Most of them, ones already on a car, two are on hold and the rest are still there.

I've now bought one as well to go with the fujitsubo exhaust that has just arrived.All i need to do is get a front pipe with hi flow cat and things will be smooooooth, but hopefully not too loud. :)

Hi Guys

I managed to get access to a hoist and some help (thanks Iain & Ben) on Saturday so decided to install the new dump pipe.

I was fortunate that I was able to talk to Jetwreck who had taken out his turbo himself and could give me some advise on how to get it out. He described working on the turbo and dump like, like working on a ship in a bottle and he is not wrong.

If you want to do this your self you need a hoist. I could not image doing this on the ground.

To get access to the nuts on the top of the dump you will need to.

* unbolt the exhaust from the dump pipe.

* unbolt the tail shaft at the back of the gear box.

* undo the bolts that keep the pipes for the attesa system in place around the tail shaft.

* undo the 4 bolts on the gear box cross member and lower the gear box by about 2-3 inches. (watch the Atessa pipe as you do this)

You will now have a tiny bit of access to the dump pipe but it is still ridiculously tight.

To undo the nuts on the dump pipe you will need a variety of tools from ring spanners to sockets with 1 - 2 uni joints and very long breaker bar.

The bottom nuts are the easy ones but the top 2 on the passenger side are hell.

We got the dump off in 2 1/2 hours.

When you remove the original dump you will need to remove the support bracket on the exhaust end and reuse on the new dump. This support is spot welded to the dump and requires a bit of work to get it off. This bracket supports the exhaust joint and is threaded so the original bolt can be used to join them. With out this support your exhaust will flex.

It took only 1/2 hour to put the new one back in. One thing to be aware of is that the nuts from the factory have a large flange on bottom edge and there are 1 - 2 nuts that need to be replaced with a nut that has little to no flange to fit on the new dump.

The O2 sensor is a bit of a pain to get out and put back in but patience and little hands will do the trick.

Bolt it all back together and you are set. (Iain may be able to post up some pics later on the difference between the 2 pipes)

The results and defiantly one of the best bang for you buck mods. The car feels more responsive to the throttle, is spooling up up earlier in the rev range. I am seeing full boost (14psi) from just over 2500 rpm. The results off the mark are well worth the effort.

The noise of the exhaust is a little louder and the exhaust note is a little deeper. You hear a bit more turbo whistle.

But I am a happy boy with the results. :P

Good job, it sounds nearly as hard as changing the whole turbo, only a few more bolts. :P

Why did the back of the engine have to be dropped? Was this to get to the top nut on the flange?

Yes, if it was not dropped you would really struggle to get to the O2 sensor and the top nut.

I forgot to mention. You should loosen the nuts holding the air box before dropping the gearbox.

Do you know wich car it was on??

Ive just recently got a full system on from West, (which i think is the same dump). Heaps more responsive. 3" pipe, metal cat and twin tip muffler. Cat sits a little bit lower than oem exhaust so i gotta watch those speed humps. Heaps happy with the guys work, it looks mad and has a real nice note. The missus hasnt complained about the noise yet so it cant be to bad!!

Is yours a white M35?

Yeah mate, an rx

Beau was telling me about your car this morning and I think there are a few shots of your dump on this thread.

He was saying that the set up on your car was a bit different to mine when he got it, like it as not quite factory and had already had some exhaust changes done.

Yes, if it was not dropped you would really struggle to get to the O2 sensor and the top nut.

I got the O2 sensor out from the top, but I had to remove the top stud from the turbo to remove the dump.

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
