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.

    • I think my main complaint with your idea is that there is a veneer of idealism spread across it. You want the simple numbers to make it easier, but all they will do is make it easier for someone to come to the wrong conclusion because the fine details will kick them in the nuts. As it is right now, the tiny bit of arithmetic is NOT the obstacle to understanding what will fit and what will not fit. The reality of trying it is what determines whether it will fit. If you had a "standard rule" that R34 GTT guards have that magic 100mm space from the hub face to whichever side you were worried about, and someone said "excellent, this wheel is only 98mm in that direction, I'll just go spend $4k on them and jam them on my sick ride".....they would just as likely find out that the "standard rule" is not true because the rear subframe is offset to one side by a fairly typical (but variable) 8mm on their car and they only have 92mm on one side and 108 on the other.
    • It still combines inches with mm, especially when you have .5 inches involved, and mm and inches that can go in either direction. This would give a clear idea on both sides of the rim, right away, with no arithmetic. Even better if somebody gives you the dimensions of the arch of multiple cars. i.e GTR may be 125mm, a A80 Supra may be 117mm, or something along those lines. Yes, you can 'know' that going from a 10in rim to a 10.5in rim with the same offset moves both sides about 6mm, but you still have to 'know' that and do the math. Often it's combined. People are going from 9.5 +27 to 10.5 +15. You may do the math to know it, but if it was going from (I had to go look it up to be sure) 241mm/2 - 27 - 93.5mm from the center line to (more math) 266/2 - 15 (118mm) from the center line. Versus 93mm vs 118mm. It's right there. If you know you have a GTT with 100mm guards you can see right away that one is close to flush and the other absolutely won't work. And when someone says "Oh the GTR is 120mm" suddenly you see that the 10.5 +15 is about perfect. (or you go and buy rims with approximately 118mm outward guard space) I think it's safe to say that given one of the most common questions in all modified cars is "How do offsets work" and "How do I know if wheels will fit on my car" that this would be much simpler... Of course, nothing will really change and nobody is going to remanufacture wheels and ditch inches and offset based on this conversation :p We'll all go "18x9+30 will line up pretty close to the guards for a R34 GTT (84mm)" but 'pretty close' is still not really defined (it is now!) and if you really care you still have go measure. Yes it depends on camber and height and dynamic movement, but so do all wheels no matter what you measure it for.
    • But offsets are simple numbers. 8" wheel? Call it 200mm, near enough. +35 offset? OK, so that means the hub face is that far out from the wheel centreline. Which is 2s of mental arithmetic to get to 65mm to outer edge and 135mm to inner. It's hardly any more effort for any other wheel width or offset. As I said, I just close my eyes and can see a picture of the wheel when given the width and offset. That wouldn't help me trust that a marginal fitment would actually go in and clear everything, any more than the supposedly simple numbers you're talking about. I dunno. Maybe I just automatically do numbers.
    • Sure! But you at least have simple numbers instead of 8.5 inches +/mm, relative to your current rims you do maths with as well, and/or compare with OEM diameter, which you also need to know/research/confirm..
