Well i have a r32 gtr engine which was having boost issues, so I pulled the turbos off and there are cracks in the wastegate housing.

While they are off I have come across r34 dump pipes for sale and after reading a few other posts some seem to say they are better than r32 ones.

Are these worthwhile getting? How much better flowing are they than the earlier models? Also do they bolt straight up to everything else?

Advice is greaty appreciated. cheers

If are ever going to change the dumps then you want to do it while you're changing the turbos, so yes do it now. There's a thread on the difference the dumps make, up to you to interpret what's in that thread..... I'm using the xforce splits (with modified o2 sensor mounting) cost me $280 from NZ(ebay) + $60 for the mod, and they seem to work fine. If the R34's are cheaper than that then they're a good option as they will be higher quality.

EDIT: Oh you'll have to either modify the o2 mount (as the 33/34 use different o2 sensors to the 32s), or get 33/34 o2 sensors. o2 sensors are a maintenance item at 40,000kms so you might as well put new ones in either way. The 32 and 33/34 sensors are a electrically different, but some have used them interchangeably with success. I stayed with the 32 sensors as i though it would be lower risk.

Ok thanks for that. i'll probably look at getting the r34 ones then as i have found some relatively cheap. So other than the mount for the oxygen sensor there anre no other modifications? Are they the same shape as the earlier ones and will bolt up to my existing exhaust?

Anybody else have an opinion also? I'd like as many as i can before I actually buy so I know I am doing this right

(not that i don't trust MrStabby:s advice

)

cheers

thanks mrstabby and gfunk I'm leaning towards the r34 dump pipe but would like to know if anyone elsee has experience with using them also? and are they a straight bolt up with only modification being for O2 sensor. Cheers

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
