I'm about to buy a new set of front pipes.

I've been told that they should have a flexijoint to reduce stress on the turbos

Trouble is I like the look of the Greddy MX pipes but they don't have the flexijoint.

UAS also have a stainless steel set with the joint for a similar price.

Anyone recommend which I should go for?

Anyone inspected the Unique Auto Sports pipes to confirm quality of them or otherwise?

Cheers

Who cares what they look like when they're under the car :thumbsup:

The hks ones I've got have a flex joint, I guess they wouldn't put it there if it didn't do something.....I know that's not the best theory on other parts

i was just in the same position myself this week.

I found it interested that everyone recommend the pipe have a flex joint but alot of j brands dont use it (for example mines :thumbsup: ) anyways i ended up going the HKS one because its one of the biggest available (70 to 85 mines is)

They are like 45,000yen brand new

this is the one I purchased for my 1993 rb26dett engine, $139usd

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/89-02-Nissa...sQ5fAccessories

I also bought tuned-length manifolds from the same seller, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/OBX-TUNER-T...sQ5fAccessories

all up came to around $450AUD delivered (for the OBX front pipe with flex pipe + obx manifold). for another couple hundred I got HKS dump pipes. :thumbsup:

not yet installed. looks to be EXCELLENT QUALITY

No need to take me literally mate :D

I was in a rush to post as lunchtime was ending

By "look of" I was referring to things like the size of the secondary pipes compared to the JJR type ones (60mm versus 70mm)

I rang the UAS seller after deciding to buy but his attitude and phone manner turned me off getting them (didn't like me asking where they were made (I figured anyway) )and I didn't care how shiny they were.

Thanks for the help everyone

they are ok, but big, heavy, hard to fit and expensive. design is ok but I'm not that sold on split dumps. they claim to help spool up but during spool up wastegate is closed so how does it make any difference? ideally you want to allow the gas to expand in the fastest possible way to help flow. big bell mouth type dumps do that nicely.

What do people thinkg about the Greddy dump/ front pipe extension? It has the split dump design on it

nengun-0085-00-trust-greddy-extention_front_pipe.jpg

Great! I had them on my car until i had to remove due to ride height issues (you wont have a problem in a GTR)

However, you want to "mod" the merge to 3.5", factory they are not quite.

That's what mine had done anyway.

Although that said, putting on stock ones with GT-SS's - i didnt notice a difference :D

Yeah I've got -9s going soon. Trying to get the best of everything (even using standard parts). I want to replace my front pipe (Trust MX) as its looking very worse for ware right now.

Price wise I don't see them as expensive really. Tomei dumps are what? $800 then plus a front pipe? $600?

I'm in the market for a new front pipe for my BNR32. I'm sporting BNR34 vspev outlets and I want a high flowing front pipe to match it.

Anyone know which design offers the best flow? 1) Equal length such as the Mine's

2) Short pipe such as the stock design, RS*R, etc?

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
