Help Installing Dump Pipe

[Charles89]

Hey guys,

Was just wondering if anyone is able to help me install my 3" dump/front pipe on my R34 GTT?

Can give you a little money or some booze for your time.

Can drive to you too (providing it's not the other side of the city lol).

Thanksss

Remember after driving - you can't work on it for quite a while, and shit is just too hot in there.

Easier if it's a "come to you" and do it on a car that's cold, my hot tip for the day

[Charles89]

LOL totally forgot about that! Thanks!

But what if I don't have the place and equipments for it? lol

[R31Nismoid]

Take a slab with you and ensure you consume the first half while waiting for it to cool down

[emts]

Just hit it with a big hammer till it comes off.

that way won't burn your hands.

[R31Nismoid]

Or just throw cold water over it...

i think i should have all the tools you need to get it done..stands and socket set... i can help .. pm me more details when you want it done to see if i can make it tht time

PS - Ash is right...takes too long if you drive up...someone will have to drive to ur place to get it done...much more of a time saver...otherwise around 30-60min wait depending on how much the car has been driven

make sure you have a new gasket.

You could also speak to Scottym35(search his name)

lives in Hampton Park. He's currently doing a 34 turbo swap for a mate of mine right now. So he knows how to tackle it..

I did this to my car when I first got my car lol. Remember to spray the bolts with degreaser first and let it set. If you snap 1 bolt it's game over

wD40? lol

[Charles89]

This sounds so complicated lol

Where do I get the gaskets from? lol

Dump pipe to turbo flange has nuts, so you shouldn't have a problem with snapping studs unless your rear turbo housing is really rusted through. I did snap or thread one bolt on the dump pipe to front pipe flange...but that's nothing a hack saw can't fix! Get the gaskets from Nissan...don't get cheap eBay shit unless it's genuine, they DON'T WORK.

Sounds like we might have an episode of SAU Vic TV here... ...If you'll let me come along...

[ashneel]

charles my boy. i can do this for you. have tools etc. you can visit your g/fs family while i do it LOL

will be able to do it next week if you wanna wait till then? if not hit scotty up. as much as he hates doing things like this lol he will still doit for ya. good guy he is.

you never heard of an exhaust shop mate, they have things called hoists that lift cars up and make jobs like this really easy, shouldnt cost more than 50 bucks.

Hahahahaha film it, and all the swear words too. Charles, like I said, if you're not in a rush...I can help you

$50 to get a dump pipe swapped?

Tell me where! They cannot be making money on that. I'd cost at LEAST $200

It has both actually. In the 6-7 I have done (21U) they generally have 2 studs at the bottom with nuts, the other 4 are bolts.

Charles this is a piece of piss and a pain in the ass at the same time. Realistically it is a 1 beer job, maybe 2 if you still have all the heat shielding and shit installed.

WD40 the nuts/bolts up heaps. Let it sit for at least 10 mins, then hit em again.

Then try to crack them one by one, once cracked roll them backward and forward 1/4 turn. If they are still tight keep rolling then backward and forward, if they are loose and coming out just undo them all the way. If they are tight and you don't roll them back and forward you risk snapping them. Dance a jig and stand on your head drinking water also helps.. :|

The bottom and top ones are a piece of piss, the two in the middle can be hard to get at.

You will need a new one of these. Andy should be able to get them for you in singles without the rest of the kit.
