Piglet's Rebuild Of His Busted Tomei 2.8

[Deano 1]

I haven't really taken any mate. Car isn't at home at the moment. Are you looking at doing a twin 3 inch?

Yea mate, I'm doing a twin 3inch on my 32. I got AES building me some custom mufflers ATM, so I won't have any clearance issues, mine will be alil diffrent, as I'm running twin 3inch to the diff and than 4inch into the rear muffler.

Rang NPC and Exedy today. Exedy were pretty damn helpful. What I need is the dimensions and tooth count of this spline hub. They might have something off the shelf which might suit me to a tee and just plonk it in my casing. Sounds good to me.

Get it sorted Piggy squid circuit is calling! It just wasn't the same with traction was it?

Basically its tuned length front pipes, into a muffler where the stocker lives which has two 3 inch 'holes', twin 3 inch out then it joins into one piece around the diff. Not enough room for two pipes. Then back out into twin 3 inch, muffler then twin tips.

Take it easy tiger. It'll be done when it gets done

yeh those tuned length front pipes in particular is what I wanted a pic of, just to get a rough idea on how they went about em, as theres so many different ways to run em.

Cheers

I know the rear one wraps over the front pipe. Makes getting them off an absolute bastard.

I just went through my photobucket, no pics of the fronts there .

Are they like Bee*R Pipes?

If Exeedy can't supply a centre hub for your clutch to match your input shaft, they may be able to provide you with something that will be close. Ie, sharing the same number of splines, but a fraction too small for the shaft.

Given to a machine shop with a CNC EDM wire cutter, they could quickly re-cut the spline to suit your requirements.

I've heard similar good reports about the NPC carbon clutches too. Streetable etc. There was a guy up here with an 800ish hp R34 that used an NPC clutch to allow the holinger box to link up properly. My exeedy carbon D twin is taking some getting used too. It tends to slip when its cold, but get it hot just once and it holds really well. It would be interesting to know if the NPC's also have to be up to temperature to get them to hold.

I had custom tuned length front pipes on my GTR years ago, it definitely kept the gearbox oil warm

Very similar, just doesn't merge. Nice example .

I'll see what comes up in the next few days. I'll get the relevant info off PPG and go from there. Thanks for the info, Ian!

And the heat that comes through the floor, esp passenger side. Jesus!

[niZmO_Man]

Totally worth it for the sound though.

[Pezhead]

I've been wondering how things are going Paul. Any progress?

[Piggaz]

Nothing yet, Eric. Car is still at the panel beaters.

Oil still hasn't been drained out of the box yet lol.

Michael Hill has given me his spare stock GTR box so hopefully over the Easter break I'll get it in then get my one stripped down.

I am considering putting a PPG dog set into a Getrag. The ratios are pretty sweet, even with the 4.11's, although would be better with the taller diff ratios.

[Marko R1]

Top loader will fix it, just like an old school gt

U need to finish it with a rip shifter!

[Piggaz]

Lol. Yeah right. Next I'll be putting a 351 in it.

You're having problems finding a center hub for the larger input shaft?

I had that problem when I went with the PPG dog box and larger spline input. Ended up going with a twin carbonetic clutch which has the optional center hub that fits the ppg input.

That's good to know, cheers! What does it drive like?

I'm really liking this getrag idea. Does anyone know what tail shaft to use with the Getrag in a 33? I know you use the R34 front shaft but not sure on the rear. I'm assuming the 34 unit also?
