Lol, was under my car yesterday inspecting clutch fork and noticed I had some pretty fat front pipes already installed. Measured them up to be 2.5 inch primaries into 3 inch secondary. Can't find a brand name on them but the welds look immaculate and it seems quite sturdy. Win! Its funny how sometimes you can own a car for a while and not realize what's done to it.

I'd still be getting bigger pipes mate, what dumps do you run?

I'd be getting 3 inch dumps, the biggest f@ck off front pipes you can find. High flow cat into 3 1/2...

The closer you are to the turbos the larger the diameter of the piping required, as we all know hot air expands ;)

Conflicting advice everywhere, people say 3inch is good for up to 400kw. Others say 300kw, I love the Internet. I may just sell of my entire system and get a 3.5 inch system made up just to be safe.

With any question there's going to be conflicting info from those that have heard stuff off mates or just take a guess.

I've done it on my own 32. Over 400rwkw through those size front pipes and an off the shelf xforce cat back which I can tell you now is less than 3.5".

Save your money and spend it somewhere else on the car, those front pipes you're talking about will do the job. Plus if they're Nismo the quality will be awesome like all Nismo parts.

Personally I'd be buying those front pipes wherever youve seen them and then a set of R34GTR (or HKS which come up from time to time) dump pipes with the money saved from not going custom/overkill.

^^this man knows,

If stevo reckons that those pipes are good for the power your making then that's good enough for me. Unlike alot of people his advice comes from experience and knowledge.

The nismo pipes will be top quality and you know they are going to bolt in and fit 100% of the time!

Like I said before you will need the bigger dump pipes as well with the high flow cat

    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
    • yeah, there's a country that recently started importing Skylines, I blame them.
    • I don't have a printer, but could at least attempt to make a printable model.
