Ok fitting my front turbo dump pipe and xforce cat this weekend to my R33 GTS25T is there anything i need to know or do just to make life easier in the process i only have access to ramps and trolley jack.

I already have a Nismo cat back 3 inch system so im guessing a cat and front splite pipe from turbo should fit on np.

Use plenty of lube! Those bolts and nuts are going to be rusted. Might want to buy a whole new set of high tensile fasteners. If you're removing the dump pipe, you might as well change the turbo outlet gasket, if you haven't done it in a while.

Are you using the stock front pipe? This piece has a little lip where it meets the dump pipe, meaning the internal diameter tube sticks out from the flange, and it might not fit properly into your new dump pipe.

Make sure you are using the proper Steel gasket for the dump pipe, if you get given one that looks like paper between two sheets of aluminum then give it back cause it will leak, tighten the bolts a little at a time and evenly, and dont cross thread anything or you will want to cry and swear alot :domokun:

Ok yer i was guessing rust would be prominent as far as i know the its the whole system from turbo and cat so im not using any stock exhaust components except bolts.

i was also told use Loktite on ALL exhaust bolts dont drown it just a swipe on 1 side of the bolts or nail polish if i dont have loktite.

Is there any gains in cleaning my o2 sensor if so how would i go about doing it if i can.

also i remember on my TX3 i had a turbo to manifold gasket that was like a perferated steel looking thing it burnt out same day it was installed and started leaking so i stay away from that crap.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!

      That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect

      It's about time I start work on my sun tan. So I knocked up a few parts that will all combine together to become my new power steering reservoir. Now just to produce an abundance of UV and IR rays while melting a heap of bits of alu to become one... Well, that's after I put one more hole in it for the return line to plumb to. It likely won't be this weekend, as Sunday I'm meant to be in doing some last minute stuff to the AMG race car, and the weekend after will be filled with non my Skyline stuff, followed by Bathurst 6 hour. So I don't expect to get to melt metal for at least 3 weeks.   I also managed to stuff up and start cutting the hole for the res to pump pipe on the wrong side of the line... It means instead of the lines being nice and tight against the inner guard, they'll be out off the guard.    The size of it means I should end up with about 1.8L of power steering fluid, and still have space for another half a litre before it reaches the overflow/breather. This is wayyyyyyy more capacity than factory, which should help keep Powersteer oil temps lower, and the design hopefully allows it to prevent any aerated oil being able to makes its way down to the bottom as it'll have a couple of baffles and some hopeful trickery to force air bubbles away from the bottom.
