Running a precision and came with a 3 5/8 flange, which tapers down to 3" around the cat. I wouldn't go any larger than the exit of the rear housing, counter intuitive.

I'd only use v-bands where you really need the seal to be tight, they look cool but can be a bitch to line up and get back on.

This is what I got made up for mine, have little pipes to run as screamers or can be fully plumb back

And u gotta use teflon pushlok hose for e85

Looking good man. You must have been pumped if all of the Aeroflow stuff arrived at once! I have been ticking really similar goals off on my build. Looks like its all coming together!

Yeah it's so much stuff when it is all laid out on the bench like that haha. Pretty stoked with the progress at the moment even if my wallet is not.

Nice work as always, but just a heads up, you might want to think about upgrading to a 3.5" exhaust.

Hey man thanks, this is honestly something i should have thought about earlier but it is too late now. Plenty of people have made over 400kw with 3" (and mine is completely straight through, no mufflers/cat/resonators at all!) so i don't think it will be a limitation. Plus im not shooting for power like that anyway!

Will be going 4inch dump on mine, then 3 1/2inch back to help it breath..

The rear housing adapter Tao provides only has a 3" outlet so i don't need anything ridiculous, besides, it's too late now anyway haha.

Exactly right, no point in having 3" dump (as that is my exhaust housing outlet size) and a 3.5" or larger exhaust. I found the V-Bands pretty easy to align and get on, that was with two people though. One person might be harder but how often do you take your exhaust off? And surely you can find one mate to give you a hand hahah.

butterfly in exhaust is one thing im seriously thinking about. My car is loud and dont think my neighbors like me when i come home late night.

Exactly the reason i want one! I try to be as reasonable as possible as i know i wouldn't appreciate it. Unfortunately due to time and money constraints this idea was ditched, but it is something i would like to try and incorporate in the future. Once the car is up and running i will get something sorted, i think it is a pretty good idea for a common problem.

I know haha, I took it off the car (which was literally a 5 minute job, thanks V-Bands) just to take photos of it! And now it's off I don't want to put it back on because it looks so damn sexy! It bolts to the gearbox as well for bracing. And it sits so flush up against the body it's amazing, can't even fit my fingers between the top of it and the floor pan, running nismo mounts so it should be fine.

Exhaust also comes with a lifetime warranty, and was VERY reasonably priced. The work Dann does it absolutely top shelf, and backed by a lifetime warranty. I highly recommend to anyone!

My old exhaust was a stainless/mild mix and a bit of a slap together job. Was never loud enough for me, but I think this should definitely be loud. Left room to put a muffler/resonator in later if I want :)

Very nice mate, good to see it moving forward.

May i ask as Im about to get my intercooler piping done, whats the thinking behind having the BOV on the turbo side and not the intake side? Or does it not really matter? I was going to get mind on the intake side, just after the throttle body

Looks good mate, some ear plugs will be needed i reckon, will be interesting to see how well it flows, hope those black silicon hoses don't blow out under boost though. Looks very clean and well done though.

Thanks guys. Was getting so sick of working on it after all these moths, had really lost motivation to do anything and was hating it.

Finally got it mostly sorted and had a quick squirt around the block today. Put a smile on my face for sure! Was nice to have the car in the shed and walk away feeling happy about it :)

Just a quick photo as I put it away.

Don't know anything about BOV's sorry man as I have never run one. Before this I used a cefiro crossover pipe which had no BOV provision from factory. And I'm not using one now :)

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
