out of interest for those participating in the group buy, one of the WA guys got a custom stainless dump and front pipe made up and gained 40 rwhp with it. however it was a 3.5" unit.

so you guys should be looking at around 30rwhp gains

good luck and good motoring.

I also think the squabaling in this thread needs to stop.

40 rwhp from a dump pipe!!!, I find that hard, no impossible to believe!!

:confused:

Please note that comment was not made by me and Skyzzer was only mentioning what he heard.

As mentioned once the dyno results are given to me then we will have figures.

Check the other thread - the systems are now ready.:P

you shouldn't, but his car has afew other mods that help like a safc which when re tuned with the dump provided the big gains.

you do realise that the dump will increase your boost even if you don't have any form of boost control, so that helps aswell.

Guys things are moving along nicely I have just been to the workshop myself and they have a heap of different mufflers and resonators just for the skyliners!

A few of you have already booked for today which is great to see and Hi Tech is already processing some melbourne orders.

My car is being done currently so I will have a report for you later today.

Nick :D

    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
    • Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups. 
    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
    • Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet
