Rb25Det 3" Dump Pipe - What Is This One Off?

A few months ago we bought a second-hand 3" dump pipe to replace the stock one in our R33 GTST. We looked under the car at the old one, then looked at the one we were buying, and thought they were the same.

The other day we removed the stock one, and realised that the new one was about 6" longer. As well as this, the flange that the cat bolts to is oriented different - ie rotated on the pipe so the holes don't line up.

Anyone know what this pipe might be out of? It is a commercially made one, with a brand name on it (which I can't remember - pipe is not here).

The turbo end mates up fine, and the pipe runs in the right place. The welded on mounting bracket at the cat end fits to the car's mounting point, but obviously the cat doesn't fit.

Any ideas on the best way to make it fit, without spending a small fortune at an exhaust shop?

Um.....define "small fortune". What are you expecting us to tell you? That you can whack it with a hammer and it will fit? I think it is pretty clear that if you want to connect it to your existing cat then you are going to have to cut the flange off, shorten the pipe and weld it back together so it mates with the cat. If there is some left-right offset or angle difference that means you can't make it connect, then you are better off removing the cat from the rear part of the exhaust and getting the mid pipe altered to suit.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
