If you don't mind high mount for the EFRs then just buy their twin kit :thumbsup:

Me, I'd prefer the stock manifolds and to have the turbs in the factory location :)

Can even use your factory style front pipes with the EFR kit. The full race dumps bolt upto it.

But looks like a disaster under the bonnet

Hi guys, so picked up the HPI dump pipes today. Spoke to the seller and he said the dump pipes should connect to my existing nismo weldina dual 2.5 inch exhaust as the flanges are the same size. I thought the HPI dumps are 3 inch and won't work with my existing exhaust. To cut the story short, I won't have the budget to get the new dual 3 inch exhaust until later this year, my questions is will the dump fit onto the nismo exhaust and is it worth doing it now or wait for the new exhaust and install it all together?

Personally I don't find the standard system that hard to work on, there are a number of people here who have seen me get the turbos off in 2 hours

:O

If your stock dump pipes fit then something tells me that the hpi ones will aswell

I think he means there is going to be a lip going from the 3 inch internal diameter dumps to the 2.5 inch front pipes.

Just do it all at once. Bugger doing stuff multiple times.

can i pay you 2 hours labor next time i need mine swapped?

lol, well it still a bargain even if its a half job??

id then have the option to purchase the re install or

i could now afford to tow it and finish it off myself having saved a fortune and not slicing the f@#k out of my baseball mit hands that fit nowhere.

so for the record im still keen

can i pay you 2 hours labor next time i need mine swapped?

yep sure thing! one question tho, how do you intend to get it out of my driveway with making a mess? Cause I won't be shy to charge cleaning fees

Hi guys, quick update. Took the pods off and changed back to airbox and took it for a few runs (taking piggaz's advice). Couldn't really tell if there are any improvements with lag, feels about the same. It's alot quieter though so I'll leave them on for a bit and see. What I did notice is that after the first run I left the car idling for a few mins, then going for another run it felt slight loss in power. It seems that the R34 Gtr power is affected by under bonnet temperature. So perhaps the airbox is better when in stop/start traffic.

Will report back with next mods hopefully in a few weeks, just saving up a bit.

    • When's the rear mounted turbo kit coming? Needs dose and V8 chop idle lol.
    • I was very unimpressed with how the car came up from the A pillar forward, before I hit things (twice). It all has to go. It had to go, but now it has to go... more. So we finally found the very first Shennanigans with the entirely perfectly setup engine that had no problems being pulled apart to improve on 'was perfectly fine'. Cam bearings looked a bit... stock. Which isn't entirely bad given they were stock and this is a ~20 year old engine. So new cam bearings are on the way because it's somewhat difficult to get to this stage to do it later, and it will trash the block. It was quite unusual that it wasn't done when the perfectly new-looking VCM cam was originally installed by [unknown] What IS unusual is the cam that was installed there was advanced SIX degrees. As to why there is no way to know.. however it could have been @Dose Pipe Sutututu's mate who wanted a larger cam sound but also wanted it to come on earlier to be more usable. This is my dyno sheet with the previous setup - This cam is not supposed to peak until 7000+ RPM, according to VCM. This is what lead me down the whole 'my heads/intake setup is running out of puff and can't support the cam' line of thinking to begin with. Anyway too late now - New cam is in! It could be rather funny if this smaller cam acts like a larger cam because it isn't advanced six degrees. In the spirit of everything is working amazingly - the COMP cam required no dialling in whatsoever. It was about 0.5 degrees advanced, which seems pretty bang on. Any adjustment either way would be further out. I'm told as a chain breaks in it ends up regarding back about 0.5 a degree as the chain breaks in, making it bang on. In the spirit of everything was previously working amazingly - The timing gear that was taken out turned out to be was an N-Motion double timing chain kit, with adjustable cam gear (which is how it was 6 degrees advanced) and all looks entirely perfectly new. It also had a Torrington bearing, which was one of the reasons I ended up getting the Cloyes kit which they used in the C5R 24 hour racecar - Because I couldn't confirm what was in the engine when talking to Tony Mamo. I did believe however it was a Double chain kit of some kind... but found no supporting documentation or evidence for it.
    • I recently did this to my R33 with the full set from Car Mats Direct, they can't do the vinyl anymore that's advertised on the website due to a supplier issue so I ended up with the Black Loop Pile which looks great. I went all out with rubber sound deadening sheets from Repco and also added the sound deadening foam layer option with the carpet. Makes a world of difference and got rid of all the weird smells in the 29 year old interior. It was a bit of work but I'd 100% recommend it, Car Mats Direct had awesome customer service and quick postage. Replaced my seats with some sporty ones from Autotechnia while I was at it, feels like a new car.
    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way.
