Due to the amount of interest in these front pipes on the forum i thought i would organise a group buy.

For this to go ahead we need the following:

Minimum 5 sets

50% deposit prior to order (other 50% paid when goods are picked up)

The price for these will be $1,100 delivered to Sydney all taxes/shipping etc included. For people outside the Sydney area that cannot pickup the only additional charge will be shipping from Sydney to you.

Please bear in mind that while internet companies may quote a cheaper price for these once you include shipping costs and taxes they are condsiderably more expensive to the tune of $1,400 to $1,500 by the time they are here.

I will leave this open for people until the end of this month (June) for people to express interest, if there is not 5 people willing to pay a deposit on 30 June the buy will not go ahead.

This group buy has been made possible buy Advan Performance so you are buying from a reputable company in Australia that will provide receipts.

Here is a pic of the front pipes but please note this is only half the front the pipes.... the rear piece is not pictured in this pic. If someone wants pics of the complete pipes post here and i will get some.

Andrea, Richard here. we have met a couple of times at WSID and weekend before last at Advan (I drive a gunmetal 32GTR).

hmm, that really is a good price for those delivered, considering how much they are even when buying from a backyard net business

ATM I am just tossing up between going Big Single, or sticking with low mount twins. If I decide to stick with twins I think I may get these to keep me happy in the mean time. Would it be too much trouble to get a fitting price from Advan for us?

Thanks,

Richard

Hi Richard :D

I have tried to get the best possible price for them and i think i have. Better than any internet backyard company i have found.

I am in the same situation as you deciding if i should stick with twins or go for the single, it's a tough choice :confused: I really love these pipes and if i get a set i think i will cry if i ever scrape them on a speed hump.

I will get an price estimate on fitment for everyone as a guide. Because the turbos have to come off there will be a few hours involved.

yeah, it is a very nice price.

That would be great on fitting estimate :D

They certainly are the nicest looking GTR dumps/fronts I've ever seen.

Cheers,

Richard

I have had requests for details of what you get so here is a pic of the complete system, nothing else is required.

Remember only 50% ($550) is required in a months time and the rest after the goods arrive which would be approx 3-4 weeks after order is placed so it's the perfect way to spend your tax refund cheque :O

:wavey:

:)

I was just wondering if you had any word yet on a fitting estimate? Doesn't have to be a firm price for us to beat them about the head with, just an estimate would be fine :D

Thanks.

Ok, Due to the fact that the turbos have to come off to fit dump pipes on a GTR there is quite a bit of labour involved unfortunatly as well as costs of coolant etc due to the turbos coming off. So, you would be looking at a cost of approx $700 fitment including coolant etc. I have no idea how that compares to other shops though.

that seem reasonably fair if the turbos have to be removed. If that's the case it would definately be at least a whole days labour.

I will consider what to do... perhaps it may be worthwhile to spend another few K and get turbos at the same time...

Thanks for chasing that up. I'll have a think and let you know before the deadline.

While your doing to turbos, its probably worth doing the manifolds ... :)

Its a shit of a job to change the dump pipes, but its quite possible for the home mechanic over a few days if you feel like saving the cash.

LW.

Will these bolt onto the standard R32 GTR turbos ? How about the cat at the other end? If so put me down for a set - should be in perfect time for my next trip out to Racepace.

Andrea, you certainly are tempting me. I have been thinking about going to big single route, purely because I love the sound of an external wastegate. but my head tells me i'll be better off with a set of 2530s or similar.

I will get back to you before your deadline.

thanks.

No problem Richard, If yourself an lwells decide to purchase then we only need one more for it to go ahead, no pressure or anything lol :jk:

I too love the sound of an external gate but the power that can be made from smallish twins with the right setup is hard to look past, the legalities of the screamer is what worries me.

    • Hey @Butters, did you end up getting this clutch in ? I have just ordered to a uniclutch track to go in my getrag 6 speed that’s in my BNR 32     
    • I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive
    • Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?
    • This came quicker than I thought. It ain't even 2025 yet.
    • I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
