I've been told by an exhaust workshop that the difference between a single 3" dump pipe and the split dump pipe is minimal, roughly about 3kw gain (they could have told me otherwise just to make money out of me buying the split pipe)

I just dont see how couple hundred dollars extra could justify getting the split dump comparing to the gain from the single pipe (3" here). Of course if you could get a better deal from a workshop having the full system installed with the split dump then that might be alright.

If you have not done turbo back exhaust yet, then I would do that before doing a FMIC.

I put on the justjap cooler.

Now pushing a solid 0.7 bar up to red line.

With the justjap intercooler did you notice a loud noise while on boost. I am worried that the noise is indicating a lack of flow. I am also a little nervous that i have done something wrong (ie connected the vacume line to the wrong place).

I'd say speak with BATMBL on these forums for all your dump, front pipe and CAT needs.

good price and quality.

the just jap non branded hybrid style intercooler kits are a bargain and will work perfectly on your R33.

I doubt very much that any $2000 intercooler kit from ARC or hks or what ever will give you ANY different outcome than the non branded kit.

for the $1000 you save on that, you could get a POWER FC to make full use of your car's new found breathing ability.

      R32 gtst speedo out by 10kph

      Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.

      Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.

      Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .
