How long do you expect it to take, I'll try an catch-up with you after I've finished work, about 3pm, if your still around.

Get then to ditch your cat at the same time, makes nice flames from the exhaust:lol:

See'ya:burnout:

Adrian,

Don't get too excited on getting your dump pipe in. When I had my front, dump and hi flo cat done I had to run them in a couple of hundred kms to make sure the gaskets had sealed.

Once done, it should give you a meater mid range though. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Run a dump pipe in?

If done right it either seals or it doesn't. You will/should notice better turbo response (down low) and improved top end, along with a bit more boost.

The next thing to do is to wrap it in thermal tape, allth way to the cat.

revvy: so if I get a dump pipe and front pipe, adjust the timing and maybe chuck in an SAFC (we have a 5 knob one sitting around here at home) I should see a nice little bit of difference? also fit my front mount cooler that's been sitting in the garage for the last 3 months!

sup guys

i got called into work tonight as well

ahh what a day

well along with my front pipe today i replace the piping from my muffler to the cat which had a resonator and middle muffler to just straight 3" piping and boy is it loud now lolz

extreme machines seem like real good people

very pricey though

but they do know their stuff and seem to do a top job

so yeah

next week i shall get my screamer pipe in and maybe a highflow cat unsure on the cat yet!

i shall keep yaz posted

Angel ya got pics of ya car?

cheers

adrian

No pictures sorry Adrian. I"ve had it for six months and haven't even taken a photo! How slack is that. I'll catch up with U on the next cruise, or maybe a few of us could meet for coffee (or beer or something), and check out each others machines.

I will take some pictures this week. I am having some leather done on my interior, and I want before and after shots. This means I will have to give it a good wash and detail.

Rev210, the exhaust guy told me there is no point doing the dump pipe without doing the cat as well. Already booked in to do the job anyway, but is it a waste of time putting in a high flow cat?

Angel,

The hi-flow cat is a good idea, but many of us are deciding to run without one at all, just the issue of a possible $10K fine. Definately do the hi-flow cat, otherwise you will have a restriction in the exhaust and defeat the purpose of all the other stuff.

See'ya:burnout:

    • A little follow up here on the ceramic coating.  We've had storms galore here and I've done a few ks, enough to gross them up  Consensus is that they didn't get as dirty as usual, the coating definitely repelled a little of the dirt and I think they kinda snowball. They get a little dirty and then they get dirty faster which makes sense. Cleaning them regularly would allow them to protect better.  Cleaning was a breeze. I tried first to just hose them off which, unsurprisingly, did nothing. But, making the wheels wet and then just wiping them over with a used but clean microfibre cloth was all that was required. I didn't need any cleaner at all, just water and a cloth. The wheels look amazing again.
    • Gave her a nice wash today and took extra time to clean off the tree sap and tar and crap. We have a usable garage now so she'll stay cleaner longer. Took a few snaps in some nice light afterwards.   
    • OK, solid mount Z1 diff brace is in, pretty straightforward, it picks up 3 diff hat bolts and ties them to 2 support bolts on the subframe. Pretty sure someone else on here said they had reduced axle tramp with this but mine was already pretty good for smooth wheelspin, and still is....will see you this goes over time and whether I end up with a broken rear diff hat
    • Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.
    • I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...
