The mandrel bent bends on the intake are awesomeness. My setup and exhaust are Frankensteins in comparison. Mandrel bent bends chopped on angles and welded are not a substitute for something that's been proven and engineered.

Mate that's clean as can be the round plenum before the catch can is awesomeness!

It's like t-revs said I will have to have a look and measure the diameter and angles. Guessing or copying will not be the same on your car as mine is fully custom the maf will have too be accounted for and the pod filter and bracket might be different. More than happy to have a look and help you out for cost price on the bends and will weld it for zero. Nothing is as easy as it looks, it a skyline!

Show us you dad!

All good. I've got 3" Ali off the intercooler and 3" s/s In the engine bay. The 304 s/s is more heat resistant and less prone to cracking than aluminium. The aluminium will get a better smooth penetration on the inside of the tubes compared to stainless unless you purge weld it. Also aluminium is lighter. Or you would have to use different s/s filler rods that we don't have at work anyway. No cut out at all. I've still got loads of jobs on the car that need to be done at work and can't bring myself to head in on the weekends. I did my apprenticeship at opposite lock/outback accessories, then k&n fabrication as the foreman. I've been at exhaust fabricators/ engine protection equipment for 18 years as the foreman. If someone else has it jigged up for cheap go for it.

Ouch!

Lucky it had the map or I was going to get Steven hawking in to crack the code. Will need a confirmation from Shoey it doesn't involve bicycles?

Will post a pic of mine after dinner. Curried sausages. Just lost Mkr

Thanks. At work we sell all the s/s m/s Ali tubing and bends. Plus all the silicone hoses. Clamps, reducers and what not. I'd have to have a look at what you want then get you the gear at cost pricing. We only do heavy duty or mainly diesel stuff at work and I wouldn't recommend the labour costs! But would be happy to have a look and try to help you out! I've got heaps of stuff to fix on the 33 but going into work on the weekend bums me out. Is it 3" piping?

Show us your chopper!

One like for my fully difficult charge air tube. Hope it was my boss?

Funny story for u guys. My wife was In the xr8 on gt. eastern hwy near the casino. She took off pretty quick from the lights as she does in the 6 speed manual. She heard a awesome sounding loud as v8 next to her looked over and was surprised to see it was another lady driving a new black senator. It pulled level with her then started gassing it on and off for a race. My wife will never bite back. Unbeknownst to her and my wife the police were right behind them. Woop, Woop, pulled the commodore over. Haha. My wife panicked and thought it was for her but the police waved her on:-)

For the other people. Whoosh. Flutter. Pop pop!

Your a maniac. I reckon if I came off these days it would be crack tinkle tinkle, measure up the coffin. Haha came off and ate shit. Funny as!

Check the tube out. (from the Dennis) Intercooler to manifold intake pipe on the charge air or boost side were 4" o/d. Because the intercooler outlet and the manifold were cast pipes the I/d of the cast pipe was approximately the same as the I/d of a 3 1/2 inch 16 guage tube. They have had problems with the 4" Ali tubes being worn through and cracking from the compressor lines of the Cummins engine wearing through and losing boost pressure and rattling. I left the tube running off the intercooler at 4" like a plenum then reduced it to 3 1/2 to clear the chassis rail and compressor tubes. Still had to press a flat in it for clearance at 3 1/2 inch o/d s/s. We had to lift the chasis from the leafs just to be able to manoeuvre the tube in with a porter power because the 2ton forklift couldn't lift it. Developed 3 tubes from 316 s/s, done the drawings and jigged it up. 2 days. Tighter than a nuns I'm there. Mental.

Yeah mate. It's a pretty extreme sport as you obviously know. Heart was in my mouth for a few seconds. He dusted it off told everyone he was fine then got on the bike and dumped it again because the chain came off during the stack. He tried to finish the lap. I was fully proud of the boy. The track out at Westside has a pretty extreme start. Best track in w.a. I think.

But crack flossing. A full team of surgeons with pointy nose pliers.

Shoey divided by 100. Did about 703 metres! His knee, hip and elbow had munga deep grazes and the wrist blew up instantly. Checked out all good in X-rays. Phew. Already pushing hard for a day off school tomorrow. Haha. Bad luck. I've been crawling around in and under a dual control rubbish truck called Dennis making 4"s/s intercooler tubing for 2 days. You will be going to school. Show us your dad. Awww

Show us your kids. First night back to Bmx racing for a month. Told the boy it's been a while take it easy. Cruised around for 2 laps, then hammered it out the start gate didn't clear the first jump binned it down the massive Hill. 20mins. Just got home from emergency. The boy is destined to own a skyline.

Wow your a animal. I'm a member down at bayswater waves. Have been lazy for about 3 months and skipped the gym and pool then back injury again. I was feeling a bit sorry for myself in the hydrotherapy pool, there was a girl in there about 8yrs old with a smile on her face trying her hardest struggling in the pool. I was thinking good on her for being overweight and excersizeing in the pool. Then they put her in the wheelchair. Puts things back into perspective. Have been at the pool 5 days a week to get back on track. I felt so selfish, angry because I was back in the hydrotherapy pool struggling with my back and there was a beautiful child with a big smile on her face who would never be able to walk again. Never feel sorry for yourself. Make the best of what you have.
