Turbo Tits

Hi All, Looking for a standard R34 GTR steering wheel in good condition. Thanks

Hi 9krpm - We had this repair done not too long ago at a crash repairer. What they did was weld a long lever to the area needing to be pulled out. Lifting the lever with a lot of force pulls the metal out. The longer the lever, the easier it will be for you. When the rails were straight, the lever and welds were removed and the rails painted with black rubber paint. The rails are dead straight now and look like new - I was pretty imprressed. Hope that helps.

If you want to be anal, or if you're interested... Mild steel = 7860 kg/m3 vs Stainless steel (304) = 7930 kg/m3 If you can afford the best, go titanium. Other than that, I personally prefer the sound from a mild steel system over a stainless one, which is the deciding factor for me.

hi there, are they r32 injectors?

thats hot

Hiya, These come in many diameters. Which one is yours?

hiya. i was told the same. i just went through regency a few weeks ago and i only had to wait 2 weeks from the time i booked the car in.

have a read of what sly33 has to say. it may help. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...p;#entry1739046

works for me, catalogue and all. maybe its all good now?

Yep, so far i have 2 quotes. Having trouble finding local services though. On Monday i'll try calling engine builders to see if they know of anyone.

Just a quick update. I got in touch with Andrew from Specialised Power Porting in Victoria. He's asking $550 for his extrude honing service. Sounds like a great guy, really helpful and willing to chat. General turnaround time is 2 weeks. But he said if you call a few days in advance and let him know when the manifold will arrive, he can pencil in into his workload and can have it done in a few days.

busky, thanks for that, it makes more sense now madaz, screw the dremel, i'll extrude hone it myself. Swallow large amounts of abrasive matter and take a dump through each runner. done!

In regards to my setup, since it is the only part of the exhaust tract that has not been modified (ie. enlarged), I'd expect some power gains, how much remains to be seen. Say you have a setup with a standard exhaust manifold that is pushing the turbo to its limit at the top end, with boost falling off near redline, would this mean that most of the gains from extrude honing be made in the midrange? What do you guys think?

I was expecting $300 at most. $650 feels like robbery. For me, keeping the engine bay looking legal is a must, so I guess i'll sit on it until $650 doesn't seem so bad. May take a while...

In case anyone is interested, I was just quoted $650 from Abrasive Flow Engineering to extrude hone my standard RB25 exhaust manifold. They told me they have done them before, and have increased their flow capability from ~130cfm to ~170cfm. Not a cheap exercise! Nuts

Hey buddy. Yeah, the car went through fine, even got decent fellas too. I hope youre enjoying the diff. I'm gonna have to give this dyno day a miss, as the car is still in standard form from regency. Take it easy

Hi everyone! Can someone please point me in the direction of an extrude honing service in Adelaide? They are quite elusive, white and yellowpages search didn't come up with the goods. The only company that I can find on the net is Abrasive Flow Engineering in Sydney. I hope someone can help.

hi bloodsword! do you have the standard exhaust manifold? willing to sell? cheers!

Hiya. I just took my car through regency with a pod and big front mount still on the car. No problems.... and I had 3 staff members going over the car at the same time, so you should be ok.

PM for you

Thanks heaps for the response guys! theres a lot of love in adelaide. nozila is taking the diff. Noz.. if you have time, ill try to hook up a hoist this weekend. are you free? its not set in stone, but i'll do my best. re the child restraint brackets... i ended up just making my own that way i dont have to keep borrowing them whenever i have the misfortune of reverting the car to stock. many thanks to everyone who offered! warm feelings for you, i have.

doh! thanks heaps for the info man

hi everyone, took the car through regency today. all was good except for the shimmed diff and less two child safety restraints, the ones that go over the speakers on the parcel shelf. i was just wondering if anyone had a spare standard diff lying around for a r33 gts25t? and if anyone wouldnt mind unbolting their child restraints and going without them for a fortnight or so, can you please let me know, i would really appreciate it. if you like, i could arrange some beer or other alcoholic beverage for your generosity.

hahahah, you flew right off the rails with that one! You quite clearly missed my point, but you almost got there. Good try. Don't be so defensive, this is a discussion forum, so discuss. Encourage conversation, don't put people down. Try thinking about what people say, rather than interpreting things so black and white. What makes you so sure that the meaning you took from my statement was the one I intended? Lastly, if what I was thinking was "stupid", I would not have thought it necessary to add it to the "discussion".

because there is money to be made. some companies sell plenums, some sell wheels. you can buy aftermarket wheels and make your car look worse... but the company still made money didnt they?
