4. R33 standard turbo with standard front pipe- $200 What condition mate?

G'day Mate, would you mind doing me a favour... when the tyres are lying on the ground, how many mm's to the mounting hub face (lying facedown and backdown). I know you've given the offsets and tyre width etc, but it's going to be really tight on my car, so I'd like some exact figures if possible Thanks again, Tim

Mate can you let me know it that sale falls through. Interested in back brake setup (well, only really need the backing plate, handbrake and disc, but may as well take the hubs and calipers as well) Cheers, Timbo

hey mate, Just sent you a PM, could you let me know what's your best price for a no hassle sale. I'll come straight out and pay cash. Cheers, Tim

Dang, I just missed out!

No side pipes to see here... Front: Back: Whole thing:

Doing the dump pipe merge: Roadrunner fabrication dumps. Linden is a magic fabricator!!! I set it up in-car to work out where all the routing for the merge pipes would go. It's pretty damn tight down there with the steering arm getting well in the road. Once I'd worked out where the merge should sit, I tacked on some rod to hold the position and took it back out to work on the bench. There was no way I was going to be making these pipes from under the car. Then I sat down with a couple of 180 degree 2 1/4" mandrel bends and my MIG, and got to work. Time to test fit it. And it did fit quite nicely indeed... but the big test was with the steering arms at full left lock. There's only about 5-10mm clearance there, but that was the best I could do, and I'm happy with that So out it came for welding up. I never claim to be the best welder in the world, and unless welding is perfect there is no point showing it off... so I ground the welds smooth where possible. And the flanges... It was getting late by the time I got to the welding up the merge, and I was starting to rush a bit. It hindsight I probably should have left it for tommorow, given that there were some big gaps to fill in between the two pipes. But oh well, it's not a show car

OH sweet, the thread made it I'll add little sections as I go. Intercooler piping: Tacked up... Welded up... My welding is not great, so I ground back the welds and gave them a coat of matt black... The finished product...

damn, got all excited then realised the rear setup was sold. good price!

hmmm.. interesting....

Good info! anyone know whether austech like dealing with the public (ie: weekend wirer)

I always find it tough to find good cheap suppliers of metal that are willing to sell small amounts. But that's understandable. For exhaust bend/flanges etc i used dumperking. http://www.dkne.com.au/ For pipe/sheet/rod etc i use steel solutions... they're really handy! http://www.steelsolutions.com.au/ I haven't found a good alloy/stainless joint yet, so let me know if you find one lol

OK, so it's not a skyline, but it has got skyline wheels and skyline brakes! In all seriousness, I've joined SAU because I'd love an R32 GTR one day, but since I've already got a toy (this car) and a daily, I simply can't justify another car at the moment. Here is my baby. It's a red 1977 (RA28) Toyota Celica that I've had since 1999. It was originally very rusty, painted with mission brown house paint (by brush I think!), had a clapped out, single cam, carby, 2L, but did have a 'custom' 80s/90s interior re-trim – wooo! Stage 1 rebuild (1999-2005) got the body and paint up to scratch, rego'd with the standard suspension and engine. Stage 2 rebuild (2005) had it fitted with lowered springs and new shocks all round, and a better exhaust. Stage 3 rebuild (2008) pulled out the old 2L, and fitted a twin-turbo, twin cam, 24V, straight 6 EFI 1G-GTE out of an '89 Toyota Supra. Along with the W58 gearbox, new wiring, new radiator, twin dumps and 3" side-exiting mandrel bent exhaust. Stage 4 rebuild (2009) is sorting out the suspension and safety for racing. Started with weld on coilover kit/custom hubs/909 discs and skyline calipers on the front, but then started to get serious… specs are below. I will put pictures and more information up if/when this thread is approved, because I don't know whether Toyota builds are allowed.
