its true, i never use a catch can when I sex

yeah maybe this is one for mythbusters cause your idea is definately plausable and works well for you ..

guy at enzed didnt agree your long hose theory John, reckons it will travel at same speed regardless. I dunno im not convinced either way yet. But apparently its good to have it somewhere cool as it helps it condensate, Meaning it will seperate from the air better

are we making oil catch cans or bongs

how crazy you want to go, i just set a very basic one up for less than $100.. Greddy style tins on ebay for $33 plus 15$ postage 1 metre of black oil hose from enzed $30 mount it away from your turbo cause you dont want it hot, I mounted it under the airbox and run the lines through the old intercooler hole. Pretty simple but effective enough.can post pics if u like. however if you are getting excessive blowby might want to consider a more elaborate setup

easy big fella. im all for helping a brother out dont get me wrong here, but you gotta admit that crawling around on my back in the dirt trying to fix an exhaust is never fun . Maybe if you were as friendly with your local exhaust shop or mechanic wshop as you are your "tight nit communtiy of fellow forum members" you might find he doesnt rip you off so much.. so what if daalder quoted you 200, did you ever think to shop around? If you cant at least attempt to tackle a job as simple as a front pipe on your own you may as well learn to start paying professionals. No offense intended charles, but this is a really simple job . There is 8 bolts holding it on, 9 including the o2 sensor. All you need is a basic set of metric spanners,a jack and some wd40. The only time it gets really tricky is when the bolts are rusted in hard in which case you will need an oxy and Ashneel wont be able to do that in your driveway ( unless he carries an oxy )which means you will need to take your car to a workshop of some sort.. If you cant do this on your own then maybe backyard mechanics isnt for you and you might as well start getting friendly with your local community of automotive workshops. Anyway my advice is go buy a set of spanners and some wd40 and have a go youll be surprised how easy it can be. Then not only will you have a new front pipe, you will have a sense of pride yu did it yourself, a new set of spanners, half a can of wd40 and the knowledge to know you can do it all again As the old saying goes, give a man a fish, feed him for a day, teach a man to fish , feed him for a lifetime.

Hey guys, selling this due to change of plans. Brand new in box comes with TB adapter, pipes, bolts, fittings, everything u need.. Can deliver anywhere in and around melbourne. Or post at buyers expense..

I'll buy one if I can sell my plenum..

I supplied all parts and got mine fitted along with oil in box and diff changed for $150..Guess I got lucky. I did try do it myself but bolts on the cat were rusted on good and proper, needed an oxy to get them off. Aside from that it is an easy job.

really, what they try to charge u?

you never heard of an exhaust shop mate, they have things called hoists that lift cars up and make jobs like this really easy, shouldnt cost more than 50 bucks.

so im talking to a bloke in bursons the other day about koni shocks, he tells me that drivers side springs or shocks are often a bit higher to allow for driver weight. Also with commodores cause the fuel tank is on that side etec etc. Basically what I want to know is, is he right is there a difference between lh and rh shocks or springs. Main reason is I bought some springs from USA a while back and have found konis for as little as 750 delivered but will I have to swap sides to allow for this difference?

sorry guys , I swore i read somewhere the other day 33 was 8.5... Think Im going nuts so Ill stop trying to be helpful now

tao also has different pistons yes, also compression differences between 33 and 34, depending on turbo used lower comp tends to make better power on high boosted engines does it not ? Just a thought.

using your washer bottle as a bong may seem like a great idea, but its not roadworthy

FMICs aren't cool anymore, get with the times man!

it could just be out of gas too

Another good idea would be to put a little cushion on the clutch pedal ,it also helps if you wear 2 pairs of socks, thick ones..

Id say strip it yourself, Then get the shop to makes sure the chassis straight and replace any structural parts (IE welded to the frame such as radiator support etc) then put all the bolt on bits back together yourself.. You would save a heap of coin and still know the jobs been done properly. as for painting a few cans maybe 4 or 5 would nearly do a whole front end so it is at least roughly the same colour. If you dont care about the job being done properly and just want it going again cheap as possible just get a hammer and start hitting shit..

Or you could quit smoking..

and have you had any fines in the last 5 years

holy crap theres a washer on the back windscreen, I never knew..lol while where on the subject, Has anyone seen my windscreen wipers, i took them off to paint them now i cant find them anywhere

I wear an Akubra

I too had a yearning to try something a little different disco, started when i was fitting a normal front mount but didnt want to chop up my series one bar.. After a lot o fluffing around and some good help from Scotty, "Frankencooler" was born looking something like this Its pretty stealthy once its all together. It works well makes 240kw and is very responsive, but is only possible if you are willing to lose aircon and f**k around fabricating stuff. I am keen to do a FFP as well for even less piping when the funds exsist .. Before this I was toying with the idea of a vertical type cooler as well, there was one i found was about 500 wide by 300 high with tanks top and bottom, (I think it was from supra actually) so you could hook the bottom one up like you would a normal FMIC but you would have to pipe the top through next to the radiator which would make it really short as well. I was also considering the Gktech one that Brad suggested. Only thing i can suggest is keep scouring ebay cause all sorts of weird coolers pop up there, and keep your imagination open, you'll need it

You should put it in your maxima Brendan..lol
