Hi All,

I just bought my first Skyline, its a 34 GTT and i want to put a Stainless Cat Back exhaust on it and im looking for a good workshop in Melbourne to do it.

Does anyone know a place where i could get this done and trust its done well??

I say this because my mate had his stainless exhaust done and it snapped at one of the welds while he was driving! He spent a bit on it and i dont wanna go through what he did.

So does anyone know a performance place where i could get this and other things done that has a good reputation and is reliable?

Also, can anyone tell me what they have, or can recommend the optimum size for the piping and muffler that will will have a nice RB sound, but also increase performance? Im thinking 3" piping, and 4.5" tip on the cannon muffler. And what do you think they would charge?

Any feedback anyone has would be greatly appreciated!

What's wrong with the exhaust that's on it now that you have to replace it?

Also, never understood the desire / requirement to have SS exhaust piping. I ran plain steel piping on my Zed for 10 year or more (daily driver, running L20ET), and the piping is still intact and shows no signs of rusting through (more than I can say for the Zed!).

      To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear

      I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.

      No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.

      I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
