Exhaust shop in Brisbane


STU E

Recommended Posts

Boost peaks @ 16psi then drops to about 13psi. Best run was [email protected] but it was a street meet so i broke out, dialled in @ 14.3. I think it may have done a 13.99 by the end of the night if it was a test 'n'tune & could have got more runs in. STUPID me changed into 5th before the finish not thinking

(4th is good for about 180kph) so it may have ran 100mph as well, best mph was 99.8 when it was still daytime. Chiptorques dyno reckons 121kw @ tyres.

Yep, I got awesome performance gains too.. But some times after I back off the throttle, it sounds like the tin man from wizard of oz going for a run.

Oh well, Still, awesome performance gains.

Another vote for Rob Bliss here. His shop did my exhaust about two years ago and it's still going strong :)

Only change needed was to cut the centre muffler out as I wanted more noise, and I had the guys (at a shop in Toowoomba, where I was staying at the time) weld in a couple of flanges.

Slightly OT, but they also made me a track-only pipe that eliminates the cat and exits under the passenger seat, it's really loud :P I dunno whether it makes any more power but geez can you hear the turbo spool! :D

My opinion is to fully check out the shops work. If you see an exhaust that you like ask the owner. I got stung with my IC pipes big time shop will remain nameless but they were in the list. I had to redo pipework for the following reasons I had a oddysey battery which he was aware of yet he ran pipework past the positive battery terminal (the battery terminal had cover on it) as the battery sat on side the pipework thumped against battery posts causing internal breakage. pipework rubbed on bonnet and together. pipe to throttle body blew off on dyno (dyno operater guessed who did work even when I refused to tell him who did it!)and final insult was a shit tin pod filter replacing a 1 month old K&N panel filter (which is now in ol' man's navara) cost was $600 for export paint painted pipework. My mate and I redid all of it ourselves had it HPC coated piping for around $300! Please don't fall in same trap I did!

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
