Is there anyone in Canberra that does custom pipe work. I'm thinking of getting a garrett 30 series and need a 4 inch/100mm intake pipe, and long split dump system. I can trailer the car to canberra, but if I have to go to sydney I'll have to use a transporter.

i've been to city exhaust a fair few times with both my skyline and stagea, and they've done all good things for me. people get bad experiences everywhere though, just make sure you know exactly what you want and that they know it too.

I would also recommend powertone. They did a great job on my last car a 93 barina cat and full exhaust 2" for only $500 which is great and sounded good all in mild steel. The guys there are really tenacious about there work if it is not perfect they are not done :D

i am doing the same to mine very shortly going to doing it myself using ss pipe ill let you know how it goes.

Well really i am getting a good mate to do it with his mig. lol.

There are lots of ppl that can work in ss. Just need to ring and some of the exhaust places. Or some of the performance shops.

I am also in the same boat.

I have fitted a batmbl front split dump and just bought a 3" metalcat without flanges.

After having a really good look at my exhaust the middle section is not 3" so I want to replace the middle section and get the cat put in at the same time.

I have been quoted rediculous prices. like $500 to get it done in stainless for a peice of pipe that is 1 metre long and two 3" flanges. I am not made of money.

race snooze if you have a mate that can do the welding he is worth his weight in beer :teehee:

That's what the exhaust places want to charge anyway.

    • Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.
    • DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
    • As per title.. has anyone used so far? Keen to hear results, comparisons. In the market for a new mani for my new turbo. Any issues cracking?
    • Re read everything that has been written about this in this thread.. Let us know if you're still confused.
    • This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
