hey all

need a piece of custom intercooler piping made up?

anywhere in melbourne anyone can suggest?

at the right price?

cheers

:laugh:

u get what u pay for :wave:

any decent metal fabricating shop can make it up for you.

any exhaust shop can make it for you ...

etc ... ;)

heck, ive made exhausts and i/c piping before ...

It aint easy!

My 2c....its not hard to do right but its easy to get wrong. For good quality custom job it will cost up to $600...there is easily 8 hours work in doing it plus materials

hehe i know that all too well, godamnit

make sure you get the ends of each pipe lipped so to prevent hose blow-off!

awww, where is the fun in that ... no fun at all ... NONE ...

also get heavy duty t clamps

shyte all over regular hose clamps in every way, just dont crush the aluminium, (if ur pipes end up being made out of alloy)

:P

So far it has taken me around 8 hours to get 90% of the pipework complete for mine.

There is a lot of measure, mark, measure, fit, mark, measure, weld....

Mandrel bent sections are fantastic. If you do it by hand, make sure you have at least a miter box, and a hacksaw blade that is suitable for high speed steel so that you can get a nice clean and straight cut.

to save some money you could source the parts yourself,

Tubesales in Thomastown deliver high quality stainless steel bends and straight pieces anywhere in melbourne for around the $10 mark, if you are from the east side it is definately worth having it delivered,

the bends are approx $23 each and the 3 inch stainless is approx $16 per meter.

I found it to be pretty cheap.

they are in the white pages and are pretty good to deal with.

    • Welcome. Dont let anyone dissuade you from your dreams. If you want a gtr, keep sabing and you will eventually get one. I feel like if I had have bought stocks, those companies would have gone bust and I would have lost my money.  There's a gamble in everything we buy. I've had good times and bad. But... I've also met my absolute best friend through this network and can't imagine life without them(more like a brother). Keep in mind, some specific mods will change as technology gets better. If you feel like general chat, there's always the wasteland.....
    • Those are some very cutesy barriers! Is that common?
    • Saw this abandoned Honda Fit in a carpark that was getting repaved... they just 'cut around it' and continued with the job! There's a number of reasons why the car could have been abandoned, but as for the construction company, legally they don't have permission to move the car from the owner (who has moved on and can't be contacted) so all they can do it just leave it there with enough space around it so it won't get damaged. 
    • You’ll want to have the block drilled and tapped to suit 1/2in head studs and the head for the same. How much power do you intend to make?
    • Sorry for resurrecting an oldish thread Not much has happened in the past year since the last update. The car did another 1000 miles or so and failed the MOT for the first time in October (failed on tyres which had been advised for a couple of years) In October the car got put up for sale and was removed in November due to no interest, being so close to christmas it was to be expected. The roads were dry in February so I decided to tax it early and get the new tyres fitted.   Fast forward to April, I got someone in to give the car a good clean after sitting for the winter.                                 The car got re-advertised and today (Saturday 3rd May) the car sold. The new owner is planning a GTR conversion at some point and a respray in the same pearl white. It's bitter sweet, it's a shame to have the car sit there for half the year and then only do 1000 miles. The kids are growing too quick and space in the back is getting limited. It's been a great 6.5 years of ownership
