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.

    • It's kind of interesting - They definitely do builds that split the difference between what they like and what will generate views and engagement. The NC Platform always surprises everyone in a good way, in an uncomfortably good way some may say. They could throw a LS in there and arguably have the best (and best performing) car of the entire stable. But that isn't necessarily what draws views, because people viewing don't want to accept the vegetables of a LS NC MX5 being a superior vehicle in every way (including fun) than a RB26 240Z. This is also why there's not a lot of content about the GR Yaris (on the web in general). They're too good, yet 'only a Yaris' The community doesn't want certain cars to be as good as they are - to beat their hero cars, and I believe the NC MX5 is absolutely one of those cars.
    • Yeah - My key still does the chime thing. I followed the procedure but it didn't activate on the (identical) third set of keyfob that I had. I vaguely remember the alarm saying you can only pair two keys with it. Now that I've dug it up, it appears that you very much can pair keyfobs to the alarm system. (which are the fobs I use to unlock the car). I have successfully diverted the thread and can probably not use the OEM keyfob ever again unless I use the aftermarket alarm and attempt to pair the OEM keyfob to it. Which might just work, or not :D. I definitely used the nissan method and not the aftermarket alarm method.
    • What makes it worse is that Nissan made keys in the same style, for example R34 and Stagea, but they work at different frequencies or something like that. So they look the same but the remotes are not interchangeable. I learned that from some guy selling aftermarket blank keys.
    • Does your door chime work when you have the key in the lock and open the door? I've had that disabled because it's f**king annoying and it is one thing that messes with the pairing. Because now the car doesn't detect key in ignition anymore and the slide-key-in-and-out sequence does not trigger the pairing mode anymore. The service manual has a section on the various bits involved in doing the syncing. I presume it'll be similar between Stagea and R34.
    • Agree, but meh, I think is is based more on LOLS than actually apples to apples, like, who would have thunk a turbo 4 cylinder would not beat a NA 4 cylinder  I think with just basic N/A mods, like a exhaust and tune, it would be equal to the Mini in its current form, maybe I know my current 2.5 would "chop the mini" as the midrange now has a night and day difference in power delivery compared to the tuned 2.0, by around 20kwatw and 30nm from around 2k rpm "ish"....... I'm kinda hoping that they do a N/A build, either with the MZR 2.0 or with whatever they decide to use If I recall correctly they did talk about K swapping one a while ago
