Chat to STR8E180 on ns.com he can custom fabricate alot of stuff.. Although I don't know if you'll get much out of a stainless intake pipe on a N/A? Except maybe sound..

thats wat its for cause there a box on the side of hte intake pipe which is a resonator/muffler/watever other people called it. it will give me more intake noise with just the straight pipe inot the plenum

i have an alloy pipe,, with cold air box. thats up for sale.. im in NZ though..

i realised its time i sold the NA and put a turbo in there instead

would you jus sell the pipe and send it over??

where abouts you located in sydney dyken? .. i could weld up an intake pipe for you in stainless

or you could go to a local exhaust shop and get them to make it up

haha thanks.. dont remember when i would have been over that way with my car.. unless on a big cruise.

well im from out past richmond so about 1hour drive away from you .. get an exhaust place to give you a quote on the intake pipe, if they want alot, then let me know.

ill goto 2 places tomorrow and get prices.. if you can do the job without seeing the car and send the pipe even better and ill transfer money via bank deposit i'de rather give money to a skyline owner than anyone

dont know anyone with an NA r33 so i couldnt make it without seeing the car

hey when mine was na i just used the standard turbo intake manifold section worked really well attached the air flow meter and then a pod, easy as to do, if you wanted to know how to make one up "craved" just need to build up a pipe that goes from your throttle body and come over the top of the engine down into a section that will bolt up to the air flow meter in the exact spot where the turbo one sits, and then weld the 2 pipes i think it is, 1 for the head gass realease and the other that i think from memory goes and bypasses the manifold and on to the idle control valve thing\y

i havent been able to yet see my local exhaust shop..

what would be best suited for this, stainless steel or aluminium, because my freinds went to the same place i am going to goto and he cannot weld aluminium.

i dont really want to use parts from another skyline i would much prefer a new one made from scratch..

[Craved]

unarmed_skyline was talking about whats needed to make one from scratch

he is basically saying that the std airbox is in the same place for N/A and Turbo .. same goes for the TB

Alloy is lighter - harder to maintain the same surface finish without working on it

stainless is heavier - but once you install it it will look the same after time

[unarmed_skyline]

mild steel is sorta a happy medium with strengh, weldability and defonatly has good durability, weight is ok but i dont think it is the best for heat transfer, out of your two i would take stainless, aluminium will melt when trying to weld it, i think you can only use a tig welder on it and still can have troubles really needs to be done by a professional but ifg your going to an exhaust joint they will use either stainless or mild steel.

ask in the fabricatinon section what material might be the best,, some of the members looking in there might know some good info, spech some specs on what will be the best to keep the temps down,

[Craved]

Alloy can be mig'd - needs a new liner in the MIG (teflon), and Argon gas - mainly TIG'd though

Welding is Melting the metal .. so of course alloy melts

Mild steel needs to be coated/painted or it rusts - other 2 wont.

temps down is a tough one ... stainless retains heat more than alloy , but once hot alloy will cool down quicker .. best to keep it here as the fabrication section is for how to do something yourself, not generic questions like this.

stick with alloy or stainless.. make your choice according to the look your after (rest seems a bit of over thinking )

like this mate ?

u can come down to my house if u wanna get measurements its pretty easy...

u shuld take it to st george mufflers to shaun in peaky industrial area he will sort u out
