Hi All,

Just wondering who here or knows of anyone that is able to custom make FMIC piping in aluminium.

I own a S13 with a RB motor in it and no one makes off the shelf FMIC Kits, so I am wondering if anyone knows workshops that provide such services and at a reasonable price around Sydney.

I've been quoted $1000 by Fussy's , $800 by ST8E180 for just aluminium which I believe is pricey considering off the shelf piping kits go for $250. I thought about mating a SR20DET kit and a RB25DET kit together, but I just don't have the time to do it and chances of it not fitting properly is quite high.

If anyone is able to provide such service or recommend a workshop that will do it at a reasonable price that would be appreciated.

The reason why I am redoing my piping work is because the previous owner attempted a 'home" job and it just looks like a dead rats connected to each other and so its in mild steel and there's rust appearing.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Johnny

all sorts of custom work, piping would be too easy for em :) specialise in custom exhausts, but intercooler piping should be a breeze...

buy $250 sr cooler piping so u get the bits that get in the engine bay after that you should be able to use a few 90 and 45 bends to make it fit.

or,

take all you piping off, take it to a powder coater and get him to blast and coat it. will look like brand new and u know it already fits.

YEAH, dont for a second think that you will get someone to spend 6 hours and about 200 dollars worth of raw bends etc etc to do it for less than 700. just very time consuming.

oh and btw. ally is the easist to do it in. id offer my services but im flat out at the moment.

yesterday was the first time my whole engine bay has been together

sorry for the shit pics, wait for the magazine to come out to see better ones :P

sonny made the

i've heard good things about sonny too.

but either way you'll be paying more than 700+ for custom work of any kind of metal. labour aint cheap.

give westside mufflers in padstow a call. they do alot of custom piping work. i send all of my welding jobs to them.

    • yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.
    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
