lol as old as this thread is i had to reply

this is some of the most funny shit i have been reading for ages.

there realy is some drop kicks in the car scene. an OXY!!!!! wtf are you on about.

springs are $150 a pair so for the sake of $300 you would rather an oxy!

how the hell did you afford an r33 in the first place? did your mum buy it for you?

its sad shit like this that make the performance scene look so bad to the coppers.

seriously. sell the skyline mate and buy a hyundai. you suit it.

Its equally as sad that you dig up such an old thread to post such a pointless reply just so you can flame another forum member to make yourself feel better because mummy didnt hug you enough when u were a lil boy.

And this is only your second post on the forums! Looks like your going to a wonderful contribution to site :D

wtf was the point in you posting?

Hey just curious

I was thinking instead of buying lowered king springs etc because i want a custom height for my car, of just heating up the springs with an oxy accetelene blow torch.

Ive done this previously on my vn commy couple years back :miner:

Ive got a r33 series 1 1993 skyline with standard suspension

What do youse think? And im on a very tight budget haha :P

cheers

I know it's old post, but anyway... all you gonna end up is a weirdly uneven ride height, like in my case... My car is about 2cm lower on drivers side compared to passenger side. and I didn't do it on purpose, just shit old worn out springs.... I had to order custom made new stock height springs because you can't find new ones anywhere

by heating up the springs and allowing them to cool on there own will be like normalizing

this will lower the car but it will also soften the springs and they will be less stiff

my suggestion is buy some springs or cut the original ones

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      But there's the archetype for the name plate! Here's my view on that stupid TÜV ruleset. Buy a brand name aftermarket piece of equipment. In this case, the Mines front pipe we're talking about. Get it TÜV certified on the car. Damage the underside of it, say on a speed bump. Cut out the damaged section, replace with fresh metal. (For the sake of the argument only), continue doing that to the whole pipe until it is all gone, replaced with new metal. Is this grandfather's axe still the same front pipe? The design hasn't changed (much). The pipe walls are in the same places. The flanges are in the same places. It is functionally identical. How does this differ from a pipe that is ever so slightly different in fabrication (ie the number of welds in it, a few mm here and there in terms of where the pipes run, are joined, etc)? Anyone with 0.5% of a brain can see that there is absolutely no way that the performance (power, environmental aspects, noise, etc etc) of it can be any different than the genuine Mines pipe. Maybe even Mines made 2 versions of this design, with the same differences. How would anyone (say a TÜV inspector) ever be able to differentiate between them? And yet, they are so bloody anally retentive about this stuff. Mad. How upset would they be if you had the wrong spring washers on the flanges?

      By Rezz · Posted

      After a fairly extensive search using Japanese terms and checking Minkara etc, I couldn't find anything even close to your front pipe in the photos. I'm no expert but the two pipes merge really close to the flange connected to the catalytic converter which is rather unique from what I've seen, which makes me think it's more than likely a custom front pipe. The welds and 'more pipe sections than usual for a brand name pipe' makes it seem like a custom one.  Here's some photos of an old Mine's front pipe. You can see that it's just 4 pipe sections as opposed to 6, and arguably looks more like a 'production' front pipe:
