Just dont run the car any more with that pipe on there and cross your fingers it hasnt made its way into the engine.

As for the pipe you will have to contact places like Just Jap but from memory they wont seperate pipes from kits so would have to buy the whole thing.

I would get the current pipe repaired AND modified so it sits lower and this doesnt happen again.

Try a place like Embelton engineering

well the car still runs so should be orite u rekon?? What stores can i get this pipe from? super cheap didnt have it..

Highly doubt any regular stores will have it. Autoworx (or similar places) maybe will have a kit, but whether they'll separate the pipe from the kit at a decent price is another question.

My old pipe is still here if you want it, should be pretty easy to fit, and then you can put something between the bonnet and pipe to stop it wearing.

As said above, mounting it lower would be the best option, though you'll need to cut your radiator fan back a bit to do that.

Also, by the sounds of it you car should be alright, here's hoping that the broken bit didn't go in. You could always take apart the intake manifold and all that to make sure. But I suppose once you get a new pipe on then you'll know if there are any issues.

      Powder coating wheels

      Yeah. I believe the fear of annealing the alloy and weakening it, Every online discussion has someone saying it's bad and potentially a risk when powder coating forged wheels.

      I'm interested if anyone agrees with what you've said, and can give a good reason. Temperature of powder coating should be below any temperature you'd use to alter the wheel structure.  Powder coat typically 200 to 250. Annealing if that's what people are claiming would be occuring, starts at 300, and depending on the alloy, can need even up at 400+.   That's the only part I can think of that could cause an issue that people are believing it's from the rim losing hardness and becoming too soft.

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Negative probe should be on the cars chassis. Positive on the wire.   Start as said above by unplugging everything (unplug the lights, and switches. Now at the switch, there is a wire from the fuse, to the switch, so out your positive on that terminal. It should read open circuit. If it reads something, especially a stupid low value, the short is somewhere between the fuse and the switch. If that's fine, now put the positive probe on the wire that goes to the headlight (at the switch plug). If it reads stupid low, the fault is from the switch, to the headlight.   Another quick test, is take the whole LED light setup from the left, and plug it into the right side, does it still blow the fuse? If you put the right hand side led light setup on the left hand side wiring, does the left hand side wiring now blow?  If the blowing fuse swaps from right to left doing this, your LED lights are the issue.

      Anyone know if it's a problem to powder coat forged alloy wheel centers (Rays/Volk GT-C). some say it's bad and can damage the alloy, some say it's not a problem.

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By kevboost7 · Posted

      Hey guys, I'm reviving an old post but I'm finally getting around to working on this now. I removed the battery to get a better look at the wires and i traced the wires from the headlight to the fuse box in the engine bay, but the wiring looks fine? The wiring for the R/H headlight is 3 wires and then is bundled up with the large diameter wire that goes underneath the fuse box. I didn't take it apart yet. I know you said that its a short circuit somewhere between the fuse box and the headlight. But could it be the headlight switch on the dash? Also, i pulled out my multi-meter and set it on the Ohms, but i'm not sure where to put the negative probe and the positive probe.
