$2,200 is a bit steep. Last time I bought 4" 316 stainless it cost me $45-50 each bend. Exhausts would be 304 grade. I could get a twin 3" done for under $2,000.

where did u get that price?

yes ive been talking to duncan about becoming a sau nsw member - i have the forms, just need to pull my finger out

im not sure what they are, could be xforce or hks, how can i tell? could be hks to match the rest of the hks system, fark knows!

i called liverpool exhaust, custom 3inchfront pipes to merge into 4 inch all the way to rear is as follows:

- mild steel with ceramic coating (the whole thing) = 4k

- s/s (the whole thing) = $4400

- 4inch mild without front pipes = $2200 (westside is the same @ $2200 but its s/s)

he recommends i go mild steel with ceramic coating but to coat the entire thing is a bit of overkill, thoughts?

apparentely mild steel is more flexible for knocks & bumps, more suited for our great aust roads!

Well there would be a brand name stamped on it somewhere, i guess thats the only way to tell

Well, forget liverpool exhausts then, for 4k id rather do the gearbox (well, most of it)

No, it's definitely not my car - it only made 411rwkw on 16 psi a few years ago now

:(

Oh, and it's the Bells Line Of Rd Cruise, not Putty Rd (which is end of year). Same meet point though.

I'm bringing my rb30 to the cruise....marko if I can get a day off on saturday you can too. just bring the forms with you.

ok - i need to apply for leave with my wife & i 'should' be there...on a more serious note, my mother in law had a quadruple heart bypass on monday & she will be in ICU for another week, problem is that they dont allow any kids under 16 yrs of age in ICU which leads to the high possibility of daddy babysitting our 6mth old baby

lol...he just bought mine. Hehe...so Charlie...you planning to live on a diet of Smoked Stevo at your next track meet?

paul - sorry mate, i'll call u tomorrow

next project for my car is to improve braking power.

im running factory brakes & have been informed that these are quite good when setup right, so im getting the discs machined, replacing brake fluid with motul & running 'race brakes' pads all around (race brakes is the actual brand).

i had this setup in my previous gtr and was very happy with them (apart from when they squealed like crazy which sounds racey anyway lol & crap braking power when cold).

i definitely need to do this as its very dangerous with the power its running - currently up on stands & ive removed the calipers/discs & dropped the fluid

I run DS2500 pads on the front of my 32 (with 324mm rotors) and I've found them to be a really good street/track pad (not cheap though), they are a step down from the full blown race pads and as such work better at lower temps.

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Duncan · Posted

      yeah I've never understood that either.... And to answer an earlier question, I write the date on open bottles and throw them if more than 12 months old (which they almost always are, because I don't need to bleed them unless I'm changing lines/calipers etc in between)

      Nah, the one that hit the boot was a big steel locker, around 6 foot height, 4 foot wide and 2 foot deep, empty it weighs about 15kg and had about that amount of stuff in it The photo didn't give a good representation of the actual damage, the large ding on the passenger side was about a inch deep, the one on the driver was about 1/2 inch deep, right on the curve, where the inner boot frame doesn't let you get behind it with a dolly Basically the same issue with getting behind the damage on the centre of the boot We could have filled it all with bog, but my OCD would be triggered every time I looked at it, knowing what hides beneath  As for the locker, I did get the shits with it and put it in the scap metal bin, but, I pulled it out and it is now sitting in the garage at home full of car servicing stuff, cleaning gear and random tools, it's going to pay for it's indiscretions

      Whilst I typically don't cheap out on things, if I can save some money, like $1000, on a clean straight panel, that gives me $1000 to spend on other stuff, basically free money really 🤔 🤣

      Is the toolbox that damaged the boot seal the same item that fell on the car during the storm a while back?

      Who are you to deny yourself? I’ve said this many times to myself and apart from getting what I really want, I go quiet for a while whilst working out what I just did to my savings and how will I afford what it cost, then, next payday…
