Awsome, if thats the case I'll marry you and have your babies :P

Gotta beat paying $400+ for a set or the quote for $1500 custom made. I wasn't sure if the patrol headers would work.

Cheers Dan

You may be able to call Stewart Wilkins Motorsport to see if the have a second hand set about, He is in Syd.

the shortening was due to the patrol having the engine mounted higher because of the front diff and 4x4 stuff. the shortening and welding etc is a no-brainer, cost me $50 at an exhasut shop

I am not useing mine though, as im turbo'ing it. I dont really want to sell them as I wanted to put them on a 2nd car oneday...

the sound,,, oh the sound

You the man :P

Sent an email off to SW Motorsport last night and they have a set of extractors off an L6 from a rally car (240k?) will call to confirm.

Best bit is there a $100 so I think I owe you a flange for your dump pipe if your keen? let me know mate :D

Cheers lads

dude they will still fit!

240z 260z 280zx patrol L28e Laurel Gloria HR30 280c 260c

all have the same exhaust flange, some round prot some squarish.

all will bolt on, may need MINOR mods to the '2' section of the '3-2-1' theme

grab em!

Seriously I wouldn't be bothered with chopping and welding. Just buy these they're well priced and made to fit.

If cash wasn't a problem I'd have got a set of these through the local exhaust shop, $400 is too much at the moment, car's getting paint shortly :bunny: . So second hand is my only option at the moment. Got some mods in mind for the exhaust anyway.

MAG86: Finished this off at TAFE today,

11mm thick, 4 holes at 9mm for M8x1.25 or can push them out to 11 for M10x1.5 studs/bolts depends what you need.

What size dump pipe are you planing on using? 54mm is less then 2.25 inch for the outlet, I can probably strech it to fit 2.50 inch pipe?

If you can get the rest of the measurments (measurements from center lines would be best) a mate at work can write a program for a CNC mill to chop them out.

i will get more info from work tomorrow. i got AutoCAD 2010 loading up right now...

But geez that looks frikin GREAT. they are VERY hard to find too...thanks for helping out!

54mm is fine, as the dump will flare out from there(plus the hole on the rear housing cover is 54mm too)

If you know the outside diameter of the pipe I can counter bore the flange 2/3rds of the way through so pipe sits inside it, instead of just being welded to the end of the pipe. Makes it a bit stronger I think, or send us your details and I'll chuck it in the post if it's all good :bunny:

Just wondering...

Did you manage to get some extractors? What/where did you buy?

JH

No luck yet mate, still searching ebay every couple of days waiting for something cheap to pop-up. Will probably end up modding 240z ones they seem to come up for sale a bit more often.

Cheers

You crazy kids and your extractors. i had to pay the full quoted price to have less noise... less attention bcos im still on silly p's. O_o

BUT... the patrol headers sound a little too good to be true.. now to hunt for some money to waste. :D

    • Yes, me too!!!!  I need to find a something that has all the abbreviations for what these cars have LOL
    • Dang.....  that is some good info.  Thank you.    Yes, I plan to do some troubleshooting before I actually just throw parts at it.  I was doing some investigating on parts, just to get a head start, if wiring and stuff all looked good.
    • No worries, now that I'm closer to 70yo than not, this sort of stuff will one day be 'lost knowledge'... and even now, I wonder just how many folks out there have the Kent-Moore J34291 shim setting tool set to set end clearances rebuilding these...but right the now, there's less and less hard parts available, and you'll be headed to the wreckers to buy a donor box if it's worn out...(or pay a shop to do exactly the same thing). In a way, it's fortunate the 4-speed was so popular, because there's still heaps of consumables (banners kits, bearings & plates etc) around ~ these early 5-speeds weren't exactly that prevalent, so there's not quite as much about for them... but it's a race between perceived demand for these parts, versus how much they fetch at the shredder for recycling purposes...
    • I hope one day I can do it like you. Your engine looks great.
    • If there's nothing else I can do I'll probably do something like that Someone on the internet said that ca20s and ca18 engine blocks are the same and that you can use a ca20 engine block and put ca18det parts to make a ca20det Do you think this is possible or will it damage the engine?
