Soon to come i'm goin to be making steam pipe manifolds mainly to suit Rb 25/26 and sr20 

just thought i'd post up a pic of my quick job on the dropsaw which i made to give my machine shop an idea of  how i want the pipes for my merge collectors machined

Noice! How did you go about welding the otherside? Got some more piccies?

other side was just migged.. thats the only pic i took of that one as it was just quickly cut shut and migged so i could explain to my engineering shop how i needed the pieces machined so that i could make the perfect collector to go onto my manifolds that i'm goin to be making and selling to suit rb and sr range of motors, next ones i put up will be Tigged and providing the engineering shop gets it right... they will be perfect :) 

what did you use to hold the pipe while you cut it? i got this problem at work, the way the pipe needs to be clamped is beyond the capabilities of the machine. 4" grinder ftmfl :)

that was just on a drop saw... held by hand and "guesstimating" the angles, i removed the clamping setup to do those...

oh haha, yeah im not that game, we've got a brobo and a big f*ck off bandsaw, not keen on hand holding pipe under either haha

was about a meter long piece of pipe.. cut both ends, than cut them off and do the same thing.. f**k holding a short piece of pipe while cutting it on the drop saw

    • Hi All, I have a 32 GTR, with coilovers, hicas lock bar, exhaust and pod filters. Just after suggestions on where to begin with engine/power output mods without breaking the bank. Thanks in advance. 
    • I’ve been considering one of these screens too, but I've heard mixed reviews about the software responsiveness. Some say it's great, while others mention lag issues. Before pulling the trigger, I'd check out a few recent user experiences to see if the latest models have improved.
    • Kaizo Industries put a VIN plate over where the Nissan plate would go. It was part of how they broke the law and attracted feds going after them.
    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?
