pretty good if you dont mind dealing with a grumpy old man :(

I was thinking of calling Belconnen exhaust and automotive as a few family friends have had theirs done there but i wanna make sure i'm getting the best value... thanks for the advice guys!!!

You have a V35, buy a Japanese exhaust off the shelf (Trust, HKS, Tanabe etc.) through someone like Trojan Motorsport - cheaper and better quality than getting one made up. :D

My exhaust was done by Fyshwick Exhaust. The workmanship was great. They also did my intercooler piping, and routed it exactly the way I told them not to...

I remember that... I dont know what they were smoking when they put that together :P

They said there was no other way to route it. Immediately following that we cut up the piping ourselves and routed it the way I actually wanted it, without changing anything on the car and using no extra piping except for having to buy 1 donut of pipe.

When we mounted the intercooler we left enough room behind it to run the piping through, but the Fyshwick guy ran it under the front of the car (in front of the tow points, probably wouldn't have passed rego) where it would have been smashed the first time I got too close to anything like a kerb. And the pipe was just hanging there with nothing except the joiners to the other pipe sections holding it. After we finished it was a LOT more secure.

Bear in mind this was over 5 years ago, things change, and as I said, the exhaust itself was great.

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
