Ok for those of you that stuck to a twin turbo set up I'm after some info on what piping you all have!

I'm going to be fitting a new intercooler in the not too distant future and I'm going to change all my old crusty pipes/hoses at the same time.

Now I'm currently looking at a trust cooler and I know there is a matching piping kit to get for it. What I need to know is what other kit/parts to buy as I want to keep the "Twin turbo" pipe.

To make it clearer I have circled some of the parts I need in this picture. Currently mine are all stock.

Kat,

I just replaced the top hose in your picture with a no-name 45 degree sillicon elbow. Just found one the right inside diameter and trimmed both ends down to size.

The two lower pipes look like HKS? You'd be better off keeping those hard pipes, maybe just replace the sillicon joiners if they are getting old.

Cheers,

John

Sorry Kat, didn't look hard enough.

Same still goes for the smaller top sillicon bend, from memory the HKS kits (4 hard pipes, 8 sillicon joiners + clamps) were around the $700 mark. Got mine from Brissy, can try and find the sellers name if you like, or there's always Nengun or Jessie Streeter.

I didn't replace the larger sillicon pipe on the back turbo intake, but there is probably a universal pipe around that would fit.

Just to clarify, this isn't my engine this is an example with the actual hoses I'm after :cool:

I have the original shitty black one that came on the car!

Yeah if you wouldn't mind letting me know where that'd be awesome.

It's more those black bendy pipes that attach to where my AFM's used to be and the black one next to it.

I've been looking for kits but haven't been able to find the exact type.

HKS hard pipe kit from Brisvegas:

That kit seems to be discontinued on Nengun.

They also make a Premium Suction kit for some of the intake pipes, but don't see a 32 version listed.....

I have an HKS hard piping kit, should have showed you last Sunday! It made the stock airbox fun to fit.

Heaps of my car was/is HKS. Turbos are no longer, the old HKS foam pods killed them! I think the Japanese bloke who used to own it like that brand!

Can you send me a pic?

Oooooh that's nasty! I used to have those old HKS foam pods too but got the Apexi ones on to replace them quick smart.

I'll have to take one. Sure :P .

Yeah the previous owner figured not changing the foam pods for 5 years was a good idea, by the time I got the standard airbox and new K&N filter on it was too late :P .

Thanks!

EXACTLY the same with mine! They were almost totally disintegrated in little peices!

My car never came with a stock airbox and by the time it gets its next mods it will be doing over that making it irrelevant anyway.

Thanks to those that helped, I think I have what I need now. Big thanks JD for setting me straight!

      UniClutch

      Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise

      Was that Australia Delivered Duncan? Does it have siren etc?   I used to have remote start on an old 32 two decades ago, it was a cool feature. I used to wake up early in winter for work. Start it and by the time i was out the door a few minutes later the engine was warmed up and the heaters had the car toasty. It was great.    I don’t mine the ambience lighting.  I drive a western star and it has footwell lights and ambient lighting and it’s great! From the pics of seen of them installed in a skyline I think it’s a nice touch

      re the security system, my Fuga/Q70 has the factory option where the puddle lights in the mirrors turn on when the prox key is detected, it was clearly dealer fitted and has a switch in the lower dash to disable it....it didn't have remote start but TBH I don't really miss that, I had it in the Stagea originally but never used it....we don't often have to warm the car up in the snow before we get in for Australia. And the Fuga also has the illuminated footwells, sounds like a useless feature but I actually quite like the indirect light within the car, it was a nice addition
