It's nearly impossible to find the materials, otherwise any tig welder could do it.

I know AM Performance do a bit of Ti work, but I am yet to find anyone who can source tube locally. Flat sheet yes, but then it needs to be rolled and seam welded.

Alloy is lighter, cheaper and much easier to work with, for exhausts and intakes.

Try titanium joe in the states

I was gonna buy some 4" tube to have made a intake pipe for my turbo, in lobster back

Be prepared to pay a hefty amount for it though,

in regards to alloy for exhausts, is it capable of coping with the heat/cycles?

Yep, plenty of track cars using it for weight saving, but it's much more common in the US.

Personally I would only use it for a cat back or diff back.

I try to keep a little bit of titanium in 2.5 inch and 3 inch in Stock

And wtf alloy for exhaust is shit not only does it sound rubbish but it's not. Lighter kilo for kilo it is but You do titanium thin because of its strength it gives you 1 mill in alloy would most likely bow with the heat rofl so you would need to go 2 mm minimum I'd imagine

      Nismo copper mix twin “pull” pedal height engagement

      By ck_chino · Posted

      Installed  Nismo coppermix twin competition spec last year in my bnr32 with pull trans with Oem slave cylinder. The point at where the clutch disengages/enages is right at the top of the clutch pedal, meaning I barely have to push the pedal down for the clutch to be disengaged.  You guys that have the same combo are you experiencing this high pedal bite point??   Secondly I’d like to have the disengagement point lower meaning I have to push the pedal more(further not effort)for it to be disengaged.  I’m thinking to use a Nismo big operating cylinder(bigger bore at 13/16 vs Oem 3/4) which will require more pedal stroke to get the equivalent movement at the clutch fork. But I see Nismo web site says not to mix these 2 as the Nismo big operating cylinder doesn’t have enough stroke to disengage??? Any folks run both the coppermix twin pull with Nismo cylinder??    Thanks in advance for the replies but prefer only guys with pull clutches to respond. thanks

      Fake ARP bolts?

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      I wonder if there is much to tell without knowing where the bolts where bought from. If it comes from Amazon or similar all bets are off. Can't trust them. And I fear not everybody knows that. Wasn't it @TurboTapin who ended up with the fake fuel lines recently? The submersible ones which very much weren't submersible at all. It kind of applies to everything nowadays. Doesn't matter if it's hardware or electronics. The fancy camera might have internals swapped out for cheap knockoffs. The hard drive will report a certain size but not actually be able to write it all. Shit like that. A bit depressing but the reality is you really have to be weary of where and how you buy stuff
