I try to post good fun stuff other than gtr action for people to enjoy! I live a 100mph life style and Wild stuff tends to happen often lol

Stuff like this. We like to smash the trucks through the Bush from time to time. Lol broken track bar the dodge gets a beating

funny way for double wishbone or strut suspension to work.....or is that borrowed from a horse and cart?

if they make it i will brake it. although that cummins motor is unkillable

Of course this shows up right when we are done everything and used the oem intercooler for now. Looks like it bolts to the stock location and we won’t have to change much to the piping hopefully.

i gotta say the plasmaman stuff is to me top notch. even comparing the intake manifolds to hypertune and what not i feel like the plasmaman stuff is untouchable. came packaged ready for war.

Well mates you have seen a million downpipes I’m sure but here’s my buddies stab at a nice 4” 304 stainless full exhaust. Used all vibrant stuff highly recommended. Cheers hope you guys approve! Lots of hours in making it look right in our eyes and having the welds look real nice.

That’s the exhaust we are mating it too. And what the downpipe started as. Rashid had ithe exhaust done before with the twins.

Little tight with the big downpipe but this is going to Loop right back down and chuck the screamer straight to the ground. I’m lucky to have a friend that can make all this work. Humbling experience!

I ordered it ages ago I’m not using it we had a laugh and threw it on and may throw it on at car shows wat ever. I actually do like the way it looks couldn’t care less what people think really. Our finished intake will be posted in a bit. K and n filter to few pie cuts. Take a chill pill mate Jesus didn’t do anything to you lol.

Man, I feel like every second post I make in here is explaining that my previous post was good natured, so perhaps my brand of online commentary isn't all that welcome. No problem.

 

I'm just a guy on the internet man, don't need to defend yourself to me. As I said before, you do you.

What are you doing for thermal protection mate, shits gonna get real hot

my neck of the woods an average day is about 10-15 degrees its very cold here cooling is rarely an issue. I'm running a new viscous  fan with a larger custom rad. nothing to crazy mate. 

we are running a ton of safety features and extra sensors through the haltech too, so we will have alot of protection from the tuning side of things as well! gotta protect the investment lol.

I'm talking about the exhaust/turbine housing and dump/screamer pipe

That's looks like bonnet and firewall paint melting stuff

I had a highmounted old TO4ZE years ago, the heat coming off that was intense, even ceramic coating didn't keep it in check 

I recommend some form of beanie for the exhaust housing and some form of lagging/wrapping for the dump and screamer at least

hey mate thats good advice. i know that we are laying tape on that strut tower i ordered some special heat stuff, also a turbo blanket from precision. as well i got some of that flame resistant 12an sleeves for all my oil lines. trying not to cut any corners at all. by the way need 12 an sleeves to fit 10an line. the 10an sleeves are too tight for 10an braided.  cheers mate thanks again

    • We just disconnected the vacuum line if I remember correctly, booster is still there. Is there a rebuild solution for the booster or a different adapter that will work for GTR chassis?
    • Yeah 4wd (boosted) has a recess in the firewall for the booster, and 2wd is flat - the example in the link shows the flat surface. When you deleted the booster, did you just attach the factory slave cylinder directly to the recess in the firewall with no adaption?  
    • Yes, but no. You need to keep the mating surfaces bare (ie the flat faces where the caliper and upright pads touch the dogbone) and also the internal threads will remain bare (unless there are no internal threads - do they use nuts on all the bolts?). So you can slow down obvious external corrosion, but not all of it. Anodising would be required to provide decent protection to the alloy, but I'm not actually sure if you should anodise something that is all about the strength. Anodising does reduce strength significantly. Like, up to 50% on some alloys for high thickness coating.
    • Thanks   does painting on aluminium work or stop them from corroding?
    • 'Sgot nothing to do with them being Japanese. The climate in the north of Japan has similarities to the UK - the cars are made in the knowledge that they have snow and salt, and they rot there. Cars made in the US rot like buggery in the US. British cars have always rotted regardless of the weather. They will rot indoors in a climate controlled bubble! The brackets are not unsafe yet, but they will get that way. They may well corrode where the bolt threads are in contact and the bolts could just jump out without warning.
