Yes that is what I mean. I don't understand why it is that uncommon as most information on the topic says that it's a good way to reduce the length of the inlet tract as having the plenum modified to face forward affects that incoming air's distribution amongst the cylinders.

yes thats correct but i havent seen any kits with it so i assume its custom and hence must be made up and therefore not often for sale - but hey we can hope, have you got the rest of the piping? do you know what material u r after - mild, stainless, aluminium?

btw you might recall I grabbed one of those rb20 eproms from u a while ago, havent hooked it up yet, waiting to get another ecu to play around with...

I have this setup on my R32. I got it custom made on the Gold coast. Any reputable fabricator should only take a day or two to make it for you but they will need your car. one other thing, I had to relocate my pcv.

Best bet..go down to a place like Liverpool Exhaust and grab some mild steel elbows. Grab a 180deg bend, and 3 x 90 deg bends all in 2.5" (2 will do it but better be safe then sure) Should cost about $80 all up.

Then bury yourself in the garage for 6 hours cutting and trial fitting. Once your done run down to local boilermaker/welder and get it welded up for a case of beer:)

So for max $150 you can get the pipe made up exactly how you want it:) And ceramic coating will cost about $60 on top of that...or you can paint it etc etc for cheaper.

Just be sure that if you go stainless that you have the right tools for cutting it etc, its much harder to work with then mild steel bends.

Otherwise your up for a custom farication, and you will be up for at least 4 hours labour + materials.:) ie more like $300 and then you have to be sure that they will ensure the fit clears the oil filler cap, your strut brace, breather hoses etc etc.

Ahh, Cheers for that Troy

I need to make a new retun pipe for my new GTR bonnet to go on.

The old bonnet needed some of the reinforcement chopped to close the bonnet with the pipe going over the radiator, then up the j - pipe...I dont wanna chop the aluminium :D

Ive got a new project now :D

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
