Due to the amount of interest in these front pipes on the forum i thought i would organise a group buy.

For this to go ahead we need the following:

Minimum 5 sets

50% deposit prior to order (other 50% paid when goods are picked up)

The price for these will be $1,100 delivered to Sydney all taxes/shipping etc included. For people outside the Sydney area that cannot pickup the only additional charge will be shipping from Sydney to you.

Please bear in mind that while internet companies may quote a cheaper price for these once you include shipping costs and taxes they are condsiderably more expensive to the tune of $1,400 to $1,500 by the time they are here.

I will leave this open for people until the end of this month (June) for people to express interest, if there is not 5 people willing to pay a deposit on 30 June the buy will not go ahead.

This group buy has been made possible buy Advan Performance so you are buying from a reputable company in Australia that will provide receipts.

Here is a pic of the front pipes but please note this is only half the front the pipes.... the rear piece is not pictured in this pic. If someone wants pics of the complete pipes post here and i will get some.

Andrea, Richard here. we have met a couple of times at WSID and weekend before last at Advan (I drive a gunmetal 32GTR).

hmm, that really is a good price for those delivered, considering how much they are even when buying from a backyard net business

ATM I am just tossing up between going Big Single, or sticking with low mount twins. If I decide to stick with twins I think I may get these to keep me happy in the mean time. Would it be too much trouble to get a fitting price from Advan for us?

Thanks,

Richard

Hi Richard :D

I have tried to get the best possible price for them and i think i have. Better than any internet backyard company i have found.

I am in the same situation as you deciding if i should stick with twins or go for the single, it's a tough choice :confused: I really love these pipes and if i get a set i think i will cry if i ever scrape them on a speed hump.

I will get an price estimate on fitment for everyone as a guide. Because the turbos have to come off there will be a few hours involved.

yeah, it is a very nice price.

That would be great on fitting estimate :D

They certainly are the nicest looking GTR dumps/fronts I've ever seen.

Cheers,

Richard

I have had requests for details of what you get so here is a pic of the complete system, nothing else is required.

Remember only 50% ($550) is required in a months time and the rest after the goods arrive which would be approx 3-4 weeks after order is placed so it's the perfect way to spend your tax refund cheque :O

:wavey:

:)

I was just wondering if you had any word yet on a fitting estimate? Doesn't have to be a firm price for us to beat them about the head with, just an estimate would be fine :D

Thanks.

Ok, Due to the fact that the turbos have to come off to fit dump pipes on a GTR there is quite a bit of labour involved unfortunatly as well as costs of coolant etc due to the turbos coming off. So, you would be looking at a cost of approx $700 fitment including coolant etc. I have no idea how that compares to other shops though.

that seem reasonably fair if the turbos have to be removed. If that's the case it would definately be at least a whole days labour.

I will consider what to do... perhaps it may be worthwhile to spend another few K and get turbos at the same time...

Thanks for chasing that up. I'll have a think and let you know before the deadline.

While your doing to turbos, its probably worth doing the manifolds ... :)

Its a shit of a job to change the dump pipes, but its quite possible for the home mechanic over a few days if you feel like saving the cash.

LW.

Will these bolt onto the standard R32 GTR turbos ? How about the cat at the other end? If so put me down for a set - should be in perfect time for my next trip out to Racepace.

Andrea, you certainly are tempting me. I have been thinking about going to big single route, purely because I love the sound of an external wastegate. but my head tells me i'll be better off with a set of 2530s or similar.

I will get back to you before your deadline.

thanks.

No problem Richard, If yourself an lwells decide to purchase then we only need one more for it to go ahead, no pressure or anything lol :jk:

I too love the sound of an external gate but the power that can be made from smallish twins with the right setup is hard to look past, the legalities of the screamer is what worries me.

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
