Hey guys im installing a high mount turbo and and front facing plenum and need a place to make up custom intercooler piping, custom air intake, and a 3.5inch dump/front, i have a 3.5inch cat and need from the cat to the resonator to be replace from 3inch to 3.5inch as stainless steel

need a good performance shop SOR that can do a good job at a reasonable price

I have rang around abit but been quoted some stupid quotes... have tried exhaust torque in bibra lake, but they kept giving me quotes on the whole exhaust system, gave up tryin to explain i only need parts of it made, called cypher but they want to look at the car before they will quote a price which is abit hard when it needs to be toed =P also tried top racing..

most of these places have quoted in the 2.5-3 mark which to me seems a little high..

in regards to piping whats cheaper for the intercooler.. stainless or aluminium.. also is it worth going stainless for the dump n front.. or be easier/cheaper to go mild steel

Cheers for any advice guys

Jarrod

would look like shit and have surface rust with mild steel, stainless steel ftw

most places would be 2.5-3k for that sort of work

try C-red my mate got quoted 2.1k for a similar setup (gt35r high mount, greddy intake)

or rent a car trailer and tow it to all the workshops

can also try Embelton engineering in Myree

or you can go to go gear and buy all the pre bent/cut pipes then get them to weld it

or use silicon joints

i gave kermit a msg, I'll probably get some pics for cypher once i finish getting it installed and see if i can get a quote from that

where is sanders racing.. i googled it, couldnt find it has anyone got a number

also where is this go parts.. are they open on the weekend

Kermit is very good with stainless, highly recommended. He put together my 3.5" system.

But i wouldnt be expecting change from 2.5k+ if you want a quality job. 3.5" stainless is more than double the price of 3" as its not a stocked size.

Stainless cooler piping will be cheaper than ally, and there are also far more people out there who can do a good job of welding stainless... I've only found two people I'd recommend for ally and neither come cheap.

If your tight on cash the other option is do the easy stuff yourself (cooler piping, intake pipe etc) and get the exh done professionally.

    • Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.
    • DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
    • As per title.. has anyone used so far? Keen to hear results, comparisons. In the market for a new mani for my new turbo. Any issues cracking?
    • Re read everything that has been written about this in this thread.. Let us know if you're still confused.
    • This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
