They are available without posts but price does not change..

Yes, I have seen these in person! I have also seen them in comparison to the 1st gen and some of the cheap chinese shit going around! You get what you pay for in the latter. These are made in the land of the rising sun! Im definitly in on this batch. I asked him about the posts and they are for heat sheilds. I wasnt too keen on running them after fitting them but it is vital otherwise the intercooler pipes suffer heat soak as they sit just above the manifolds.

Yes! But they were for the 1st generation. These have been revised since then. -Heavily polished -pipe work is redesigned for better flow -Machined and polished flanges -better quality welds -modifed JIG for easier fitment -Additional bracing Edit: Was just told about more details

Quote From manufacturers ad I have spoken to a manufacturer who will be releasing their RB26 Manifolds shortly and with RRP set at $1299 is it definitely a viable and cheaper option compared to HKS headers. General description: Complete stainless steel (3mm thick!), mandrel bent and equal length headers/turbo extractors. Minimum gain we have seen is 12% (At the wheels) on a dead stock R32 GTR. These are a complete bolt on for all RB26 Engines and also have fittings for the factory heat shield. Firstly these headers are brand new and construction is from mandrel bent stainless steel. Other popular brands have mild steel flanges that have been "chromed" (or Painted) giving it the stainless look but not the associated benefits. The difference in flanges is the stainless steel will aid in gasket life and reliability with pipes and flanges expanding at the same rate. I know I personally don't want to be changing gaskets in 6 to 12months time, this is an evident property of mild steel flanges mixed with SS pipes as they expand and contract at different rates, which eventually causes them to warp! Ours are constructed of the same grade Stainless steel so they won't do this- ever! Mandrel bent pipe work in 3mm stainless and direct bolt on for all RB26 engines. We have also included a provision for the factory heat shield to keep under bonnet temp down. In addition, these can also be heat wrapped or HPC coated for further improvements Included are: -Headers (For 1 engine) -Manifold to head gaskets -Turbo Gasket Bends and welds are kept to a minimum to improve exhaust velocity and pipe length is made as even as possible (equal length). With these fitted you will see a power increase from around 1800 RPM all the way to 8000 RPM (not all Rb26's rev to 8,000) providing a broad power range. This makes every day driving a lot more enjoyable especially for those of you who are running aftermarket turbo's. The car is really that much better to drive! With a stock turbo, the power/torque drop off above 6500 isn't as bad and boost comes on a little earlier providing stronger mid range torque that hits like a bomb. The top end power increase is due to 2 reasons. Firstly; boost doesn't drop off like the factory manifold does. Secondly; the efficiency and flow is improved at high rpm driving- this was optimized for people using turbo upgrades such as garrett and HKS turbo's. In Addition the collector flange has been closer match ported. If you have a look at the factory manifolds you will notice a fairly large step where the manifold mates to the turbo's. We have changed this to a smooth entry. Perfect for street/track cars. In addition to this they also have a sound change which is inevitable with the velocity increase in the exhaust. The exhaust does sound tougher (higher pitched roar) with these fitted. Expect around 27 hp (at the wheels) on a stock RB26. Bigger gains have been seen with more modifications/better quality parts fitted but due to so many variables, the gains have been from 37 rwhp (about 20%) to a whopping 69 rw hp on a severely restricted car (This car had all the bolt on goodies and ended up making just over 500 hp (at all 4 wheels). This makes for a cost effective power increase! This doesn't just add top end power but increases overall power and power under the graph making your car overall quicker in a variety of situations including out of corners, partial throttle, up steep hills etc. Its easy to make something that improves power, but improving power over the entire useable RPM range and partial throttle is not so easy. Not only this, we have seen full boost reached 400 rpm earlier on a stock car and nearly 950 RPM on a more modified car. This makes a massive difference to the fun factor especially on the street and accelerating out of the corners. Unfortunately the dyno graph doesn't show partial throttle improvements in response, drivability and off boost torque. We will post dyno graphs shortly. This will fit your stock turbo or another bolt on. Group buy price for 10 $849 + Shipping $30 nation wide via courier If it hits 15 or more I need to update this with a specific price. Group buy closes 26/6/05 and firm payments are needed before this date and your name is put down. They will be delivered approx 18 working days after that! There is no pick up available and all items are shipped via courier They are not available for any other skyline! I will try and answer any of your questions, however feel free to email [email protected] if you have any questions I can not answer

Cryo is like nitriding but instead of only penetrating 0.020'' it goes all the way. Its a "heat treatment" type process.

depends on the car. PM me for more details

2 years old and have done about 15,000 klm (brothers road car) New front pollow balls because I had a suspension knock in the front. Turns out that the wheel alignment place forgot to do up my camber pins! Fully adjustable shocks as well as ride height. Absolutly awsome shocks. there is a little stretch of raod that I go to and I can usually exit the last corner at 130 klm. I was wiring up some gauges and my dash lights were not connected so I turned on the interior light and I was doing 150 on this particular corner! This was also without a wheel alignment. After the wheel alignment I could easily exit at 160. No oil leaks or damage! Excellent condition Rears sold, fronts only $600 May possibly fit an R34 GTR but I am unsure Also Adjustable castor kit. It is Urethane for less bush deflection replaced the factory bush that flogs out when you lower the car. This is offered to the person who buys the coil overs first and if they don't want it, its up for grabs for anyone. This will sharpen turn in and increase dynamic camber. $180

I dobt they will fit as the GTS4 has 280x26 disc. The size increase seems on the high side. Unless you had R32 GTR Calipers I dont think you could run a 296x 32 disc. DBA make a direct replacement for your car, cost is about $175 each

As per Pm's please do not compare this to the cheaper $1250 HKS or Greddy kit. There is a chalk and cheese difference in performance and quality. The price of the intercooler is not negotible and is $700 cheaper then what nengun or greenline can supply it for. Being the Apexi GT Spec core it is one of the better bar and plate cores on the market and up there with Spearco, garrett and HKS Drag series cores. The core is highly effiecient and rated to support over 750 hp with its 610x 270x 88 thick (4 layer) but is only around 5 kg in weight. This is due to high quality alloy used for the core and end tanks. The piepes are mandrel bent alloy with a HPC type coating (metallic silver colour) with professionally flaired/lipped ends to reduce the chances of hoses poping off on high boosted cars. The intercooler is in sydney and can be shipped straight away via TNT courier with online tracking and insurance. Or meet up is available in Sydney. There is no risk of duties and taxes (intercoolers are unavoidable as they have such a big box it wont pass undetected) High res pic's can be taken of the kit FOR SERIOUS PARTIES ONLY. NO DREAMERS or TIGHT SPHINCTERS please ;-) This kit will suit the fussiest R34 GTT owners

Ok, I just got off the phone to a couple of repco outlets and tehy said that 4926 SL (R32 GTR 4000 Series slotted) are $268. So they must have stuffed up on your order, or supplied you something different, lucky you! But please, feel free to check prices with local distributors.

As per the DBA web site: "Some of the secret ingredients of a DBA 4000 series disc rotor" 'Kangaroo Paw' is a patented hi-tech disc rotor ventilation system, designed and manufactured in Australia by Disc Brakes Australia. Not available on all part numbers, please check with your supplier for availability. More info: http://www.dba.com.au/dba_catalogue_2004/H...s/paw_index.htm TSP is a propriety process specifically developed by DBA for improving the performance of disc brake rotors. More info: http://www.dba.com.au/dba_catalogue_2004/H...s/tsp_index.htm Thermo-Graphic’ markings are placed on the outer edge of each DBA 4000 / 5000 series disc rotor and are used to monitor the core temperatures that are achieved during braking application. All DBA 4000 / 5000 series rotors include 'Thermo-Graphic' markings. more info: http://www.dba.com.au/dba_catalogue_2004/H...Information.pdf The directional slots allow for "deglazing" of the pad giving a better "bite" and most rotors are slightly oversize (only marginally so factory calipers still bolt on) which acts as a better heat sink to reduce thermal stress of performance pads in sports driving. In addition the rotors are made of a heavy duty material so perfmance pads wont quickly wear the rotor or warp them in hard driving.

For the R33 GTS they are 4000 Series rotors. They are a direct bolt on! R32 GTST 280mm x 30mm 909 SL $175 each 4909SL are additional extra. They are $225 each Shipping as above.

Its not going into a Skyline

Drilled rotors are not as strong. If you do any sort of hard driving I wouldnt suggest these. Only if your car is a pure street car and has no more then Mx5 type power. Any time you drill or reduce mass of a thermally stressed part, you are significantly reducing its strength. Shipping is $38 Metro area. Bris, Melb, Syd, adelaide, perth, Canberra are all $25 for 2 and 38 for 4. Other area's please PM me
-
If this drops in price for over 5 I will consider it!
-
do they have a smaller size? Maybe 17x17x17 with a lower rating?
-
here
-
Perth Metro area $38. Other areas I will need your Post code for a firm quote
-
Melb Metro area $25 via courier for 2 or $38 for a set
-
Genesis: I would say they are similar in price to 909sl $175 each Jordan: There is no pick up as they ship from the warehouse (deal that I hooked up) If they ship to me, and I meet you there is still a freight cost shipping them to me! They may as well get shipped to you direct.
