Sweet FREE dyno!!! Coolo, what are your trading hours steve? I went with the Trust unit as I feel if you are planning on making some serious HP you need to use the best parts. I still havent decided on how high I want to go and there is no point wacking on a cheap australian made fmic and saving a grand or so and then deciding I want more power. Also japanese know their shit, they've been modifying cars far longer than us and it bolts straight into the car easily and matches up to the existing pipes in the engine bay so for ease of fitting its great. I'm not bagging australian products, we make some of the best ECU's (motec is used by some serious 9 second GTR's etc), but I just think the japanese bolt on stuff is top shelf.

Ok, find out how much the exhaust places charge for a custom made unit and then compare it to the unit Jash @ c-red sells. $1k, stainless steel quality, 3.25" cat back (no resonator so maximum flow, tad loud but not the loudest I've heard) and it can be fitted in 10 minutes as it bolts straight on and into the existing mounts (just make sure the old exhaust is cold before you touch it :)) Its been proven on the dyno to give a good increase in HP, looks good with large barrel and angle at back (I'll attach some photo's if interested when I get home). So up to you, most places with custom exhausts will require the car for a day to make the exhaust up for you.

I use Quickfit in Morley, went there yesterday for a mod on my Volvo exhaust. Cost me $40 for an hours worth of his time and some pipe and heatshielding material.

He's done all the work on my R33.

Quality job, good price. Give Pat a call.

Was looking at one of those C Red N1 style systems, but worried about "the drone"... i love the sweet burble a line gets with a decent zorst, but that annoying freeway raquet can be a killer on long trips. looking at getting dump done as well, are these systems loud?

Beeble,

I'm sure that someone with one of these systems on would be more than happy to take you for a drive and you can experiance the noise for yourself. I'm sure C-red could organise for you to listen to a car with this system on it.

See'ya:burnout:

Rob - yeah thanks i'd appreciate that. will PM you.

(vaguely) on topic - getting dump done at same time. have discussed this with quite a few of the shops mentioned in this thread, as yet can't make up my mind on separate wastegate pipe or all-in-one. stock turbo/coola/safc/10-12psi(soon!)

i hate decisions...

thoughts??

I have the speparate wastegate pipe, and it's great, but you want to make sure they know what there doing when making it. It won't make a huge difference either way, eventually the external wastegate is the only option.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
