Holy pain in the ass batman

I cant even get my old one off so I cant say if it fits or not yet

can only get five of the 6 nuts off

is there a trick to getting a spanner to the nut in the middle closest to the inner guard ??

Mines got an aftermarket dump pipe on at the moment and its proving to be very difficult to remove

Just be careful, we snaped off the top one in the turbo exhaust manifold, now we have the wonderful task of removing it :) Have you tried spraying WD40 or similar and letting it sit for an hour or so, this may help a little. ;)

The quality of these split dump pipes and metal high flow catco cats are excellent, I can highly recommend them if any one is considering a purchase!!! :O

SS8_Gohan - Maybe I am just being a bit fussy, it does fit but just sits too close to the body at the cat end for my liking, but this problem is easily fixed and I am not complaining, but that could also be because I have an R34 Series 2 sedan, I dont know if they would be different to coupe's or Series 1's??

hmm... i've finally paid for my split pipe, not too keen on this "not fitting quite right" business :laugh:

If you are referring to my experience, it fitted perfect, i just had to get a slightly shorter bolt for one of the holes (or cut a little off the end of the old one).

I also found that with the new dump and metal cat, my ground clearance was better than with my stock cat.

I got it fitting by a workshop though, cost $80 or so. Well worth it.

Finally got it on

wasnt so bad after all

had to go buy a stubby spanner set to get to the bloody nuts

but it fitted straight up

and after driving it i wouyld say it does spool up alot faster now and power feels more linear (smoother)

      Rusty roof repair

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
