Is there anyone in Canberra that does custom pipe work. I'm thinking of getting a garrett 30 series and need a 4 inch/100mm intake pipe, and long split dump system. I can trailer the car to canberra, but if I have to go to sydney I'll have to use a transporter.

i've been to city exhaust a fair few times with both my skyline and stagea, and they've done all good things for me. people get bad experiences everywhere though, just make sure you know exactly what you want and that they know it too.

I would also recommend powertone. They did a great job on my last car a 93 barina cat and full exhaust 2" for only $500 which is great and sounded good all in mild steel. The guys there are really tenacious about there work if it is not perfect they are not done :D

i am doing the same to mine very shortly going to doing it myself using ss pipe ill let you know how it goes.

Well really i am getting a good mate to do it with his mig. lol.

There are lots of ppl that can work in ss. Just need to ring and some of the exhaust places. Or some of the performance shops.

I am also in the same boat.

I have fitted a batmbl front split dump and just bought a 3" metalcat without flanges.

After having a really good look at my exhaust the middle section is not 3" so I want to replace the middle section and get the cat put in at the same time.

I have been quoted rediculous prices. like $500 to get it done in stainless for a peice of pipe that is 1 metre long and two 3" flanges. I am not made of money.

race snooze if you have a mate that can do the welding he is worth his weight in beer :teehee:

That's what the exhaust places want to charge anyway.

    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
