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.

    • Drilled the rubber out on a slow speed and it didn't catch much at all. Probably only half a dozen holes was enough to shred the rubber and it dropped off easily leaving the inner sleeve behind. Will tackle that later
    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
