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.

    • Kinkstah, no, coilovers aren't illegal, especially as a bolt straight in. The illegal part will be if they're altering suspension geometry beyond factory limits, or the ride height is not legal.   Sounds like the blue slipper just didn't want to deal with any later possibility of mods appearing on the car.
    • The problem has always been that coilovers are able to be adjusted, almost at any time, to be too low. Most people who ever get/got defected for/with coilovers were actually afoul of the minimum ride height rule. So the interpretation by cops/inspectors was always that it is pointless to allow numpty to raise his coilovers and get the car inspected/cleared, then just drop them back down again as soon as they get around the corner from the inspection station.  This led to the interpretation that they were illegal unless rendered such that they can't be adjusted (ie, collars welded to the body, that sort of thing). That may or may not have ever actually been the official line, but I'm pretty sure it's not considered to be a solution these days. Coilovers themselves fall under clause 3.2 b of that manual, because they are an "installation of a variable ride height system" and they don't fit the exclusions in that clause (which point to air springs and other pneumatic adjusters). So, as per previous statements, they require engineering cert to be legal on the road. Once you have such cert, provided you do not adjust them outside the height range covered by the cert, you are OK. Without, you have an unroadworthy vehicle.
    • Here E10 is the cheapest fuel. And general advice is to not use it unless you hate your car. From what I remember it clogs up stuff in the fuel system or injectors?  With US/Canada being E10 across the board, does that mean that all fuel there is terrible?
    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW ) Edit: I checked. They aren't. https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-infosheet-light-vehicle-modifications-manual-suspension-and-ride-height.pdf
