Want to get stainless steel intercooler piping on my r32. Got a FMIC.

I got it out of a kit I found that the piping suplied just did not fit up right at all, So i modified and found that the pipies are not all .round

So fed up want to get it done properly.

Anyone know any reasonably priced places that will fabricate it up,

and how much will aprox cost.

Thanx.

Hey dude... they usually charge by the hr for welding.. i know my workshop charge like $88 or sumfin per hr cos its "welding" and its more hazardous or sumfin... not too sure... but a good fabricator can knock sumfin like that off in a couple of hrs... then you have your bends and striaght s/s pipes which are like $15-$20 per bend depending where you get it from, your best bet is to go to a workshop that does it and ask for full price... btw s/s looks HEAPS better than the shit alloy pipe they give you in kits.. just a bit more $ lol

yeah but the allulminum pipes are lighter.. wher as SS aint. and the weakest link is still elbow joints and or silicone hoses. so dnt need SS. mild steel is fine too if u like the rust look.

call up ECC they can do it.

Try Xtreme Automotive

(07) 3290 0107

they specialise in custom piping/fabrication

mate took me down there for my supra at the time...intercooler was damaged aswell

they fixed and welded up cooler, chrome stainless steel 2.5 piping, the whole works...$700

otherwise, do it urself kits are available from autobarn for most skylines...however, price wise it will prolly cost the same :laugh:

I can highly recommend Steve from Motion Garage. Tig welding is excellent and nice shiny finish if it means anything to you. Steve specialises in intercooler kits, custom exhaust manifolds and full stainless exhaust systems. I think I have some photos of his work in my gallery.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
