basically just simply asking where YOU have got yours done, what style it is (separate wastegate) or single, stainless or mild steel, and what size... and the big q, how much?

Is it best just to get 3"? I've got a 3" hiflow cat, but the catback is 3.74". Since the cat is restricted to 3" anyway, theres really no point in going bigger than 3" for the front section is there?

I'm not really interested in whether u recommend this or what shop for exhaust work, i just wanted to know where you got your front+dump pipe done, if u were happy with it and what u paid?

cheers

Chris.

Got a dump welded to my existing Mild Steel 3" front pipe by a professional shop welderer who has his own 13.2 sec gts25t (stock turbs) and who also does some work with coolers and drag cars.

DN include seperate wastegate pipe, though the area around the wastegate is significantly expanded from the flange to a point about 6" down the pipe to improve flow.

Cost me $140, most of which was for the flange. some tidy up work was required (grinder - thank's cam's uncle) to tidy up the flange.

GTST-Vpec,

how do you find the underbonnet temps with it? Or did you get that thermal wrapped or HPC coated? The guys at Genie are doing mine on Tuesday.

Its a pain they need to car to make it, as I would love to get mine built up then sent off for thermal coating before fitment.

Might look at taking it off later... just dont want to have issues with elevated intake temps or underbonnet heat issues, plus the thermal coating DOES improve performance (quicker spoolup).

    • Welcome!  How long have you had it? And what colour is it?
    • "CAD" version 1.0 It will have a 15mm lip around the top for 6 × 5 or 6mm nutserts and fixtures (two on each of the three straight edges), and some pinch weld on any exposed edges, it has three mounting points, one of the power steering reservoir bolts, and two on the rad support, my 120mm hole saw will make short work of hole for the silicone joiner, with ample room for some pinch weld  I've also got enough Carbuilders "peel and stick" heat shield to cover the outside of it at the coolant expansion tank and on the engine side, as pictured, and internally on the lid and where the fuse box is, I've also got some thin, about 3mm, black 3M single sided sticky foam stuff that was left over after sealing some door drafts at home to help seal the lid As for the shape, it "sort of" matches the shape of the fuse box, so shouldn't look to "out of place" The lower area and hole for the intake will need pinch weld with a balloon on it to fully seal the hole and bottom of it, that will happen after it has been fabricated so I know exactly what size is required  Filter service has been trialed,  and so far it was a simple process  Just need to get some alloy, and then head into work to use the guillotine and break press in the workshop Hopefully it should be sorted in a week or two Guestimated outlay will be under a $50 for the stuff I don't have on hand (alloy, 6mm nutserts, the pinch weld, and wrinkle paint) Disclaimer: That's what the "voices in my head" are telling me how the filter box should end up getting done......lets see if they know what they are talking about  
    • Have been polishing up the trailer rims as they had been sitting in the shed for a few years and are really in need of some love. This was after a couple of passes with chrome polish - coming up quite well ✅ .
    • Welcome aboard! Is your Skyline auto or manual? I'm assuming manual. Does it have any mods done yet?
    • Hey mate, the brown and grey plugs would usually go to the TPS, brown one goes on the bottom connector and grey is the top but isn't used unless the car is auto, your TPS looks different to mine though I've got a series 2 engine.
