Chat to STR8E180 on ns.com he can custom fabricate alot of stuff.. Although I don't know if you'll get much out of a stainless intake pipe on a N/A? Except maybe sound..

hey when mine was na i just used the standard turbo intake manifold section worked really well attached the air flow meter and then a pod, easy as to do, if you wanted to know how to make one up "craved" just need to build up a pipe that goes from your throttle body and come over the top of the engine down into a section that will bolt up to the air flow meter in the exact spot where the turbo one sits, and then weld the 2 pipes i think it is, 1 for the head gass realease and the other that i think from memory goes and bypasses the manifold and on to the idle control valve thing\y

i havent been able to yet see my local exhaust shop..

what would be best suited for this, stainless steel or aluminium, because my freinds went to the same place i am going to goto and he cannot weld aluminium.

i dont really want to use parts from another skyline i would much prefer a new one made from scratch..

unarmed_skyline was talking about whats needed to make one from scratch

he is basically saying that the std airbox is in the same place for N/A and Turbo .. same goes for the TB

Alloy is lighter - harder to maintain the same surface finish without working on it

stainless is heavier - but once you install it it will look the same after time

mild steel is sorta a happy medium with strengh, weldability and defonatly has good durability, weight is ok but i dont think it is the best for heat transfer, out of your two i would take stainless, aluminium will melt when trying to weld it, i think you can only use a tig welder on it and still can have troubles really needs to be done by a professional but ifg your going to an exhaust joint they will use either stainless or mild steel.

ask in the fabricatinon section what material might be the best,, some of the members looking in there might know some good info, spech some specs on what will be the best to keep the temps down,

Alloy can be mig'd - needs a new liner in the MIG (teflon), and Argon gas - mainly TIG'd though

Welding is Melting the metal .. so of course alloy melts :3some:

Mild steel needs to be coated/painted or it rusts - other 2 wont.

temps down is a tough one ... stainless retains heat more than alloy , but once hot alloy will cool down quicker .. best to keep it here as the fabrication section is for how to do something yourself, not generic questions like this.

stick with alloy or stainless.. make your choice according to the look your after (rest seems a bit of over thinking :spank: )

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
