is there a difference in extractors, im talking custom made ( the type that are blue coloured ) or stainless steel extractors? depends on where you go i guess, i couldnt get "pre-made" extractors at all for my r34 n/a so had to get custom. r33 n/a might be a bit different, if you speak to Eug, i know he organised a group buy a while back.

is there a noticeable power increase? not necessarily. i gained responsiveness not kW's

does anyone have the custom extractors? yes i do. (pics included)

whats your opinion on them? worth the money? i am extremely happy with mine, the guys at Exhaust Technology here in Adelaide were brilliant, and even took pics for me :blink: the cost $680, and took about a day and a half from memory to do. i got many quotes exceeding $1000 and a week plus wait for them to do it in. a load of frogshite i say. it dosent really take that long. they just choose to dely the process by doing bits here and bits there.

When i got mine done (1000 i think i was for the full system)

i was on my learners (so wasn't thrashing it around) and it took the guy fairly long to do but didnt really mind as i was on Ls so i couldn't really compare power. And i havn't been on a dyno ever so havnt measured my KW's.

He had to do them custom too, he couldnt find anything from his suppliers that would fit so he decided to make em custom and he took a few shots for me and even lent me his camera to put em on my computer, great guy (Jay, from Hillside Exhausts in furntree gully) i recommend going there for anyone around the area good products and good prices and a friendly service. Nice little workshop he has there too.

ill post up a couple of pics in a sec

the welding on those extractors looks neat.

i don't like the look of the collectors though, a quick look at where the pipes branch into 1 looks like it might be a spot for a bit of turbulence.

will agree with heat wrapping/hp coating.

Has anyone gotten their headers made from titanium?

Anyone care to hazard a guess at the weight saving?

And with heat wrapping.. is there a special technique? or just wrap and use a hose clamp to tie off the ends?

cheers boys and girls :D

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
