Hi All,

Just wondering who here or knows of anyone that is able to custom make FMIC piping in aluminium.

I own a S13 with a RB motor in it and no one makes off the shelf FMIC Kits, so I am wondering if anyone knows workshops that provide such services and at a reasonable price around Sydney.

I've been quoted $1000 by Fussy's , $800 by ST8E180 for just aluminium which I believe is pricey considering off the shelf piping kits go for $250. I thought about mating a SR20DET kit and a RB25DET kit together, but I just don't have the time to do it and chances of it not fitting properly is quite high.

If anyone is able to provide such service or recommend a workshop that will do it at a reasonable price that would be appreciated.

The reason why I am redoing my piping work is because the previous owner attempted a 'home" job and it just looks like a dead rats connected to each other and so its in mild steel and there's rust appearing.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Johnny

all sorts of custom work, piping would be too easy for em :) specialise in custom exhausts, but intercooler piping should be a breeze...

buy $250 sr cooler piping so u get the bits that get in the engine bay after that you should be able to use a few 90 and 45 bends to make it fit.

or,

take all you piping off, take it to a powder coater and get him to blast and coat it. will look like brand new and u know it already fits.

YEAH, dont for a second think that you will get someone to spend 6 hours and about 200 dollars worth of raw bends etc etc to do it for less than 700. just very time consuming.

oh and btw. ally is the easist to do it in. id offer my services but im flat out at the moment.

yesterday was the first time my whole engine bay has been together

sorry for the shit pics, wait for the magazine to come out to see better ones :P

i've heard good things about sonny too.

but either way you'll be paying more than 700+ for custom work of any kind of metal. labour aint cheap.

give westside mufflers in padstow a call. they do alot of custom piping work. i send all of my welding jobs to them.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
