nice one cris!!

hp coating is exxy. getting mine done cost me almost as much as the headers themselves.

i would suggest some form of heat insulation, as you will not be able to use the standard heat shield.

merry christmas guys and girls

Hmmm maybe make a video/audio/picture thread?

Organise it by make and model and add tags to whom which car belongs to etc.

And get Eug to sticky it haha, so then we can have less people posting.. 'What does yours sound like?' 'Show me a video of yours' yada yada

got me heat wrap today, my mate told me u have to replace the bolts from the old extractors, anyone know if u have to or not?

No.. yiu dont have to.. but generally on older cars they tend to seize and be quite damaged from the heat from the exhaust..

i think you should be right with a 34 though..

I will post pics of heat wrapped headers tonight/tomorow

http://www.modyourcar.com.au/thermo-tec-ex...x-50-foot-p1328

$70 for a 1inch by 50foot roll of black exhaust wrap

seems to be a good price from what ive seen

NO NO NO!.. 1 inch is FAR too narrow!..

I baught the one inch.. took it home.. looked at the headers and the width of the wrap.. then jumped straight back into the car and swapped it for a 2 inch..

I just wanna save you time and money.. :)

pipe clamps

wrap it at the top a bit, then clamp it tight, then continue to wrap it down the pipe - often a strategic twist means you can come back up another pipe and only have to cut once

i think it also helps to have the wrap a bit damp

on another note i'll be doing this to a set of extractors i managed to get for my excel!!! w00t :(

$120 for old, but unused, anodized mild steel 4-1 extractors....

Wrap it around itself so it secures itself down.. so you take the end.. wrap it around the pipe.. then wrap over the same peice so it secures it self down.. just make sure its nice and tight

so its a straight forward task, the tighter you wrap it the better it will stay on.

cant wait for mine!

oh and have you got the flange welded yet? or did you wrap them first then get it welded later?

extractors for the exel, nice!

not sure if its just me but wouldnt the money be better spent if it was going towards a nice shiney skyline of your own?

or perhaps this exel has something up its sleave for the future that will blow our minds :(

    • Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

    • I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha. 
    • Can a moderator please move this into the right category.. I've accidently put this into racing build thread 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Being a manual, we very quickly ordered new R34 gearbox (From Nissan) and remaining parts from Kudos motorsports. Would highly recommend the team there. Ultra helpful and quick to share advice and upgrades. We are in the middle of taking the Auto out (Genuine 94,000/kms) and putting the Manual in this weekend. Part 2 of the build will include likely a Plazaman Intercooler and Plenium, Hks Exhaust with Tomei Dump (ordered).
