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 :(

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
