Everlast are just too busy this week and Saturday to do my intercooler piping for me. :D

Can anyone recommend anyone else around the Regency Park/City area who could do the job? Its not too hard, just need piping done from fmic (2.5") to go down (2.25") to the existing pipework from the removed smic on my Stag.

:starwars:

Thanks guys.

I'm also considering doing the job myself. I've got my own MIG and I've fabbed piping before for my other projects ... I was just hoping to make it someone elses problem. But I'm keen to try it myself again :D

Might visit Aussie Discount Mufflers for the bends only.

I'll dummy the intercooler in place and if it looks like more trouble than what I want to deal with I'll then consider the above mentioned places.

Cool, you'll find that ET have pretty good prices and they're quick too. I got my zorst done while I waited, took less than 2 hrs for them to mod the angle, mount it, add a resonator and get everything welded. top people imho.

-D

Ouch!

Got quoted $500-$600. Think I'll buy the bends and do it myself. :D

Edit: out of curiousity, I rang one place back and said the car was a VL turbo, and the intercooler piping quote dropped $200 :)

So you are getting quotes to make up the whole piping or just modify some existing piping?

I thought from your original post that you were just getting something modified?

EDIT!!

I must have read it wrong, i don't know how i read that you were modifying piping.

Go to AAA Exhaust.

I made up a template from poly pipe and PVC fittings took it to them and they bent it up out of stainless. It cost $140 for them to do it including them suppling the piping. Mine was 2 inch and being a 180 is shorter than what you will be making but it will still come in under $250. Then all i had to get was two TIG welds and the piping was done. Like i said earlier they bent up my intake as well.

The welds were done because you have to have 200mm between bends and there were a couple places that they had to be closer.

:P

FMIC behind front bar. 450mm wide core radiator (100mm thick).

Option 1:

Mount it as standard behind bar; from the furthest length/end 180 degree 2.5" bend then straight pipe reduced down to 2.25"; pipe (and bends) to existing pipework from (removed) smic; from the shortest length/end 2.5" pipe reduced to 2.25" to existing pipework from (removed) smic.

Option 2:

Mount it upside down (no need for 180 bend); from the furthest length/end 90 degree 2.5" bend down reduce to 2.25"; 2.25" pipe to 90 degree bend to run under fmic to existing pipework from (removed) smic; from the shortest length/end 90 degree 2.5" bend reduce to 2.25"; to a 90 degree 2.25" bend to existing pipework from (remvoed) smic.

Hopefully I'll have time tonight or tomorrow night to dummy up the intercooler and decide on an option. Then I'll purchase the bends needed.

:woot:

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
