Hey guys, Looking for Fabricators that are well known for the craftsmanship in Melbourne to make me a Metal intake pipe for for turbo. It has to line up wit the factory Air box and i will be using the plum back BOV so must be able for me to plum it back in using the stock piping with minor modifications.

If anyone knows a good fabricator in Melbourne, preferably in the western suburbs. Please Leave me a PM

Cheers guys =]

Any of the workshops there will have contacts for fabricators... OR hav fabricators that work inhouse.

Give the ones closest a call

Also Kane - you gotta reduce that signature size dude

1 Keep signature images to within 600x150 pixels

2 Combined Text and Image signatures to be kept within 600x200 pixels

Cheers boys

You can make your own with a piece of stainless steel pipe, cut the factory rubber one at a certain point, insert the steel and clamp at both ends...

Might sound dodgy when written like that, but it works perfectly and looks almost stock. There's a DIY with pics floating around somewhere...

JPC in Thomastown on err.. Lipton Dr, off Mahoney's Rd, same rd as Centreline

http://www.jpc.com.au/

they did nice work for me a while back

Or theres Glenroy Exhaust in Somerton

but.. from memory I went back caus the welding (intake pipe) was really messy on the inside and there was a small hole in one of the joins/seams... so I pretty much only go there for pieces now and DIY (Drive It to Your.. friendshouse&makethemdoit) haha

bonus with this is you still have play with the factory rubber hose

unlike the full metal one if its off a little it wont fit and you wasted your monies

Protek in Thornbury? I really enjoyed it when they left coolant (dripping from someone else's car) on my bonnet all day.... it was still there when I picked up the car.. I have a lovely 'racing stripe' down my bonnet now... noice.

Aircon doesn't work still.. win-win situation.

Protek.. Not a big fan. got my Breaks done on my 180sx a few years back and they forgot to tighten the front left caliper bolts.. on the ring road back home, it fell off and tore up my inside of my left rim.. Dom said sorry, Didn't even offer to pay for damages...

im guessing you want this to stop the intake pipe from sucking closed (if you want the noise you need to remove your bov) try one of these http://cgi.ebay.com.au/SKYLINE-R33-34-GTST...1QQcmdZViewItem they get listed in black from time to time.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
