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

JPC, nah dont like them..

Thanks for all the help guys.. I like Dez's Idea.. any one selling a Stock turbo to air box rubber hose thingo?

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.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
