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.

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
