wat about extracors for an RB20?  

anyone know where in sydney i can get them?

coby make ones for rb20 as well as posted earlier by cookm. i found a place in NZ http://www.autopia.co.nz/ that are willing to ship to oz, their price for rb25 extractors was NZ$226 plus freight (pay no gst because its an export). given the exchange rate this is pretty good!

cookm,

dude you are doing a great job of modding your car:D your extractors look mad with the chrome, are they stainless or mild steel and before the chroming what kind of finish did they have? have you looked into any thermal coating/heat wrap to prevent cracking or do they come with some kind of coating from coby? sorry about all the questions, i just want to know all the facts before i pay a nz company money for something i've never seen!

thanks

GREG:

I purchased extractors through Manawatu Mufflers in Palmerston North, they sourced extractors from Auckland somewhere - came in standard red mild steel i was told, supplier recommended chroming them in Hamilton on the way to me, don't have much information sorry, not sure if they are heat treated or not, just followed advice by suppliers ???

Government passed a boy racer law here in NZ, cars aren't allowed mufflers louder than original manufactured, hence my little project :(, it's not illegal yet to cut our CAT's out though :(

Peak Power 87.1 rwkW @ 5886 RPM

Peak Power 116.7 Hp @ 5886 RPM

Peak Torque 487.9 Nm @ 3541 RPM

Am a bit disappointed with the Power, I expected higher.

Have read other guys results, 100-114 rwkW

Any ideas why ?

that torque is massive! is that a typo and its actually meant to be 287.9 Nm? if its for real then maybe the extractors have sacrificed a lot of peak power for a lot of low down torque?

also, i remember reading a thread a while back about how dynos are different or something, maybe this one wasn't calibrated properly or maybe australian dynos are different to new zealand ones (its well known that american dynos read higher than ones over here).

thanks for the info on the extractors, i rang advan imports in sydney today (www.advan.co.nz) and they told me that the extractors are mild steel as u said, not hpc coated and i can get them for AU$350 in a painted finish or AU$430 in chrome. I think this is a bit expensive and i should be able to get a better deal by importing them from Autopia in NZ but they haven't got back to me yet on freight costs so i can't be sure...

If we have a few people here that are interested in these coby extractors from Autopia in NZ (NZ$226 = AU$196) for their RB20/RB25 maybe we could organise some kind of group buy so we can ship them over to australia for a cheaper price per unit? i'm willing to organise this if people are interested so let me know.

cheers

I thought the torque was a bit high, will do a dyno with an indapendent garage to compare results, will reset the ECU, it may make a difference.

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
