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

nismoman18,

"Got extractors for $300, chromed for $100, they put in a massive coby resonator for $80 as well, my cars quieter after the mod, labour+misc bits $120, excellent investment, looks good too."

answered two of your posts in one :P

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.

    • T51R mod is an Antisurge slot. With exception that it has few extra legs on the base of it which makes a sound, and it needed to be inserted into the comp housing.  
    • Is WHC34 a 2 wheel drive Stagea?  4wd Stagea 100% fits, and I'd say 99% sure 2wd will too....they just used the GTR setup as that best suited the wagon floor. BTW I hope you saw Brett's post about potential reasons for a leak, unless you can see the plastic cracked somewhere, it is unlikely to be the tank itself leaking.  Can you see fuel dripping or is it just a smell when you park? Have you had any of the tank/pump holder apart?
    • They did get back to me. First response is from the mechanic that did the work. The problem is that the information that followed wasn't in the original report, which again, I let car inspect know should have been provided and influenced my decision to buy. Ball is back in their court and they have 5 more days to respond.  The actual structural damage was not a complete write off as they had me originally believe.  It just needed to be corrected properly and cleanly as opposed to the botch job of whoever did it last on the rad support and undercarriage. Smoothed out the scrappy welds and did it properly plus painted.
    • Haven't updated this is a while. -5 speed conversion is done. Then center console, parking brake handle, and mounting bracket can be adapted from a R34 since the S2 parts are all disco. Console is a slightly different grain pattern and color but works fine. R33/ R34 GTS (no booster) clutch pedal works as well as the matching master cylinder. Wiring is simple, jump the starter connector at the fuse box, note which wires are connected at which position on the auto neutral safety switch and cut off the switch harness and connect to the corresponding switch on the 5 speed. -Rear R34 rear subframe swap is completed. Full Nismo arm set, 2-way LSD set up soft, 322mm Brembo brakes, Ohlins Flag-R coil overs (need to drop the spring rate 1Kg) -RB swap is under way. HKS Step 2 High Response 2.8 BCD stroker kit / Step 2 V-Cam / GTIII 4R Kit I may not use the 4R kit but not sure yet as I've seen some pretty decent dyno sheets on it and it doesn't spool as slow as people think when you have v-cam. I have the wiring manual for the car and a spare 260RS harness so the wiring shouldn't be that bad but I just haven't had the time to invest in it. If anyone has a suggestion for someone who can handle it let me know! I have a bunch of spare 5mt swap parts and some Nismo 580 turbos if anyone needs/wants them hit me up. Located in California but willing to ship. As always, thanks to all the members who have answered my questions and helped this project keep moving!      
    • Did Car Inspect get back to you? How bad was the actual "structural" damage? What front surgery was required?
