Where did the metal go?

Very good question, was thinking the same thing

[zonk]

I had a look for it but to dark to see anything :S i hope it hasnt got sucked through into something..

Hopefully the turbo pressure pushed it out, rather than the cylinders sucking it in.

well the car still runs so should be orite u rekon?? What stores can i get this pipe from? super cheap didnt have it..

[rinmak]

Just dont run the car any more with that pipe on there and cross your fingers it hasnt made its way into the engine.

As for the pipe you will have to contact places like Just Jap but from memory they wont seperate pipes from kits so would have to buy the whole thing.

I would get the current pipe repaired AND modified so it sits lower and this doesnt happen again.

Try a place like Embelton engineering

just buy a piece of silicone pipe and a couple of hose clamps and cover it with a clamp on each end.. good as new

Highly doubt any regular stores will have it. Autoworx (or similar places) maybe will have a kit, but whether they'll separate the pipe from the kit at a decent price is another question.

My old pipe is still here if you want it, should be pretty easy to fit, and then you can put something between the bonnet and pipe to stop it wearing.

As said above, mounting it lower would be the best option, though you'll need to cut your radiator fan back a bit to do that.

Also, by the sounds of it you car should be alright, here's hoping that the broken bit didn't go in. You could always take apart the intake manifold and all that to make sure. But I suppose once you get a new pipe on then you'll know if there are any issues.

Just get a little plate welded over it to patch it up, then engrave "Nismo" or put some performance brand sticker on it. It will look like its ment to be there.

you know, that actually sounds like a good idea. Made me laugh.
