Stainless Steel Intake Pipe - Where To Purchase Or Get Manufactured?

Hi Everyone,

I was just wondering if anyone could give me an idea, where I can buy or get a stainless steel intake pipe (between AFM and turbo) made up to replace the factory rubber one? I have seen the Apexi ones on Nengun (very expensive), and I am not really interested in the silicon ones available from JustJap. I am after one that just "bolts up", with the appropriate silicon joiners, and has all the attachments to plug in all the hoses etc that go into it.

I occasionally see them for sale on SAU, but these things go very quick, and I have always missed out....

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Peter

could always try and make one yourself. i did when i changed turbo (needed 100 on turbo side) and it was easier than i thought. just got a bit of 100mm pipe (was ally) with a 45 degree bend in it, cut it to length, drilled a couple holes and found some fitting for BOV and pcv, screwed them in and siliconed them, then just had to buy a 100mm joiner and a 100mm-80mm reducer from turbotech. got bits at different times and with other stuff but probs cost less than $100 all up

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for all the replies! Thanks especially to Ricca for all the sms's, but no action on my part :pirate:

I should be getting my car back this week, so I'll look into the suggested ideas / leads then.

BTW, just a thought - I went to where my car is being repaired and squished in the factory pipe and noticed it was quite firm - would this pipe only "suck in" if the filter was not flowing adequately? I am thinking of a vacuum cleaner here - pipe doesn't "suck in" unless you jam something over the end - so if the filter is flowing enough then it shouldn't "vacuum in" so to speak??

Anyways, I will still be going for a metal pipe, but it was just a thought!

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
