I called two places today to get quotes on a 3" mild steel front/dump pipe and s/steel high flow cat fitted (r33 gts-t) and i got two different quotes.. $900 from mettams and $620 from carline grapnel. Any ideas why there might be such a difference in price for similar things?

Apparently the mettams cat is a pacemaker and the carline one is a magnaflow. i'm just going to go with carline obviously!!

yeah those prices do include fitting

i figure it's going to be $200 for dump pipe and $200 for high flow cat from JJR = $400 + shipping + i wouldnt have a clue how to fit it so i'd have to pay for fitting too... just be easier to get it all fitted in a shop :)

Edited by dnbosiris

guess carline is the go, ill get a address for you of my mate where he got his front/dump and hi flow cat done

heard it was really good price. so will send u a PM once i get it.

Or you could just give me the money for the quote, ill go get the gear you want and fit it...lol... its really easy dude, ya nanna could do it eh!

Just get the front pipe and dump from jap parts plus, then get someone from here to fit it for you... shit i just lost my job, id be more than happy to fit it!

picked up the front/dump and cat for $435 and tenagah charged me 2 hour labor for installation.

was very impressed with tenagah's price & service - highly recommended!! will def be going back there.

can definitely notice the difference in power & torque, very happy with it.

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • 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! 🤣
