Thats exactly what Racepace told me when I asked them about building me a mines style front pipe with a 450awkw goal with my new engine. Bummer was that they couldnt make the pipe for me without me sending the car down to them though, seeing as all systems are custom made to fit.

Funny timing here.

Im having exactly that made up for my GTR, a Mines style front pipe in 2 x 3" leading to a 4" merge, its custom to accommodate the extra height. Is yours the same height as an RB30 block?

If so, it would work out perfectly for you as mines being used as a template. I can see about getting another one made up and ship it to you if you like.

Thanks for the offer but the spacer is only 20mm a stock RB26. I think RB30's are nearly 40mm taller.

I like your style too. Nothing will solve flow issues like a 4" front pipe!

rb30 = 38mm taller.

how many posts has there been in the past 15min haha

Haha no probs mate

Cheers :(

actually, my brother has twin pipes on his gtr, its an 'n1' cat-back system, i think its 3inch as well.

factory engine & sounds very tough/poppy BUT i havent heard his engine kick over for way more than a year now hehe (dont ask)

I was talking last night about this, if the price isnt too bad, ive decided to make both exhausts and see which one ends up being better, then selling the other one (as they'll both flow huge numbers anyway)

There may be a BIG HP twin 3" RB30 on this Saturday's cruise :(

Oh yeah? And to think I was going to go to Wakefield instead.....if you confirm how much power is "BIG HP" that could persuade me to come along :P

....i have a thought who it may be, its auto or manual?

OK...VERY VERY BIG HP :(

Mark, it's the NSW:SAU Putty Rd Cruise.

Oh, and it's members only....but you can join on the day :(

PS, Steve, it is manually shifted :D

ok, just measured my front pipes & they're 2.75inch which merges into a 3.5inch pipe.

i spoke to westside mufflers & the cost is $2200 for a 4inch s/s system which also includes modifying the front pipe collector to a 4inch pipe...bit pricey i thought, any other workshops recommended?

lol, ok next guess; is it twin 3037's?

I know its not your car hahaha

Your fronts are those xforce ones you were talking about?

I have the HKS ones, they're roughly the same size - id go check but no veniers

That price isnt that bad, but i know you can do better!

im not sure what they are, could be xforce or hks, how can i tell? could be hks to match the rest of the hks system, fark knows!

i called liverpool exhaust, custom 3inchfront pipes to merge into 4 inch all the way to rear is as follows:

- mild steel with ceramic coating (the whole thing) = 4k

- s/s (the whole thing) = $4400

- 4inch mild without front pipes = $2200 (westside is the same @ $2200 but its s/s)

he recommends i go mild steel with ceramic coating but to coat the entire thing is a bit of overkill, thoughts?

apparentely mild steel is more flexible for knocks & bumps, more suited for our great aust roads!

No, it's definitely not my car - it only made 411rwkw on 16 psi a few years ago now

:(

Oh, and it's the Bells Line Of Rd Cruise, not Putty Rd (which is end of year). Same meet point though.

$2,200 is a bit steep. Last time I bought 4" 316 stainless it cost me $45-50 each bend. Exhausts would be 304 grade. I could get a twin 3" done for under $2,000.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
