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!

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, 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?

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.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
