$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.

where did u get that price?

yes ive been talking to duncan about becoming a sau nsw member - i have the forms, just need to pull my finger out

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!

Well there would be a brand name stamped on it somewhere, i guess thats the only way to tell

Well, forget liverpool exhausts then, for 4k id rather do the gearbox (well, most of it)

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.

You still have a skyline? lies!

Let me know if its a definate if you dont mind and ill probably bring the supra for a run

I'm bringing my rb30 to the cruise....marko if I can get a day off on saturday you can too. just bring the forms with you.

ok - i need to apply for leave with my wife & i 'should' be there...on a more serious note, my mother in law had a quadruple heart bypass on monday & she will be in ICU for another week, problem is that they dont allow any kids under 16 yrs of age in ICU which leads to the high possibility of daddy babysitting our 6mth old baby

lol...he just bought mine. Hehe...so Charlie...you planning to live on a diet of Smoked Stevo at your next track meet?

paul - sorry mate, i'll call u tomorrow

next project for my car is to improve braking power.

im running factory brakes & have been informed that these are quite good when setup right, so im getting the discs machined, replacing brake fluid with motul & running 'race brakes' pads all around (race brakes is the actual brand).

i had this setup in my previous gtr and was very happy with them (apart from when they squealed like crazy which sounds racey anyway lol & crap braking power when cold).

i definitely need to do this as its very dangerous with the power its running - currently up on stands & ive removed the calipers/discs & dropped the fluid

I run DS2500 pads on the front of my 32 (with 324mm rotors) and I've found them to be a really good street/track pad (not cheap though), they are a step down from the full blown race pads and as such work better at lower temps.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
