Project 'gozila'...

[Marko R1]

$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

[N1GTR]

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.

U just put this in perspective for me...4k is farken ridiculous for what potentially is a 20awkw gain!

[N1GTR]

Yeah there has to be a point where enough is enough, time for the next car

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

haha too funny paul - you are a crude man, very swarve!

[bigmikespec]

Do it Marko...

[Marko R1]

Ooooh that's nice

Is that a custom system? I can see the letters 'JUNBL'

Any youtube clips?

[bigmikespec]

That car used to belong to "williamsf1" on this forum, he had that exhaust made by Exhaust Technology here in Adelaide. They are JUNBL mufflers.

[Marko R1]

oh yes - good old ben was his name, he was an international pilot...he was looking at an r35 - i wonder if he ever bought 1?

[Marko R1]

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

[bubba]

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.

[Marko R1]

which company makes DS2500 pads? i should know this

[Fastrotor]

Ferodo do Marko.

[Marko R1]

thanks - i knew that, i was just testing other members knowledge

[rockabilly]

can anyone get these made up?. i would love that set up on my 33gtr, or is anyone selling one?. bernie

[Marko R1]

Bernie - that is a custom job BUT the apexi n1 system is the same with 2 x 3inch pipes and straight off the shelf

[Marko R1]

Do it Marko...

I think I would miss my 5inch canon way too much lol. It actually measures the same OD as my tail lights, so essentially I have 5 rear tail lights, that is, when it shoots a flame
