$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.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
