so

my neighbours started whinging about my car, so i cabletied my silencer in til i could get an exhaust shop too weld nuts too the inside... figured was a bettter option that getting a complaint to my agent.

anyway, back on topic, this 4.5" silencer has broken free somewhere in malvern/camberwell/toorak area... so if any one sees one lying on the side of the road, or has one spare, let me know.

or alternatively, if you know of any cheap units renting in a similar area, that would be better.

twenty words or less version- needed: 4.5" silencer, 1 33GTR wheel centrecap

Sorry for your finacial loss but I have to ask....cable ties on a hot exhaust?

Surely you heard it drop off, it would have got loud quick.

Everyone knows dodgy exhaust work = the use of coat hanger wire :P

This is a joke right? cable ties....

lmao.. this has to be a wind up... who uses plastic cable ties to hold hot exhausts on?

I mean cable ties can hold a majority of the skyline together, but there are some things that cables ties and duct tape can't be used on. exhausts being one of them.

hey, they were the UV resistant ones which i thought might do better with heat,i knew they wouldnt last long, but hoped one might go before the other, and could replace it from the spares stash. making descisions sedated= fail . and i have used them around exhausts heaps... just not on them... i must admit, they lasted a fair while(many drives), then all of that night, i checked them at the shops, then 5mins later got home, GONE.

so WTB 4.5" silencer, 1 33GTR wheel centrecap

Probably out of your price range, but I highly recommend a Varex exhaust. I've had two now, and I cannot praise them enough.

Roar, or stock Excel-like silence at the touch of a button. They're very, very effective.

I think it'll be more useful if you post your pipe diameter. somehow i don't think you inlet pipe on the muffler is 4.5".

the part of the cannon where the silencer is inserted in to, is 4.5" in diameter...

ha ha, i was starting to wonder when ur neighbours will get tired of your car

maybe its time for a smaller exhaust :)

i think Phil(philmak) is selling R33 GTR wheels with RE55s on them, so you might want to ask him if he can spare a center cap

you might want to have a look at them in person, coz in pictures they seemed to have a couple more track days left in them.

Overpriced considering they are still illegal :)

Cheaper to get a piece of metal cut

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
