no worries at all. Everything has been put back because it was confirmed this morning that my welder parts went to Mexico.....yes MEXICO!!!!!!!

Anyway, it might tie in nicely because I have a car coming down shortly that you may have some work from which you can take a look at while I teach you how to weld LOL....just messing with ya!

Yeah when I drop my car off to ariel, ill get him to weld some dash fittings to the rocker covers then if you wanna take the rocker covers, exhaust manifold, dump and rear turbo housing, Craved, and throw some of your coatings on them that would work out good!

No worries Joel

let me know when you are going to take the car over to Ariel and we'll tee something up.

Finally a bit of an update....have been flat out getting back on track after the purchase of a new welder. Only the surge tank and turbo flange have been done with the new welder.

Apart from plenums for 4G63, RB20, RB20 (in matt black shades.gif ) , RB30, SR20, G200 I thought I would post up some pics of the kind of work there seems to be a bit of a demand for. The plenums aren't slowing down, I just put the word out there that I can do this kind of work and people seem to catch on.

Turbo Suzuki Swift GTI - weld exhaust manifold, weld fuel lines, build radiator end tanks and mounts as well as modified radiator support to mount it & intercooler piping

To keep this thread going, I will have pics of the plenum work I have done recently over the weekend since they are being finalised for delivery.

Happy Welding,

Ariel

I have a CA18DET 1200 ute being towed up here from Canberra this coming week, you can bring your car up after that if you like :thumbsup: and then an R31 (don't worry Joel, I thought I would squeeze it on before your car tunrs up :whistling:

Dam.....what does it need to get running? Can I help out with it if it comes here?

Junkey (has a quite giggle) - you mean the end tanks for radiators and intercoolers? If so, no. Just measure them, draw it on the sheet and cut away

you "could":nyaanyaa: I am going down to Canberra either this coming week or next week to check out another job so I might aswell come past and have a look at it and see how much i can do with some "templates" maybe enought to get it driving. If you like, pm me your number and I will give you a call when I am heading down

I will be making one for the 32's as soon as I get mine back.

26 plenum is coming along, a little slower than expected but I will definitely have one installed in a car within a month and that's when the first pics will come out :banana:

Considering the inside size of the flange was similar and honestly the customer actually didn't give a sh1t since it is for a junker, he wasn't fussed.

There was absolutely no warping, not when you weld it I like I do :)

Haha fair enough mate was just curious cause I need to do the same thing to one of my manifolds cause my turbo is t2 not t3 so really just after a second opinion of some that has been there before

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
