Soon to come i'm goin to be making steam pipe manifolds mainly to suit Rb 25/26 and sr20 

just thought i'd post up a pic of my quick job on the dropsaw which i made to give my machine shop an idea of  how i want the pipes for my merge collectors machined

Noice! How did you go about welding the otherside? Got some more piccies?

other side was just migged.. thats the only pic i took of that one as it was just quickly cut shut and migged so i could explain to my engineering shop how i needed the pieces machined so that i could make the perfect collector to go onto my manifolds that i'm goin to be making and selling to suit rb and sr range of motors, next ones i put up will be Tigged and providing the engineering shop gets it right... they will be perfect :) 

what did you use to hold the pipe while you cut it? i got this problem at work, the way the pipe needs to be clamped is beyond the capabilities of the machine. 4" grinder ftmfl :)

that was just on a drop saw... held by hand and "guesstimating" the angles, i removed the clamping setup to do those...

oh haha, yeah im not that game, we've got a brobo and a big f*ck off bandsaw, not keen on hand holding pipe under either haha

was about a meter long piece of pipe.. cut both ends, than cut them off and do the same thing.. f**k holding a short piece of pipe while cutting it on the drop saw

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
