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

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
