extractors fitted?

I need to know a good place, how much it will cost, and how long they should need the car for.

I went to a place this morning and they said they need the car for the whole day, and it would cost about 200-300!!!!!!!!!

I said yeah ook ill be back in 30 mins... He He

I thaught that is should only take like 3 or so hours, and it should cost $100?

Please give your thaughts..

Thanks

my guys did mine in under an hour, coz it was just a bolt on extractor... mind you N/A so no turbos n stuff to fiddle with... charged me $20 habib rates. Unfortunately the shops called Tuffy Exhausts 5 doors down from my parent's house in Syd so that wouldn't help.

they will need 3 hours for a VERY simple reason.

If you are driving your car to the exhaust place, then the exhaust is going to be hot (obviously) so most places will let it sit and cool before they work on it as a policy for safety etc.

Last thing you want is a worker with a burnt arm because an manifold slipped.

so 3 hours is reasonable, but the price is not.

someone here might be able to do it for ya anyways.

but do you need a new pipe to meet up with your cat???

or do the extractors bolt up to the exhaust you already have (un-likely)

If you need a new pipe, then 3 hours, $300, is cheap

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
