I am after this part for my R34 as mine has a hole in it.

Let me know if you have one or know someone who does, and how much you want. Thanks.

Hey bud if your in Melbourne I might know someone that can make you a new one, I just burnt a hole though the same pipe in my R32 at a track day. Found a guy that will repair it, I just need to remove it from the car & take it to him.

Question for you...... How much was involved in removing this from your car? Did you remove it from under the car or did you take all turbo piping off and get it from the top?? I haven't had much of a look at it but its high on my 'to do list'.

I think he quoted me bout $60-80 with a new heat protection sleeve on it. (plus re-gassing), not sure if the price was for just the one pipe.

Cheers

Rob

Please scrounge in the bin if it's not already too late :(

Rob, not sure how hard it was to get the pipe off, the auto electrician who was looking at some other things took it off for me. Said he couldn't replace the hose because of the crimp connection so figured it'd be easier if I just found a replacement. I don't reckon they would've gotten under the car to get it off. I'm not in melb unfortunately or i'd take you up on the offer.

All good Lithius, I had a crack at removing it last night, had to pull most of the intake piping, AFM, airbox and a few other things to get it out. You were right, didn't have to get under the car. I took the damaged one into the wreckers and managed to pick one up for $40 , all I need to do now is put some extra thermal sheathing on it and modify the bracket so its sits further away from the O2 sensor. Still going to see the guy who was going to repair it so I can get some new o-rings and get him to regass it also.

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
