why was it a bad idea???

have you lowered it yet? your car sits even higher than mine :nyaanyaa:

Waiting on some more cash to lower it, Looking at just lowering the front..

Bad idea cause i got it back from my Installer and he explained everything bout the system, Has remote start which Cant be used unless car is locked, Cant be used when door is open, cant be used without handbrake on.. otherwise ill bugger up the starter possibly more. :down:

Pretty much was told worse system to put into an import. so ill be looking at changing it..... once lowered.

Whiteline sway bars F & R thanks to Chef :-)

R34 GTT brakes F & R

Rolled rear guards to stop scrub scrub from new wheels.

All in the space of 2 hours due to hoist and a full workshop........ :D

looks good :)

got a video of the sound??

refitted the cat today, and gave the pipes a quick coat of heatproof paint.

Was it because you didn't tighten it enough or because the line is split?

nah i tightened it, before putting it on, so that wasnt the problem, the join just basically wasnt sealing properly..

You didn't put PTFE tape on the JIC fittings did you? If you do it can stop the fitting from sealing correctly.

How much did you pay? The $500 ones with the foggies?

Going thru Streeter I hope...7% commission vs 14%

$114.thumbsup.gif No, I know the one you're talking about, that one was VERY nice, but I would have to paint anyway, so a couple of little marks didn't worry me. I've just got to fit some mesh in the opening.

Ended up using IM, as I spoke to Jesse last week; whilst his commission is less, his container cost was higher, and the end price was noticeably more on an identical part. I would definitely use him on Air Freight though, great to deal with.

how much to make me a set?

all up pipes and stuff only cost $50, but i spent 4 hours welding and blending and grinding.

but that is only for the rear tips, you still have to make the brackets(in the right spot) and attach the flanges to both the front section and the rear tips.

The easiest way to make them up is on car, that way the clearances to fuel tank, tow bar, rear suspen sion and rear bar is all okay.

it would also be soooooo much easier to do 3 inch inlet into twin 2.5 inch tips. the next set i do will be like this. i'm making some for an r32 gtst and an s14 next.

I think any exhaust shop should be able to make them up and fit them for under $150.

I made a stainless set I sold for $250, back to the flange so he could remove and refit for track days etc. They came up great, not my thing (I like stealth) but the look is perfect. 3 inch pipes are the go, you just need to work out the merge.

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • 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
