Well mate, if you like, we can do a dodgy, I pretty much have 2 complete piping kits for a gtir, we can always look at cutting them to fit with a shit load of silicon hose and clamps and make "custom made" pipe for it, plus I believe we could mock up some brackets of our own

Thats just asking for trouble, "custom Piping usually ends in leaks and pressure drop due to less than optimal pipe length and bends.

so is it carseldine this week?

Not sure what does everyone want to do? Me I want to play Gears 3 but I have to wait till thursday so I can co-op that shit.

i'm easy, as i pretty much in between both morayfield and carsaldine.

as for the customer pipe, this was basically saying that, if bodo really absolutely wanted to have a FMIC installed with little to no money, i have a FMIC plus pipe that we could cut and patch with hoses, this is by far not the best thing, as like you said would end up in leaks, but would be possible, as bodo would only need to get the hoses and clamps, i can supply the FMIC and pipe work, but in the end it is up to bodo as what he wants, these ideas are purely ideas and quite possibly bad ones, but ideas none the less.

Custom pipping may not be all it's worked up to be, specially if you are joining several pieces (silicone joitns cost). Might as well buy monsta pipping, or search ebay for the right length etc.

FMIC Ordered, hopefully here end of next week!

Anyone keen to make the meet weds/thursday? either of those days is fine this week, but coming weeks i will have to push thursdays (the mises)

im up for capers castledine tonight. a bit of a drive instead of just hanging around moronfield here. hopefullly chris can join us

im aware that doing a bodgy intercooler with far to many joins would be a dodgy. im just intrigued as too how well it can be made to fit. all those piping kits are aluminium arent they?? if so i have a welder that can fix that. :) i dont do bodgy, but if i can make something instead of buying it, i'll always take that option.....either because ima cheap skate or.....i dunno :whistling:. im sure the best possible intercooler piping length is, the shortest possible way. without going to many sharp bends. i'll see what Joe has there, and if its possible it will be a whole weekend project to piece together i think.

Well mate, I'll be going down to the folks not this weekend but the following, so I'll pick up everything I have, that's pipe hoses and cooler, I believe the pipes are not aluminum, I think there some sort or light steel with crome coating, basically the same as what I have on the line.

However, I might go down this weekend and pick them up as the boy is with the grandparents and I have a feeling I'll need to get him, I'll let you know mate, but I think I have enough pipe to do the kit for you

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
