Ive been looking at twin turbo pipes for months and months. they range from the nismo $2500 kit to the cheap,thin (Mod city)$300 kit.

Nothing reasonably priced and good quality.

So i decided to make a kit with a mate (The welder)

I have used 80mm x 3mm and 60mm x 2mm aliminium, lobster back style.

Ive made sure thay there is nothing to modify and the std airbox/air intake fits. Ive designed it for a R34 GTR, but id imagine it will fit any RB26

Ive also made sure there is a lip at the joins so the silicone doesnt blow off.

there was plenty of time spent designing not to mention the time to weld it.

this one was the first, a prototype to make sure it fits and did what it was supposed to do.

please feel free to tell me what you think and any improvements i could make, etc

absolute win! looks great. just polish it up ;)

lobster back in titanium FTMFW!

Shit yeah, when mine gets back on the road that's the setup I'm going for on my twin entry ARC FMIC.... *drooooooollllls*

thanks for the input guys, this one is the first (prototype)the next one will have smoother curves with a more consistant bend piece sizes.

ANDZ, i didnt buy a kit for that reason they are $1600+, also you cannot fit the std airbox/intake panel and i want to keep the bay looking fairly std looking.

i totally agree the best stuff is made in someones shed, custom all the way.

MIKE, the lobster back pipes in the pic look great, those consistant pieces are what im after, but most of the gain to be had is changing the std twin turbo pipe, creating better flow.

im starting my second pipe this week and will post up pics on the 2nd, improved set

cheers mike

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
