I have tried searching but results arent giving me exacts.

My intercooler hose on my gtr has a split in it. Its the one that joins onto the twin turbo pipe. Nissan wanted to sting me $390 ex japan for one, wreckers had nothing.

Just wondering what other people have done to get around this problem. I understand the hard piping kits are out there (cheapest is the autobahn ones for about $300 and goes up from tehre), justjap do a silicone joiner set for $400. I really just want to replace/fix this joiner only and not worry about the full thing.

Im wondering if using a 45 degree silicone joiner would suffice, anyone else done the same. Only problem i have run into is that the standard hose is 3.25" and the long 45 degree joiners are only 3" (there are short 3.25" joiners about).

Any input/help would be fantastic

Have a look on ebay. They have joiners there to join a square to a circle to a triangle and back again. What I mean is there is a lot of joiners out there. Measure your joiner and then find one that fits. Hmm that sounded dirty. Ebay.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
