The last 304 3 inch 90's I bought were $25 each.

I usually lobster my bends but the Brobo I have wont cut bigger than 3.5 inch. I have a couple of big power systems to make soon and would have to get mandrels for it but how the hell do people clear speed humps with over 100mm of pipe hanging under the car? I think I will instead make oval tubing, say 3 x 6 inch, hopefully the owners will agree...

Hey guys

got the GTR goin into the exhuast within the next couple of days and trying to get a figure on how much i should be paying...

the set up is a single high mount borg warner on a twinscroll manifold

Basically the work i need done is a

4 inch v-band dump pipe to the cat

plumb the two wastegates into the exhuast

setting up the plumbing from compressor side of the turbo to the intercooler

im guessin stainless will be the way to go?

any input is welcome

cheers

The guy they use is really good, so dont stress over that.

I'd go stainless, it's more costly but when it comes to GTR's the phrase "Do it once, do it right" always springs to mind

You didnt do very well in maths at school right? Double? Lol

For example a 90 3" mandrel in ss is 3 times the price of ms.

Please post pics of the completed job so we can all drool.

Yeah they cost about $35-$40 if you buy them at a wholesaler

Retail somewhere about $60 ofr a 90 bend

If you can provide me details of your stainless pipe supplier I would greatly appreciate it. I'm clearly paying too much from Tubesales. I only buy small quantities but if you can get them at half the price then it would be worth my while getting them freighted up here. I do a fair bit of custom exhaust work here.

Just finished a 4inch full system on a 34GTR. He supplied the manifold and gate etc and it uses that flexible stuff you guys are talking about. Looks like rows hooked into each other. Seems to work pretty well and the heat coating we had done didn't affect it negatively and its strength is good too. Makes wastegate plumbing very easy.

For other options, we use a 2inch flexible bellows - they are like a braid outer with a spring inside to bend. Makes aligning Vbands a sexual experience

wow when i get the stainless bends of my mate ( not sure of the supplier it was only 10-20 dollars dearer then MS ?) 304 grade ? anyway my friend has the flexi tubing on the end of his wastegate pipe so he can plumb it in or leave it vent to the atmosphere works great and excellent idea!!

Well thats it isnt it.. definatly dont want the job to look like sh!t and i dont wanna have to come back and do it again

Do u know the name exhaust shop they use Steve? have u delt with them before?

Ill go the stainless cause i will be happier with the look no doubt

will be asking about this flexible hose as well Dan

Yavuz is booked out for a while yet.... whats another 3 weeks after already having the car off the road for 15 months :thumbsup:

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
