unfortunatley not Andrew lol

that really needs to be laser cut, then CNC milled from the look of it - though im tempted to get the file for the 1uz to T56 file and see what their machining options are, i do have contacts for all this stuff now.

even if the laser cutters did the main work then etched the surface for the milling part you could spend some time doing it manually on a mill.

The turbo has bolts atm, would like to keep that if possible....as for the dimensions to the outside...it doesn't really matter, but I would like the center hole for the pipe to suit 3" mild steel pipe rather than 81mm

Chris, go to 10mm plate is what i've been advised by all the exhaust guys.

They see warping issues after use with 5/6mm stuff.

As for gearbox adapters, why the T56? It's a clunky as f**k gearbox. If I could have easily, I would have avoided using it altogether with my LS1 and stuck with the 5Speed.

If you've got a Toyota engine, get the V160 Box.

just did some measuring on matt's old dump pipe (same flange) it is 12mm from the centre hole to the edge and 10mm bolt holes.

Did notice though that his piping is 76mm OD...so not sure what to do there as I think 81mm will be too loose?

V160 = $4500-5000 2nd hand

T56 $1500 2nd hand

If I ever feel rich...would you be able to do one of these?

i bought the 1uz one yesterday - turns out its 3 pieces for the 1uz and they recommend steel - so i'll be cutting it out next week :P

lucky we have some 12mm plate lying around :D

yeah exactly

hardest part is going to be welding the pieces together without the 12mm plate warping - might have to bolt it up to the bell housing and weld it bolted up and low heat as its under compression so doesnt have to be a strong weld.

    • I like they don't raise their hands into the air when they shift their sequential boxes, seems to be a thing here in Australia lol...
    • I'm not normally one for posting random videos, but I thought we'd all appreciate the honesty about how broken our cars tend to be lol. Genuine skyline life here.   
    • New CAS just turned up from NZ Wiring. Looks like a nice bit of gear.  So, yeah. Triggered, bro. Realised I may as well do the cam belt while mucking about with it so will order one of them.
    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
