I'm undergoing the same task ATM blake .

Although im makeing a Low mount similar to Nissans

If u look at te factory Nissan there runners aren't even length !

Also tips I've been given is after its all tacked cut the runners back of and weld the flange it's a lot easier to get a neat weld there

Weld the colecter first when u make it

Also when welding the head flange bolt it down to something Iike 100x100x5 should help prevent warping

I'm makin mine out of 36nb pipe that is 3mm wall 304 stainless

You can buy the merger and the collector which I will be doing comes with flange and all that's the hardest iv heard and they look smick stainless ay sounds good as I'll make my down pipe stainless. How much where materials if you don't mind me asking

Man I got the material thru my work and was under 100 cause boss loves me hahahah I have 1 1/2 meters of straight and 9 bends man honestly it would prob be about 200 roulghly

If I had to pay ful price probably woulda went mild there is a company on eBay that sell steamy pipe bends u get like 20 for 60 bucks hahahah then get pipe to suit it

And I have seen them merges on eBay for 90 bucks man they look ok just depends on wall thickness

    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
