!!!!Need An GOOD Priced Exhaust Shop For Fitting A Dump/Front Combo Pipe!!!!!!!!


Recommended Posts

Guest RedLineGTR

Okay, I need peoples help I need a dump/front combo pipe fitted to my r33 gtst, most exhaust places say they can fit it no problem some are willing to charge me more since they aren’t sure of the time it will take etc, some exhaust shops say they have worked on r33's before lalalala and have done work for other performance shop, but I have had little things done by these (recommended places by performance workshops) and I have gone away with a product that I’m not happy with.

I need someone around this side of town (chadstone, dandenong etc) that:

- Knows R33 Skylines or skylines in general.

- Has fitted a dump/front pipe combo or something custom before.

- Has half decent prices (as long as the job gets done well).

- Not located on the otherside of town.

Any recommendations and possible names of people that have some knowledge and some good service, would be very grateful!!!!...unless someone has done it before and has the tools the get it done??

Thanks for your time. Cheers Rob

Thanks for that meshmesh, if all else fails i will have to drive quite a bit from where i live, hopefully someone will have one around my area if not then i'll pack my picnic and have a drive to Campbellfield. Thanks for your post, Cheers Rob

Rob are you after a split dupe pipe / wastegate pipe pff the turbo? or do you already have one.

i believe the rb25 turbo has the wastegate flap in the dump pipe so you can only get a 3" flared pipe from the end of the cast section to the cat.

Until now ;) i have a friend who owns and exhaust shop and is designing custom split dump pipes with seperate wastegate pipe and the wastegate flap inside it. Hel also does turbo manifolds etc and is very good we send all our cars there and always happy customers :).

rob speak to me on msn if you don't understand what i just posted lol

or Call Exhaust Worx

97611124

Les is the owner there.

But its in Bayswater but you know all the good workshops are in the south /east / eastern suburbs :D

cheers

I already have one, i have looked at both but found the prices to be the main difference.

I have a flared pipe so to speak, the only split ones i have seen have been in stainless steel (worries about it cracking) and the price range was abit too high, the split dump even in mild steel would have good benifits as compaired to the flared one but, found a good price for this one and the split type dump wouldnt make too much of a difference in such mild modifications atm.

Until now :D i have a friend who owns and exhaust shop and is designing custom split dump pipes with seperate wastegate pipe and the wastegate flap inside it. Hel also does turbo manifolds etc and is very good we send all our cars there and always happy customers :).

Ah sweet, someone to talk to about some future projects etc and maybe get some prices.

rob speak to me on msn if you don't understand what i just posted lol

Thanks for the reply :) :headspin:

exhaust shop  

try Matt... Pushead got him to install his dump/front pipe combo.

matt dosent work their anymore..moved on somewhere...might go to DAALDER exh. in Box Hill but wasn't too confident in the conversation at hand.

well i can reccommentd:

Blinky's Brakes and Exhaust in Dandenong (sth gippsland highway)...

they did my and coco69's intercooler piping and gave me a price $300 cheaper than ice performance! trust me they are cheap and did a fantastic job.

Ask for stuart and tell him Warren sent you (the guy with the blue r32 that got his intercooelr piping done)

good luck!

PS my dad and i fitted my front/dump by driving onto car ramps and doing it fron there. hard work but free! another option if you are good with a spanner or two...

Do it yourself and save $$$ Its just a coupla bolts and an oxy sensor. I watched mine be professionally installed (30 mins... if that) and was disgusted when I got the bill.

I have tried, but you need some specific sockets that are nice and thin, i had a look in a car store to see what they have, found some that would work but i would end up spending nearly the cost of the install itself. Cheers Rob

Thats the biggest argument for doing it yourself! Next time you need to install some hardware under the hood the tools will already be there and pay for themselves! If the tools are cheaper, you save money. Even if the tools are only $1 cheaper you're still going to save money (I mean to sound like a tight arse, I'm making a point). You'll also know with 100% certainty that the job has been done properly, and working on the car is fun!!! :cheers:

the way things a going i probably will :) (its all your fault :jk: ) when i was doing it myself i pretty much got all the bolts off except for 1-2 bolts which i couldnt reach. You’ve inspired me !!! lolz

Anyone need some dump/front pipes fitted by the way??? if i get mine on :) lolz

Guest RedLineGTR
be careful though...

we snapped a bolt goping into the turbo and had to drill it out - BIG pain in the ass!

thanks for the heads up, heard about that happening a little while back...when i tryed it myself sprayed some WD40 just in case and pretty much most of the bolts came off fine except the ones i couldnt get too :) Cheers Rob

my issue was:

tightening bolt... tightening bolt... tightening bolt... just one more turn... SNAP!

followed by abusive swearing!

but lucky it was the bolt that was easiest to access.

also because we drove the car up onto car ramps we could get to 3 bolts from the bottom REAL easy. might be worth a try.

good luck!

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
