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

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 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.

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

Nah i understand what your saying if i need anymore info i will msn you, at school atm ;)

Thanks for the reply :) :headspin:

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

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!

      I drive the Tiguan much harder than the Skyline in all conditions, because it just grips and hooks, unlike the R33 shit box

      The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.

      When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.

      Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.

      This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
