DSC_0288.JPG.2d612e8f3a4019abce5b21dd450f2561.JPGCheck the tube out. (from the Dennis) Intercooler to manifold intake pipe on the charge air or boost side were 4" o/d. Because the intercooler outlet and the manifold were cast pipes the I/d of the cast pipe was approximately the same as the I/d of a 3 1/2 inch 16 guage tube. They have had problems with the 4" Ali tubes being worn through and cracking from the compressor lines of the Cummins engine wearing through and losing boost pressure and rattling. I left the tube running off the intercooler at 4" like a plenum then reduced it to 3 1/2 to clear the chassis rail and compressor tubes. Still had to press a flat in it for clearance at 3 1/2 inch o/d s/s. We had to lift the chasis from the leafs just to be able to manoeuvre the tube in with a porter power because the 2ton forklift couldn't lift it. Developed 3 tubes from 316 s/s, done the drawings and jigged it up. 2 days. Tighter than a nuns I'm there. Mental.DSC_0292.JPG.934e33e1b2456435ed5f1f9d61aedce4.JPG


Hey if i were to ask nicely what would I be looking at roughly for you to make me up a intake pipe (replace the plastic/rubber one) with i nice one like this. Your fab work looks awesome

Thanks. At work we sell all the s/s m/s Ali tubing and bends. Plus all the silicone hoses. Clamps, reducers and what not. I'd have to have a look at what you want then get you the gear at cost pricing. We only do heavy duty or mainly diesel stuff at work and I wouldn't recommend the labour costs! But would be happy to have a look and try to help you out! I've got heaps of stuff to fix on the 33 but going into work on the weekend bums me out. Is it 3" piping?
It would be from turbo to air filter chances are would be same as your 33?


Scottynm35 makes them from Ali n ships them over. He has a jib set up to suit most models. He also puts in small return pipes if required for blow-off valves and whatever else is required. I'd reccomend waiting til you replace turbo to reduce modifying twice. I got mine from his aswell as hundreds of others

Ouch!

Ouch!


Sorry didn't mean to cut you out, just thought it might be more effort getting angles aligned with his car etc where someone has already figured it out and charges decent price for ppl on Sau.

Sorry mate

All good. I've got 3" Ali off the intercooler and 3" s/s In the engine bay. The 304 s/s is more heat resistant and less prone to cracking than aluminium. The aluminium will get a better smooth penetration on the inside of the tubes compared to stainless unless you purge weld it. Also aluminium is lighter. Or you would have to use different s/s filler rods that we don't have at work anyway. No cut out at all. I've still got loads of jobs on the car that need to be done at work and can't bring myself to head in on the weekends. I did my apprenticeship at opposite lock/outback accessories, then k&n fabrication as the foreman. I've been at exhaust fabricators/ engine protection equipment for 18 years as the foreman. If someone else has it jigged up for cheap go for it.
That looks awesome, only difference on mine is wouldnt need the maf. If you could give me a ball park figure (you can pm me, private message) or just post here as im sure[mention=143902]shoey85[/mention] and[mention=143051]manne[/mention] might also be keen?


Nah I'm good mate, mine doesn't need fancy pipes

    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
    • Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol. 
    • I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
