Guys after many hours. I found these on ebay. U reckon these are cheap?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...&category=33741

All the places in aus i rang said the 1 inch of silicone hose was like 15-20 bux. I cant vaouch for the quality of the ebay stuff but it seems i can get like 40 incehs for like 100 bux and 18 bux delivery whihc is like much cheaper than here.

Also found reducers for like 11 bux each. Her in AUS I was quoted like 40 bux a reducer. WTF :bs!:

Unless u guys can get me better im gonna go with these. When i start this project.

hey i noticed you fellas using mild steel piping, im currenltly in the process of removing this from my car after it has rusted and is blowing chuncks of shit into the engine, how are you guys getting around this?

waldo - did you paint the inside of the pipe as well ? I think I might try and paint the inside aswell.

A second set of hands does wonders.

To put the front mount on yourself, heres how i did it. sit on front for the bar with legs extended and place cooler on your knees. bend knees to lift cooler up and bolt it in. This was soooooooooo gheettooooo.

Well the cooler is on now on my car. will take pics.

anyone that wants to weld the pipes together yourself * hint * have lots of practice first.

I botch my job up, I used an arc welder $109 from repco * im poor, if i could get a mig i would *. so the rest of the welding was just to join the pipes together to hold and I placed the silicon hose over the top and bold it down.

I will also use the welder to put a lip on the pipes so that its harder to slip off.

pipes all up was $110 from livo exhuast

3#-> 2.5# reducer hose @ $25 each X 2- Shift perfomance

2.5 3inch hose @ @ 20 Each

t-bolt clamps @ $13 each X 12

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
