Hey guys,

Just looking to get some feedback from any of you who may have got an exhaust fabricated locally, where you got it done, roughly how much and how satisfied you were with the job. I'm looking at getting a full 3" exhaust in the next month or so, and 2nd hand cat-back Jap systems aren't readily available for my poor JZX100... And the brand new ones are looking at costing around $1100! So custom is looking very attrictive...

Thanks.

Damn....TourerV... Nice :P

Powatone did a good job on my last car, and they were pretty good blokes too. However have heard mixed reactions about them lately. City Exhaust have done some really nice work with intercooler piping on some car's i've seen, so maybe them as well. Good luck with it, and hopefully we'll hear the car coming from now on so there's time to turn and gawk at one of the rarer imports :P

I got mine done at City Exhaust. cost me $600 for a 3" dump and 3" cat. i already had a cat-back and a muffler, so that's why it was a bit cheaper.

very happy with the results, brought the dB down below 90 (just) but still sounds really good.

Hmmm, I must have had my intercooler piping done when they were under different management/owners (City Exhaust) cause the work that was done when I had my car there was bloody shocking !!, oh, plus the fact they took my car for a 13km 'test'....

I've been to PowaTone twice now and are very happy with their work.

The Stagea recently got a full 3 inch turbo back system done at powatone and it cost me $900 (minus cat). The work is top notch. They may not be the cheapest around, but the work is good and they won't 'test drive' your car.

Had my exhaust done by Phil at Skyline Performance, beautiful job, couildnt be happier with the quality

My mate had Phil build up a 3sgte motor (spent about $8k on the block & head alone !!) for him, and the quality of work he did was nothing short of amazing.

Ever seen the INSIDE of a block and a knife edged crank end polished so well you could see your reflection ?

heres a manifold phil at skylines performance made from scratch for my GTR!!!!

Powatone is probably the best but you have to make sure you get raff to do it as he is the pro out there, so thats where the conflicting stories come from!!

I have seen some real nightmare jobs come from city exhuast but i have also seen some top quality sh.t aswell again i think you have to get the right bloke to do it not the apprentice using the electric arc!!!!haha

Out of those three you probs will get a good job so its up to you!!!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.

      I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
