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!!!

      Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
