Yes that is what I mean. I don't understand why it is that uncommon as most information on the topic says that it's a good way to reduce the length of the inlet tract as having the plenum modified to face forward affects that incoming air's distribution amongst the cylinders.

yes thats correct but i havent seen any kits with it so i assume its custom and hence must be made up and therefore not often for sale - but hey we can hope, have you got the rest of the piping? do you know what material u r after - mild, stainless, aluminium?

btw you might recall I grabbed one of those rb20 eproms from u a while ago, havent hooked it up yet, waiting to get another ecu to play around with...

I have this setup on my R32. I got it custom made on the Gold coast. Any reputable fabricator should only take a day or two to make it for you but they will need your car. one other thing, I had to relocate my pcv.

Best bet..go down to a place like Liverpool Exhaust and grab some mild steel elbows. Grab a 180deg bend, and 3 x 90 deg bends all in 2.5" (2 will do it but better be safe then sure) Should cost about $80 all up.

Then bury yourself in the garage for 6 hours cutting and trial fitting. Once your done run down to local boilermaker/welder and get it welded up for a case of beer:)

So for max $150 you can get the pipe made up exactly how you want it:) And ceramic coating will cost about $60 on top of that...or you can paint it etc etc for cheaper.

Just be sure that if you go stainless that you have the right tools for cutting it etc, its much harder to work with then mild steel bends.

Otherwise your up for a custom farication, and you will be up for at least 4 hours labour + materials.:) ie more like $300 and then you have to be sure that they will ensure the fit clears the oil filler cap, your strut brace, breather hoses etc etc.

Ahh, Cheers for that Troy

I need to make a new retun pipe for my new GTR bonnet to go on.

The old bonnet needed some of the reinforcement chopped to close the bonnet with the pipe going over the radiator, then up the j - pipe...I dont wanna chop the aluminium :D

Ive got a new project now :D

      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.

      Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
