Hey guys.

Well, after a very long time, and much effort and much p1ss farting about and yadda yadda.

It seems that the way I want to do it simply ain't possible.

It will require hydroforming (high pressure steel shaping) and a lot of time, effort and money to do it.

The price would go up significantly, and we would be back at square one again.

I simply don't have the time to do it.

Im very sorry for all who were keen on getting one, as I was also very keen on having one for my car.

I guess I'll just have to call it. Maybe if I find some time and a different way of doing it, I will give it another go, but not until I have a piece in my hot little hands to work from.

Again, I'm very sorry. This project was meant to be a walk up start and easy, it sure looked that way on the video, but hey. Life ain't always easy, and not being any good at any welding or fabricating, I couldn't really do it myself.

Yogi33 and Halz, please PM me with your account details so I can refund your money to you.

BASS OUT :(

Hi Guys,

I may be able to get these made up. I own part in a Stainless steel merchant business in Nsw, i have asked 1 of my customers to have a look at this. As i sell all the pipes and bends i may be able to get them made up. The only problem i see is that if a front mount intercooler is fitted there may be a few variations to how the hoses (Breathers etc) on the intake pipe are fitted. On mine they have been moved or removed as i have seen on other cars, so if they are made up it will be hard to get it right for every car. Also i sell Aluminium pipe & Aluminium donut halves and may be able to get it cheaper in Aluminium. Will advise ASAP if practical.

Regards

Hi All,

This is not a practical thing to make up as a group buy due to all the variations that different cars may need, eg (airbox position, aftermarket airfilter position & intercooler pipe position. They can be made up on a car to car basis but thats about it as it would be a problem to make them all up then have people saying they dont fit due to the above problems.

TM Autosports in Tuggerah NSW can make them and will be doing my R33 in the near future.

I assume this is the problem Bass was having making these up, it was worth a look at getting them all done together but not practical i dont think due to issues.

Regards

The main issue I was facing was that the inside of the duct is not a common pipe size, making the sue of additional sections of steel pipe to join or hydroforming a nessecity, and making it very expensive, time consuming and difficult.

the price would have gone through the roof, and blah blah blah.

I'm thinking of buying an Apexi Super Suction Kit with all the whizz bangs on it, and then hacking up my stock duct and giving it a go in maybe a different manner, but I have to save up the cash for this expensive kit.

anywhoo. I'll let everyone know if I can do it later.

BASS OUT

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
