Due to the amount of interest in these front pipes on the forum i thought i would organise a group buy.

For this to go ahead we need the following:

Minimum 5 sets

50% deposit prior to order (other 50% paid when goods are picked up)

The price for these will be $1,100 delivered to Sydney all taxes/shipping etc included. For people outside the Sydney area that cannot pickup the only additional charge will be shipping from Sydney to you.

Please bear in mind that while internet companies may quote a cheaper price for these once you include shipping costs and taxes they are condsiderably more expensive to the tune of $1,400 to $1,500 by the time they are here.

I will leave this open for people until the end of this month (June) for people to express interest, if there is not 5 people willing to pay a deposit on 30 June the buy will not go ahead.

This group buy has been made possible buy Advan Performance so you are buying from a reputable company in Australia that will provide receipts.

Here is a pic of the front pipes but please note this is only half the front the pipes.... the rear piece is not pictured in this pic. If someone wants pics of the complete pipes post here and i will get some.

Andrea, Richard here. we have met a couple of times at WSID and weekend before last at Advan (I drive a gunmetal 32GTR).

hmm, that really is a good price for those delivered, considering how much they are even when buying from a backyard net business

ATM I am just tossing up between going Big Single, or sticking with low mount twins. If I decide to stick with twins I think I may get these to keep me happy in the mean time. Would it be too much trouble to get a fitting price from Advan for us?

Thanks,

Richard

Hi Richard :D

I have tried to get the best possible price for them and i think i have. Better than any internet backyard company i have found.

I am in the same situation as you deciding if i should stick with twins or go for the single, it's a tough choice :confused: I really love these pipes and if i get a set i think i will cry if i ever scrape them on a speed hump.

I will get an price estimate on fitment for everyone as a guide. Because the turbos have to come off there will be a few hours involved.

yeah, it is a very nice price.

That would be great on fitting estimate :D

They certainly are the nicest looking GTR dumps/fronts I've ever seen.

Cheers,

Richard

I have had requests for details of what you get so here is a pic of the complete system, nothing else is required.

Remember only 50% ($550) is required in a months time and the rest after the goods arrive which would be approx 3-4 weeks after order is placed so it's the perfect way to spend your tax refund cheque :O

:wavey:

:)

I was just wondering if you had any word yet on a fitting estimate? Doesn't have to be a firm price for us to beat them about the head with, just an estimate would be fine :D

Thanks.

Ok, Due to the fact that the turbos have to come off to fit dump pipes on a GTR there is quite a bit of labour involved unfortunatly as well as costs of coolant etc due to the turbos coming off. So, you would be looking at a cost of approx $700 fitment including coolant etc. I have no idea how that compares to other shops though.

that seem reasonably fair if the turbos have to be removed. If that's the case it would definately be at least a whole days labour.

I will consider what to do... perhaps it may be worthwhile to spend another few K and get turbos at the same time...

Thanks for chasing that up. I'll have a think and let you know before the deadline.

While your doing to turbos, its probably worth doing the manifolds ... :)

Its a shit of a job to change the dump pipes, but its quite possible for the home mechanic over a few days if you feel like saving the cash.

LW.

Will these bolt onto the standard R32 GTR turbos ? How about the cat at the other end? If so put me down for a set - should be in perfect time for my next trip out to Racepace.

Andrea, you certainly are tempting me. I have been thinking about going to big single route, purely because I love the sound of an external wastegate. but my head tells me i'll be better off with a set of 2530s or similar.

I will get back to you before your deadline.

thanks.

No problem Richard, If yourself an lwells decide to purchase then we only need one more for it to go ahead, no pressure or anything lol :jk:

I too love the sound of an external gate but the power that can be made from smallish twins with the right setup is hard to look past, the legalities of the screamer is what worries me.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
