hey y'all

been a while since i've been around... hope all is goin well with SAU Vic, i will make it to a meeting one day, once work shifts permit. Always manage to get a tuesday shift somehow...

anyways... i'm interested in getting a custom 3" catback exhaust done... i don't really like any of the aftermarket catbacks for the R34, and i have a very specific look in mind. Already got 3" front/dump and 3" cat, just wanna finish it off...

so yeah, just wondering if anyone knows of a rough cost for a custom catback job? And maybe some good places to call?

cheers y'all, and take care

$1100?? damn! i didn't think it was going to be that much. I know you said could get a better price, but that seems like a FULL 3" system price...

hmm... would you recommend i even give them a call??

Friend of mine had an Exhaust installed at Trufit not long ago and the guy was exceptionally helpful... Let us try a big rang of exhausts and also was very reasonable on his price... Would go down and see him at least to just see what he has to say... And check out his cars damn....

i think the Blitz was one of those angled kinda ones?? i know it's better for flow... but i want one that sits straight... but i could be wrong on the model..

thanks for the Trufit tip... i'm in Sandy, so it's pretty close. Def give them a call..

if anyone else of some places, that would be great ;)

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
