anyway, stop hijacking my thread, u bloody tamil tiger!!!

haha...like a tiger...*roooaaaar* :lol:

geezes....$600 for piping...that's more than my intercooler alone :eek: (33 GTR FMIC)

I was just thinking mild with hi-temp paint on it for myself :)

the piping came in 3 pieces so it saves time on welding and adjust etc!

If u were to buy 2.5inch pipe get it coated and then mess around with labour of getting the right angles etc it comes close if not more than 600!

pipe from turbo to intercooler intake, pipe from intercooler exit to engine bay, and pipe from that to intake!

then dont forget about all the hose clamps, silicon hoses and rubber fittings!!!

u sure franks is just gonna let u pull off that off just so u can get a copy of it??

I know if some1 asked me to pull my front bar and all clamps, hoses and piping off just to copy my piping, i would b asking what was it in for me!! :)

yup b'cos he has another car to drive for awhile and I'm making a box for my apexi cone filter, so he'll just grab a copy of that off me. :P

hmm what does the box u r making look like now! I had a partition in place when i had the stock cooler and piping and now it is usless since i have heapes more room to play with now!

I need to get a nice funnel up where the stock cooler was with sum piping into the engine bay through the stock cooler holes!!

I haven't made it yet, gonna make some templates from cardboard, then trace it onto the aluminium sheets I got at home, bring to a laser cutting place and get 'em cut out, then welded together and powercoated flat black so it (hopefully) will look stockish and the cone filter will be hidden.

EDIT: this is for a 34...would it be same fit as a 33?

ahhh, looks like the hardwork has already been done?!?!?!

will have a closer look tonight.

i think you will find on the 34 that the radiator overflow is in the way - as it is on the same side as the airbox [LH P/S]. Whereas on the 33 the airbox is near the battery [RH D/S]

that template is if u have the stock cooler and piping, so u gotta modify it abit with fmic. in r33 the battery is in the boot so it aint in the way of the airbox! :)

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
