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!!!

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?

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! :)

      Rusty roof repair

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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 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.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      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.
