yeah have heard of this happening, what some people have done is put cut pipe in half and put a metal insert with 2 hoseclamps keeping it together

i have this

its about a 150mm long piece of 3inch exhaust pipe, then cut your stock intake pipe (i took out 2 of the ridges) and put it back together with some hose clamps

:cheers:well good news my end finally got my act together car is booked in for next week

lookn for a good place to buy engine dress up parts too as the gt kit come with braided line ext just want everything to match any help/ pics would be nice

cheers and :thanks:

I am, Ben wasn't; I don't think he's a big fan of the old Trust style joins on those GREX coolers. We replaced the oil line that had that extra joiner, too dogdey for me.

Also it was an SR20 oil filter that fits on there. Makes me a little sad that I have to poison my RB with a part from that terrible engine.

Those older style earls joins work fine theyre just not mil-spec.

Yeah the joined line wasnt done by me, was done when i sold it the first time and then they gave it back after cutting it up cos they couldnt make it fit. Dickheads.

ah well, we just binned it and got a brand new one.

Today was a very busy night!

R32 running again and back on the road. Turns out my coilpack loom had been tampered with but is now rewired! Then I had two fouled spark plugs. Slight adjustmentment to timing and I am now running with the Splitfires.

Also managed to get front wipers going at last!

Good to hear mate :D

What was the go with the loom? who'd tampered with it? previous owner or wildlife?

Appeared to be yet another previous owners dodgy work. Wasn't wired correctly(possibly only just twisted wire together) and I may have just pulled apart whatever was taped together. So had nothing going to front 3 coilpacks.

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
