I know old mate but it still bent in with no wire as the rubber bends in with bottom fixing so I had to put the wire back in that area but bend it backwards a bit.Quote:

Well my brother owes me a hundred!
Current temp 38.4.
Just went down the street with the gq and 4th gear all the way up the monster hill, then my hill straight after that up skyline.
Temps got to a 2/3 pushing it hard, happy days!
I had those temps pre ic in blistering summer days up that hill too.
Doesn't get much hotter and steeper than that... Easy money!Quote:

Drives like a dream!
Still need to cut that return off and plenty of clearance by the looks of it. Ill make up some mud flaps today and do some flexing to find out!
Amazing!! The rear barn door just opens up!

Just realised why the barn door can open.
Ferrets light bracket as a spacer. Win!!
Crap this is awesome Andy! The beast is transforming! Just need your rear bar on now to finish the look.
These blurry pictures make your GQ look a beauty. Lol.

Long term goal is to obviously run 3" into the manifold but I think the standard manifold is only 2 1/2" so long term goal would be custom manifold.
Anyways....:)
The 40mm straight pipe and flange that connects to the elbow.
Does anyone know where or if I can get a 3" straight threw elbow to the inlet manifold with no flange from the pipe side of course.
Understand that the inlet manifold is 2 1/2" but just to stop the crazy 3" ic piping back to 40mm then to 2 1/2".
Yep!....^^^^ this post needs a photo ;)
If you get stuck mate yell out.
Thanks mate, was just thinking I can also just find that original straight up flange pipe from the naturally aspirated engine and put a silicone elbow to that.Quote:

Mine has a tapped hole in it...Quote:

Im not 100% sure about that hole though, I'll pull it out tomorrow to check but yeah they are thin metal
Easy to weld a thread into it.... George can do it..
That'd be great, thank you mate!!!Quote:
