G.I.jonas Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 As some of you may know i have a vg30dett in my 280.One problem i have is that i need to make my own downpipes like the ones pictured only different,now why is it that there are all kinds of sources for blank 5 bolt turbo outlet flanges but no one offers the 4 bolt flanges even though many companies make downpipes in 4 bolt,IVE LOOKED EVERYWHERE!!!.I realistically could make my own but it would be nice for once if i didnt have to make something,and i cant be the only one who has needed these. http://www.z1motorsports.com/imagemagic.php?img=images/Z1-downpipes4bolt.jpg&w=400&h=267&page=popup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtcookson Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I'm searching around a bit... but from what I've seen at the Z32 forums, its not likely you'll find much for those engines that requires any DIY work. It almost makes me sick going to those forums, the majority only buy stuff that's already made for the car and never do much of anything themselves as far as fab work goes. Not that it is a bad thing nor does that cover all of them... but the majority. Coming from cars where pretty much any mods were completely DIY its almost hard to buy stuff like that when you can do it yourself cheaper most of the time. Anyways, like I mentioned, I'll keep an eye out for some and let you know if anyone does indeed make some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.I.jonas Posted March 15, 2007 Author Share Posted March 15, 2007 I hear you on that,everything z32 related seems to be bolt on,which i am very much against..well unless its something i like and it is cheaper than i could make it:rolleyesg.Oh well,i want stainless anyway and the chances of somthing like that is not too good,maybe i will do a cad design for one and have e-machine shop pump a bunch out and i'll sell them if there is even a market for them,unfortunately you have to get like 25 of something made for the price to be reasonable..eeeh ^&%* it i'll just make some lol put the old plasma cutter to work.

mtcookson Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I still need to get a plasma cutter myself. I'd probably be making all sorts of things if I had one of those. What's really bad about those forums is if you try to talk about doing anything that requires anymore than bolting on... they'll flame you to no end. A few of the guys will be like, hey that's awesome and such but yeah... I don't go there very often at all now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrayZee Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Do you know anyone that can draw it up on auto-cad? If so I could have them made up for you (water-jet cutter) I could also get them drawn up, but you'd have to send me a gasket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
