Hi Folks,

 

Just some advice, need to replace the pipes as one of them is starting to

split on my tt, can anyone tell me what the differance is on these two types

that are listed on ebay ?

 

 

First one

Second One

 

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-300ZX-TWIN-TURBO-HARD-PIPE-INTERCOOLER-HOSE-KIT-/220535078817?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3358ea3fa1

1st kit if the hidden Intercooler pipes. (not idea if they will actually fit, the angles are not as per stock, but its hard to compare)

 

2nd kit is the Hard pipes you see in the engine bay that run to the Throttle bodies, and the next to them.

ok so its the pipes to the thottle boddies i need changing so thats the one to get !

Are these the best to buy or is there a trader on here with better ones ?

1st kit is for an FMIC I would think!

2nd Kit - please refer to the honorable gentleman's previous answer ;-))

This is an FMIC kit with pipes - they are pretty identical me thinks!

So does this kit replace the two standard intercoolers for a big front one ?

 

does this fit a 99 spec front bumper ?

Ive just bought that intercooler!

Will let you know how it fits.

My mate had one from them on his 200sx without problem..

I think you need to mod the 99spec front to get a fmic to fit

do not get either kit. iv got the 2nd pic kit. rubbish fit they need cutting down on the tb pipes, then you havent got the rolled ends which makes it harder to get a tight seal, ie little boost leaks. go for a good set like z1 motorsport kit

hi guys can anyone tell where i can get hard boost pipes from, need some asap thanks :)

Too late, already ordered the second ones!

 

And now sending them back !

 

I never even attempted to fit them as they arrived

shuffed in a box with badly scored pipes!

 

No wrapping or protection to stop the pipes getting

bashed about at all !

 

Not a happy chappie !

FWIW - I sell the original "Smithy's Place" hard pipe kit which is made from 1.2mm polished stainless steel. These were originally designed and tested by Smithy on his own Zed and are guaranteed to fit perfectly. Also, they come with a choice of red or blue silicone couplers and stainless steel jubilee clips (T-bolt clamps available as separate option). These are made to order and can take upto 3 weeks to delivery (depending on how busy the metal workshop is).

 

Prices:

Smithy's Hard Pipe Kit (TT): £240.00

T-bolt clamp kit: £35.00

 

Have sold dozens of these to members on here and owners as far afield as Indonesia, Australia and even a few to Argentina!

 

Let me know (via PM please as I don't often come onto the forums) if you wish to place an order.

 

Regards,

 

Dan

its true about cutting them down, me and my mate on the forum both bought a set and both has to grind a little off, however, not that much so that it gets rid of the rolled edge??

 

im sure mine don't leak, and my mate knows his doesn't as hes done a pressure test on the system. you get what you pay for i suppose. i bought them because i bought my zed very cheap because it had some bits nicked off it, 1 of which was the hard pipes, so because i already blew most of my cash on the car itself i had to go cheap. but like i said, it does the job fine if you don't mind grinding them down slightly.. In an ideal world i would always buy the best of the best. but i just cant afford it.

 

Anyway, if you can afford it get z1 motorsport kit or as dta said the smithy's ones, if not, then get the cheapy ebay ones and borrow a grinder!

He's right, they are gash rubbish, the clips and hose connectors are reasonable quality but thats it.
