jeremy, they sell in the states for about $300-320 USD. prob shipped to hear would be around $400. JDMyard tried to sell me one for $470 which I believe is a total jip.

that carline i went to get a quote in WA (Cannington to be more specifc) had two d1cks working in there.. I rather knock up my own exhaust with duct tape then going to them... Dont TRD have anything for the ZRE yet?

[Jaaassseeee]

From what I gather it's only Injen (Part: SP2079) and a Weapon-R one from America which is a short ram intake and from what I heard aren't very reputable.

As you said it yourself, I'd rather pay more to get something I know has reputation. Not someone welding a few pieces of 2.5" pipes together.

YO wy how much will your mate charge for the intake piping? more or less then that carline place?

[CHA54]

fusing stainless pipes like that is really easy and takes no time at all. The ones pictured have had too much heat put into them though and are undercut at the weld. He should have used some 1mm stainless mig wire as filler and gone with a faster travel speed if using that much heat. I'll bet the inside of the pipe at the weld is all sugared.

[SILVABULLIT]

Certainly nowhere near the neatest welds I've seen...

awell buddy thats the 1st tym hes done it.. WHY DONT U WELD ONE UP??? SAME GOES TO YOU CH45A...

[CHA54]

ok...

Here's a liberty I prepared earlier, no post-weld pickling past applied:

Here's two of my fuse welds after application of pickling paste (note, that's not my pipe alignment, I just welded it up :P) :

Another showing my welds on a custom 1zzfe header prior to facing:

One of my 1JZ to stock MX83 intake pipes:

etc etc etc... I was providing feedback on how your mate can improve his stainless welding, as the welds you pictured are easily improved with a bit of practise.

These intake pipes are seriously easy to make. The hardest part is machining the stainless MAF mount, but they can also be purchased pre-machined from the US if you really want: http://www.kstech.biz/servlet/the-Blow-dsh...nges/Categories

I can easily knock up a ZZE/ZRE intake in a month or two's time after the current projects are out of the way. I prefer to make mine in alloy though.

on the CES note, i also contacted them several months back and they said not one person has called or emailed them wanting a cai for the zre's, i was the first, they said they had the parts sitting in a box on the shelf collecting dust waiting for a test car to come up, they suggested i drive up and they would do a custom one for me, so i thought i'd see if anyone here was interested....again, no one said anything about wanting one...so i dropped it, couldn't be bothered to chase it when i'm not loaded up with cash, and now with work getting a lot tighter everywhere i have even less cash, if there is plenty of interest i'll head on up to queensland and get the ces cai tested in my car, i'm coming from ACT, so i've got a fair way to go so there'ed have to be enough people wanting it..... but as SB says, email/phone em and they may even organise a car up there....

otherwise let me know i'll take some time off work and have a holiday.

Dave

[Jaaassseeee]

bull **** mate, nothing against you but CES are lying. I've emailed them twice (I've also mentioned this before), and I've also called them once and all they said was "Well if you're from WA we can' do anything, we need a test car" and that was the end of the convo.

Needless to say I was disappointed with the service. Unless CES can develop it before I decide to dib into gettin the Injen, otherwise they I ain't gonna get anything from them.

[Jaaassseeee]

Hi guys,

Found out prices from a few different places for the Injen.

Ebay was $500+

JDM Yard was willing to provide them at the cost of $475

Then Clicky, this place from America sells them for around $430 inclusive of shipping at current exchange rate.

(USD $288 + $56.40P/H)

Just letting you guys know.

Cheers,

Jase

TIG welding is easy though, stainless is the easiest metal of all to weld! Once you have the technique, that's it - there's no "Oh but it's the first intake he's made". If he knew how to TIG properly, there is no 'excuse' for sloppy welds.

Now, if anybody is in Brisbane I'm more than happy to spend some time making an intake for somebody - can't mass produce them but can knock one-offs up. I have done one for Rowan (our time schedules never worked out, hence why it took so long) and done other bits for other members.

EDIT: Meh, pointless starting down this tangent again.

Looks better after a little thread cleanup on some useless comments :)

I think those prices are abit on the high side.. if you are really keen maybe wait abit until the prices drops abit :)

[spillige]

funny how thread clean ups only occur when there aimed at mods or mod associates?

;) better start getting used to threads being cleaned up.. none of the ZRE owners here need your corky image or comments..
