You could almost get away with chopping the pipe off and reflaring the end if there is enough free play in it. But if you already have a new line then that is an easy option too.

UPDATE:

I stole the power steering line off Gunmetals halfcut, and had the car going that night 8)

Its going pretty well now (ie. hasnt blown up), and got 125rwkw with stock everything on the 18" chromies. I was naming my car the Nugget for a while, until I drove my friends R32 GTS-t (FMIC, 3" catback, pod filter) and his was as nuggety as mine :o I still think something is wrong with how little torque/power there is below 3500rpm though.. even though the RB did the same thing

Ill do another oil change soon, and get everything checked out by a pro - after i get my suspension problems sorted, ill look at getting some more power :P

7deg caster on the passenger side, no worries. 6.5deg caster on the drivers side, wheel sitting all the way forward (adj. caster rod shortened all the way)

Thats the suspension problem im talking about - you could say its in my head, because I cant stop thinking about how crap it is :P

Regarding your dyno result.

Your mods are just the cams and that catback right? I was wondering if you had the factory electronic boost thingy still present. There wasn't one on the engine as it went to you I'm quite sure.

You could be as a consequence running lower than factory boost which would explain the lac lustre performance. How much boost was it making for the test?

R32's with rb20's are nuggets until you get some boost into them. Consider the extra weight, they are lugging around combined with absolutely no bottom end torque. If your car feels like that then i'd be concerned :)

I bought one a couple of weeks ago from Autobarn for $90 new. Copy of the Defi ones where its all black until you give it power and then it lights up the display. In BAR and looks teh cool.
