    Wrap the manifold (or, even better, ceramic coat it). Place a layer of heat shield material BETWEEN the manifold and the intake pipe. Not touching either. Mounted with little brackets so something.

    Presto, no heat transfer worth worrying about. That would even be true even without doing anything to the manifold, just the heat shield, as I said in my first reply.

    Okay sweet, I was just concerned about the heat transfer part. Thanks for clearing that up

    How much money will you have to spend on the 26 intake (throttle shaft sealing, throttle plate sealing, etc, gaskets, coolant & air hoses, etc) to make it workable?

    I thought about putting a 26 intake onto my RB20 20 years ago, and realised that it was a waste of time and money.

    I'd just throw some ACL heat shield at this problem.

    Yes, I've got some DEI heatsheilding stuff in mind, and wondered whether this idea would be better in the long run.

    As for seals and everything, the cost of that shouldn't be too much

  3. So I'm looking at switching up my Intake setup due to an aftermarket turbo manifold.

    Here are my specs before you tell me to spend my money elsewhere or to buy a 25 Yada Yada:

    Hybrid Performance Turbo Manifold

    GCG high flowed RB25 turbo 

    GTR Injectors (444cc I believe)

    Z32 AFM

    Nistune 

    So, the problem I face is with the standard J Pipe, the exhaust manifold is about an inch from the J Pipe elbow (refer to picture) and this causes concern for Intake Temps.

    So instead of heat wrapping and shielding and all that, a buddy has a full RB26 intake setup that he said he'd give me if I want it. My main question is if I buy this OtakuGarage adapter plate, what issues will I face?

    My thinking is that it'll make the intercooler piping shorter, and not run over the exhaust which could heat up my Intake Temps.

     

    I'm looking for answers and solutions, not hate on RB20s. Thanks in advance!

  4. So I've got some eventual plans of widening my R32, and the topic of bringing the hubs out further as well instead of running deep dish wheels has come about. My question is, what would I have to do suspension wise in order to achieve the wider track width, instead of doing it in the wheels, doing it with the suspension. I basically want to push the hubs out further, so I don't have to run fat wheels. Only looking to use a 9 inch wide wheel with like a +10 to +20 offset, after going about 50mm wider

    The question of putting the GTR assembly into my GTST has me wondering what's different, would it work, are the control arms wider, would it bolt in, do I have to make new coilover mounts on the control arm to accommodate for the added width, how do I push those hubs out further. You get the idea.

    I only ask this as I'm not a fan of Stance nation style or deep dish wheels, and I'd like to run a slight concave faced wheel, whilst widening my 32 and trying to stay somewhat legal and under the radar from the Police

  5. I'm after some lift brackets for my RB20 if anyone has any they're willing to let go of. They've been out of production since 2015, and I've checked places such as Nizzpro, Skyline Parts and Spares, and Trix's Parts. 

    Don't tell me to just bolt the chain onto here or there, or ratchet strap around a manifold, I'd like to do it by the book before I have to resort to ghetto

    Why would you buy Nismo 555s for a grand when you can buy 6x brand new Bosch EV14 based injectors for ~$600 that are superior in EVERY WAY to both the shitty old GTR injectors and the Nismos?

    Why buy Bosch's when I don't need anything about 555cc, I'm doing it ins budget, looking for a decently easy solution. And how are they superior exactly, find me a direct comparison and maybe I'll consider your 'advice'

    And the GTR injectors may be "shitty old GTR Injectors" but not if they've been rebuilt and reconditioned.
