This might also be the go : R32GTR castor rods:

Decrease the size of that turbo ( but keep it cause your gonna put it back on later, trust me on this ) and retune You'll get a better driving car which is what they are designed for ( see my post on General Automotive Discussion on what your skyline is for ). I drive mine every day and a bit of perspective is a great thing

Oh noooooooo! Im going for run up there very early tomorrow morning ! Or was !! ! ! ! !

I think Putty road was closed yesterday fro Colo to Mellong yesterday due to bush fires ! Hope this isn't a sign of thing to come for the cruise

Yep permaseal have a pretty good rep ! Or you could, as advised by TerryP above, the standard fibre/graphite gasket is also a brilliant idea. Its up to you. It also might be a goo idea to put a straight edge on the exhaust manifold to check it for warping. No point putting it back on if it bent like a banana. So what Im saying is - are the studs broken from heat stress over time or cause the exhaust manifold has warped and broken them ! Cast iron manifolds really really dont like and engine wash when hot.

Yes in the vast majority of cases the studs will break. The trick is, as your loosening them and they start to bind up don't try and force undoing them. Wind them back in and WD40 the bejesus out of the stud and wind it in and out until it loosens up and then take them out. I've never known there to be a untouched RB engine that the back stud isn't snapped off. Replace the lot and it will save you a world of pain doing it again or suffering exhaust leaks.

Oooo! Oooo! Pick me !Pick me ! Is it: "Too Infinity and beyond" ? ?

Ok but I get three guesses ! Is it this:

Hmmmm . . . . beer and chicken . . .served on what looks like news paper ! Now that takes me back to my childhood with the old fish and chip shop serving the fish and chips wrapped in the Sydney Morning Herald. . . nothing tasted better . . . than news ink with your chips !

I make epoxy at my work so why not ! ? ! ? And I do like a good bit of jackhammer work

Yep ! What mlr said pretty much sums it up. "a short cruise" ? Whats your definition ? The Putty Rd might be your friend here for the test drive you are seeking. I go on a very regular basis to clear my head when life pressure happens.

Yup what he said ! My boss just got him self one ! A serious bit of kit and got it for a bargain price of 235K. Took me for a ride in it . . .goes very well . . . . . very very well !

Oh no ! No cruising for you for a while cause your cash is going into your bathroom reno ! And the same for me as a alloy Holden 6 Duggan head has popped up on for sale for my other project !

Welcome to SAU Nick ! That looks like a nice unit. As to a mid life crisis and approaching 50 ! I get told that a lot and laugh cause if its mid life I should make it to 112. Hope that's not a fiberglass front bar ! If it is you've gotta reverse park everywhere from now on if you want it to survive. And those 20s don't look bad at all.

For a . . . . ? ? RB25det ? ? or .......

No its gotta be Toyota with Toyota ! There for: 1GZ-FE QUAD TURBO

But I really like the launch control on it ! Its my favorite thing !

Oh nooooooooo ! I I've got a PowerFC . . . . . . . I'm gonna have to sell it now !

SOLD - R33GTST rear 5 stud hubs, brakes, discs, handbrake lines

Hmmmm . . . .that looks like a well marbled wyagu steak . . . Yummm ! And Johnny no Putty Road for you this Saturday cause Mr Popo he like tyres with no tread ! ! !

Welcome to SAU and that looks like a pretty clean unit. If you can post up a few more pics so we can get a better idea of the conversion. Do you know any history of the car ? Conversion done in the US ?

Getting that twitch in my eye again . . . . even after being on the Putty Rd on Saturday . . . . . in the rain . . . . had to dial up the concentration level up to 11 !

Or you could complain to your local council about the height of the speed humps ! ? ! !

Dude search engines are your friend here but: Nismo = 300kmph and 320kmph Impul = 320kmph to name a few And the big daddy Veilside = 360kmph

Shoota_77 that is a seriously nice piece of exhaust manifold kit
