i can help.. as the manifold gasket change over is piss easy interms of knowing what to take off and in what order etc.. however the problem you will face with an old car r33 or older usually is that the exhaust maifold studs coming out of the head usually snap due to brittleness

and then thats where you need experience with easy outs (not as easy as the name suggests) to remove the broken studs

Yea this usually requires the head to be removed. Whats this "easy out" method u speak of ruffels, and does it work?

      My theory would revolve around the ~4000rpm point being peak torque territory on an RB, where you're supposed to be looking at max efficiency of the head, etc, and....just not having it because the skinny ports are doing something to f**k it up. I'll admit, it's a loose theory.

      It could be in the tune but in both cases it couldn't be completely solved or eliminated by some of the best tuners in victoria so I'm DOUBTFUL that it's in the tune or ECU but stranger things have happened of course. I've pondered that theory too but is there any theories that thinner and smaller ports overall would cause a turbo to spike? I would've thought it would just restrict it in general if it was small enough to make a difference. I wouldn't expect it to make a different at what is essentially sub 300kw at 4000rpm anyway. I think the next step is going to have to be the 6psi spring to rule out the idea that the gate is cracking open far too wide initially. At least that is the cheapest (free) thing to check initially.

      I'm thinking it is skinny NA Neo port sizing and cams. Somehow.

      -5’s did it. 8474 did it. Not hot side related. ECU related? 🤨🤪

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Above you mentioned you only need to sand primer if there's an issue with it but with fillers it says the surface needs to be sanded to X grit beforehand. Does that sorta contradict that point as the primer hasn't been sanded yet? At the same time if I sand the primer, there's a good chance I'll expose the bare metal and I'm just chasing my tail at that point. Or I'll just use a sand sponge instead of sandpaper, it seems to be far finer in terms of abrasiveness as opposed to sandpaper. From what I understand, filler is like primer and needs scratches from the sandpaper to help it adhere to the panel. I realised the way I'm doing things is actually a bit counter productive as there's a chance after I put filler I will need to put epoxy primer again as opposed to putting the filler first and potentially no primer if I don't go to bare metal. Will keep this in my mind for the rest of my repairs.
