Hi terry call captain thread on 0407077414 he will remove it for you. Tell him FOOLBOOST says hi :P

Excellent, thanks mate. Do you know how much $$$ roughly?

Do you know if this causes any boost issues?

if you're lucky, that exhaust port will still seal and there will be no change.

otherwise yes, of course.. you will get an exhaust leak which means there is less gas available to drive the turbo and your car won't boost as quickly.

The stud breaks because the leak was already there or because of an oil leak over the stud in question. So to answer your question - yes it will cause boost issues.....it will also effect air/fuel ratio readings. If one stud is broken you will be looking at around 4 -5 hours but the thread guy will not remove the turbo and manifold for you...you'll have to do it yourself or get someone else to do it.

just done mine lol worksshops charge 50 or more per stud to fix plus gaskets lol and so on..

i done myself they suck,,need small air drill if have some snapped of...

replace all of them if doing not worth doin 1 or 2

goodluck

captain thread is the MAN!!! he has gotten mine out twice, when i broke an easy out stud extractor off in the broken stud aswell...

cost a bit over a hundred $$ EACH. but i was so frustrated i had no other avenue. He has a mobile service which is very handy

VOTE 1 CAPTAIN THREAD

ive had this same problem, and now i got an oil leak from the head behind the stud.. i called a thread proffesional to fix it, and its still leaking, is there anything i can use to seal this leak properly? rather then replacing the whole head?

i've heard of exhuast studs breaking on many skylines. it was probably a techline in japan

they break because the inline-6 manifold is long, and has a turbo hanging off it. the weight and flexing from repeated heat cycling gradually fatigues the studs.

I had at least 3 snapped studs when I pulled the manifold off my R31 (was upgrading the turbo and figured I should do the studs while it was apart). I didn't suffer from any exhaust leaks either.

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
