Hi Guys,

We were doing some maintenance on our truck fleet today at work and came across a truck that has two broken exhaust manifold studs.

There is no part of either stud protuding from head, if anything they are 3-4mm deep which means its an easy out job.

Nobody wants to put there hand up to have a go so we need someone else to do it for us.

Can anyone give me the name/number of a person who does this type of thing and goes onsite?

Tried yellow pages online and got nothing.

Thanks in advance

Jayson................

p.s - Truck is parked in Western suburbs.

Just for infos sake, the thread doctor came out to us from Narre warren and we are pleased with the work.

One stud he easy outed and said was not to difficult but the second one was a lot harder and he couldnt easy out it so from what I was told he used some type of spring/coil or something that got it out? Not sure but think its called a helicoil? No idea how they work or what they are though.

Total cost was $110 including and he left with happy customers. Will definately recommend him to anyone.

Just thought i would bump this to let people know he is still around.

I rang him yesterday arvo, he came out this morning and in the time it took me to get some money out and go to ford to order a gt35 and T3 gasket (which i found out ford dont run a gasket between the manifold and the turbo :blink: ) he had 5 broken studs out and then put the new ones in for me since he had the right tool and it only took a few minutes, which would have been closer to an hour for me using 2 nuts.

Very happy with his work.

wow. Old thread but yeah he heli-coiled my beetle spark plug thread bout a month ago.

Good bloke. Lots of experience.

Thats one of the reasons why i bumped it, 4 years old now a lot of people may think the threads old so he probably closed down by, just letting people know he is still going and still doing great work.

yeah he removed some broken studs for me..bout 4 of them..took him about 15minutes and made an easy $90 or so. did a good job thou cant complain.

He charged me $140 but if i had done it my self i would have to go buy specific tools, and prbably spend half the day or more feeling my way through what i was doing and if i screw up then i will probably have to call him out to fix my f**k up which would probably cost even more again, or i pay $140 there out in 30mins and he puts the new ones in, no damage no headache job done, some things are worth paying some one to do.

Yer fken oath. By the time you buy the parts, use em once - you'd hurt big time.

You'd have to do 5 SAU members cars probably to make it a viable purchase given you don't shit manifold studs that often :D

You guys realise you're replying to a 3yo thread yeh? lol...

Regardless, thread doctor = great work.

Correction, its actually 7 years old, i dug it up when it was 5 years old as i had trouble finding someone, now others are digging it again and reminding of the nightmare my 33 ended up being lol

He does great work tho.

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!

      End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall

      A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.
