Hey everyone.

Today when i was attempting to bolt on my new high mount turbo manifold which i had made a while

back, i discovered the people that made it to suit my car, snapped one of the threaded rods in the engine.

another one looks like they've gone at it with a grinder. cut bout 3mm of it back. wtf? And theres a third one

that just missing all together. i dare not to ask. lol

Long story short, i need to drill it out i guess. Who can i get to do that? And how much will it cost?

I was thinking bout taking them all out and just using bolts rather than the threaded rods with nuts.

Is that ok to do?

Also i bought a greddy plenum for my r33 rb25det, with the q45 throttle body, but i need to get the 4 bolts to fix the tb to the plenum. Where's the best place to get these.

Some days, cars are just frustrating, lol.

Thanks peoples.

Guesty

Sorry to bring this thread back up, but wondering if anyone know where to get the bolts for the manifold, the ones that attach the manifold to the block??

Thanks Rob

Hey Rob,

U can get the bolts/studs from a nissan dealership.

From wat i know all rb engines use the same ones.

From wat i was told there about $3 each.

If u need them installed, the thread doctor does a fantastic job.

his number is 0419 507 633.

Cheers.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
