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

The Thread Doctor is coming to my house thursday to fix my manifold studs.

Charging me $70 to remove 2 studs and install 3 new ones.

I think thats pretty good

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.

    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
