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.

dude im guessing your talking about the exhaust manifold studs. These always break. Here in Adelaide there is a dude called captain thread who is a mobile thread specialist who comes over and gets em out. You need to do the same thing. While your at it, replace all 12 of the old studs with the new, should only be around $2-3 ea.

what ever you do, dont have a crack at it with an easy out stud remover and snap that off in the broken stud

broken studs ALWAYS cause manifold leaks on these engines, and affect spool up time and performance in general.

There's one or two in every state. Someone will know your one. Just put a thread in the vic section asking for the mobile thread repair guy or whatever.

I have to say I dissagree with them ALWAYS causing problems, leaking etc. If you can't here it leaking (ticking sound) then don't bother.

      33 GTR Broken front wheel knuckle

      By R32 TT · Posted

      Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.

      Coolant leak?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
