Previous manifold and and compressor cover were done by GCG...no idea on price as it was done by previous owner.

Now have a manifold for a V6 being done by Competition Coatings in Guildford picking up end of the week. About $250.

I would think that as long as you are keeping the wrap on the manifold then no need to coat it as well but it certainly wont hurt.

my mate has just opened a shop and does ceramic coating, inside and out, he did my xspower manifold and rear turbo housing,

he does a really good job, he is starting to do coloured coatings as well,

i can ask him on prices for each part to be coated, he is on the central coast.

cheers

I would stick to coating the outside of the exhaust cover and manifold... As much as they guarantee the material will stick to the metal, I have no doubt over time that it will delaminate from the part.

I don't like the idea of little pieces of ceramic coating heading through my exhaust wheel...

I have used Competition Coatings and High Performance Coatings. HPC is better, though its quite a lot more expensive. Things liek manifold and exhaust housings/dump pipes will be past their best after about 12-18 months depending on the amount of driving you do (Satin black) Nothing lasts forever....

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
