Hi Guys.

so i have done some searching and haven't come up with much, but then again, my search skills are crap.

I need to replace my manifold gasket, and while the car was off the road, i figured i might get one of these, but i do not know if they are any good.

I only have a stock turbo at the moment, hoping to upgrade later on down the track.

I know stainless steel manifold are usually not too good, as they tend to crack, so i was wondering if anyone has had any experiance with these manifold, also i know it would not give me necessarly more power, but would it help increase responce at all?

Any of is great thanks.

I wouldn't paint it. It probably won't hold, and it'll just burn and flake off.

Sure, sandblast it, but it'll just rust again in no time.,

Most likely your manifold will have warped and probably won't seal on, so you might have to get the mating surface machined.

Yeah i have a spear manifold i am getting ready, so i will prep it all prior to teh other one comming off. I have some 1500degC paint, it takes 6 coles and needs to be baked between each coat. Has some alluminum stuff in it or something.

i made the mistake of buying one, didnt even fit on (unless i used some sort of a spacer, but whos gona use a spacer?) like every1 else has said, dont buy it, but a brand named manifold

p.s i was lucky i got my money refunded

Have you considered comp coatings? I got mine done(with a whole lot of other stuff, wastegate, ex housing inlet manifold) and it cost $350

Sorry my slow brain........comp coating??? Please explain?? Thanks Adriano

Competition coatings i think is a company that does ceramic coatings for manifolds and exhausts and whatnot. Like HPC and whatever other companies around that do ceramic coatings. You'd only ever do the black (highest temp) coating as the normal silvery one cant handle the heat in a turbocharged system. We had our dump pipe on the race car done in the silver and it just flaked off after a few race meets.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
