hi guys

today when i was giving my engine bay a clean when i Noticed that one of the Exhaust Manifold studs and blot was gone (snaped off) from Cylinder 1. the very first on the left.

my question is would they make my car lose power? as i can see its leaking a little bit,

cheers

You will loose power as exhaust is bypassing the turbo, in turn hurting response and power.

similar question guys...

was putting my new dump on yesterday and snapped the top bolt in the back of the turbo housing. still managed to get a fairly good seal on it and used gasket maker on it just to be safe..

is there going to be any problems driving this around until i can get it out? just dont have the time to pull my turbo off at the moment to get it out

cheers

sorry for breaking in on your thread... just didnt want to start another one for such a similar question :)

turbo off plus manilfod off. Budget on a fair bit of time.

Probably about 4 hours to get it all off. Get a stud remover guy out (~$180 to $200 including studs) or weld a nut or ezy out.

New gasket etc ~$100

If you cant see much soot on there and you arent going to keep the car that long I wouldnt bother.

Mine were like that for 2+ years. I only fixed them when I took the turbo off to highflow.

But if it gets real bad it can create a chaneel in the head!

    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.  
    • No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
    • Just wanted to unearth this and post my baby with the new front ❤️😝 Took her to my wedding rehearsal today. Next up is getting wide skirts (after wedding)
