hey guys,

iv got 3 broken manifold studs that need to come out, iv already tried to get them out but dont want to go any further because of the risk of damaging the head

so just wondering does any one know of a mobile thread guy that will come out and do it?

any help would be great :)

how did you try get them out ???

did you drill through the stud then use an easyout?

thats the easiest way to get them out

oh and put a lil bit of heat around them with an oxy torch can loosen them up a bit

To get broken studs out if you can tack a piece of metal to it and then just undo it. I understand that it may not be possible without the room to do it or if the stud is too deep in. Just an idea that worked for me

iv found a mobile thread repair service

"peter whitefoot thread repairs", says he does broken studs and re thread etc so ill give him a call tomorrow :(

hopefully he can get it done then i can get the manifold back on, then the new turbo, then s15 injectors, then pfc with z32 afm............

then hopefully my car will be faster than brads (RDIRTY3's) car which will put me at rest :)

Until you f**k around with it again and blow it up for good! You may go faster, but ill still be driving while your walking :)

    • Why not? Since mines been built, I've used low boost maybe 5 times.
    • Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.
    • Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task
    • Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
