You in luck! I just took my car apart so I can put a stock RB25 in it and sell it, so the manifold is off. I'll try to remember to get a pic soon. It's been "modified" a bit for twin wastegates (don't ask) so it's a little different than normal, but only where the wastegate runners are concerned. If I don't post anything up in a day or so, feel free to PM me and remind me.

They are Greddy knock off's BTW---it's just they are made with a lot better materials than the normal china knock offs of even the greddy mani itself. 3mm 321 stainless. That's why they don't crack. Heavy SOB's.

I think "imlate" has a pair of 6Boost low mount manifolds.

ur right - he posted a pic a few mths ago when i was considering this mod. 6boost have discontinued making them though, as i was informed when i emailed them direct in qld

does etm have a website?

hay i think you are on a winner here i had a look at them, 321 stainless and 3mm thick and they have low mount what i wanted,ceramic coated it and it should be good.

you have found my solution i think,ive been looking at jap ones from $1500-2100 but they all are 304 and 2mm thick, finally something im willing to try.

Dont you have ported standard manifolds Marko? Do you feel they are holding you back at all?

a pic of the manifold

I was there the day he took that pic. There was a japanese guy that overfilled his tranny with fluid and it was leaking all over the place. Scott (the owner of the shop that sells those mani's) put the thing up on the lift, , drained some fluid, put it in 5th gear, and put a heavy hunk of metal on the gas pedal for like 5 minutes to see if he had indeed, found out the reason for the tranny fluid all over the place. That was thr problem, and then I noticed the manifold glowing! That one is a side mount, but I've made my top mount glow like that on several occasions. It's much more dramatic at night.

    • Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.
    • Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using. 
    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
