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.

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.

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.

    • lol, yeah, and how gutted I am now I’m back over in Europe (actual Europe) and dealing with the nightmare of U.K.-Continental Europe bureaucracy.   Anyway, arrived in NL early January with the BMW, whilst the Skyline followed suit about a week later. Both cars ended up stuck with their relative importers for about six weeks. Since then, I made a trip to the Nurburgring with a friend and have since ditched the Skyline in the garage. This week, I finally managed to find a suitable shop to do an alignment so hopped on over to Germany to fix the miserable mess the local Netherlands shop conducted; the car was just not aggressive enough in the rear for my driving style - I found myself understeering a fair bit at the ring which was really a first for me with this car. Mis-matched F&R tyres can be held partly responsible - have now moved to F+R NS2Rs. One thing I’ve noticed is the 180kph limiter just does not cut it here. I quickly hit that (for the first time) in Germany on the autobahn. Japanese circuits are small - at least the ones that were near me. I rarely spent much time in 4th. After much deliberation with the HKS SLD, I have ordered Nistune from Matt. Whilst the Skyline has been gathering dust I got to learning the highly neglected BMW I bought in the U.K. was in fact just that, highly neglected. Took the ol’ dog down to Switzerland last weekend with a progressively deteriorating front end. It went from vibration during braking at highway speed on the way down, to vibrating non-stop on the way back. I’ve already fixed numerous engine issues - low oil pressure, f**ked injectors, incorrect coils and plugs, electric water pump. Still to do is a suspension and brake overhaul, rear subframe replacement and likely more ageing engine electrical components. But I must say, I love it. After so long with the Skyline, I really didn’t know cars could be so comfortable.    
    • Thanks. I adjusted my soft cut to 7600rpm and if I see I'm still making power there, I'll consider readjusting to possibly 7800rpm while on the dyno. 
    • Yeah not sure. I sourced another relay no problem, its definitely a relay according to Nissan parts, they used those specific relays on a bunch if cars around that time, but my two options are, find a behind dash wiring loom which is proving difficult, or get the current loom fixed up by the shop when they put my rebuilt engine back in, they are confident in their auto electrical abilities. Thing is my current loom has anti-theft stuff and GPS immobilisers wired into it so easiest option may be to just fix the current one to save ripping apart the immobiliser. 
    • Took it apart to get to the bearing found out i was wrong the bearing was pressed on to the diff side and the part i removed only had the bearing side, checked the bearing all looked fine took the shaft end to a shop and they recon it was movement from back and forth that made the marks and not rumbling about, so i just changed the seal and put it all back again.
    • Oh dear. That's um. There's like. Um. a lot of bare wires there. Take the whole thing out. Something is very very shorted somewhere. IT IS NOT CAUSED BY THAT "RELAY" (assuming it is a relay).
