Item: HKS cast low mount manifold suit rb20/25, t3 flange

Age: Unknown, bought second hand 2 years ago

Condition: reasonable, manifold has a bit of residue from oil and wd40 from removal, some studs need replacing. It has a crack in the internal divider thats been there since i bought it but no external cracking. The mounting faces could do with a skim

Price: $850 ono now $550 ono

To Fit: Was fitted to an r32gtst with rb25.

Location: Eagle Vale NSW

Contact: by pm. prefer local buyer so that you can make an inspection prior to purchase

Comments: I've sold the turbo, pipes and wastegate, I'm a little surprised that everything else has sold and not this :(

Anyway, here's some pics of the bits.

I can vouch for this setup, pulls very hard.

I swear Dave if you had this up a week ago i might have jumped on it, but i just spent lots of time and money redoing all the gaskets around the stock turbo/manifold :)

How come you're getting rid of the manifold? Going high mount? Will be interesting to see how the 3071 compares.

Good luck with the sale, shouldn't take long. (apologies for the useless post :()

Thanks mate.

Only made the decision this afternoon. I figured i could sacrifice a bit of top end for a bit more bottom to midrange with improved transient response that comes with bb turbos and simplify the whole lot by going a proper garrett IW housing on the stock manifold. It's also a bit less weight over the front wheels and water cooled which can only be a benefit on the track.

I got the same setup about to go into my R32 and these manifolds are an awesome design.

Just wondering if you will sell that dump pipe separately, as my kit is missing a dump pipe.

PM me if you will ;)

Abu, i've sent a pm. I don't really want to separate but i will consider separating the dump and wastegate pipe as i can't see it effecting the sale of the rest of the kit too much (especially for r33 owners). We can chat via pm.

Daryl, at this stage no, but by all means send me a pm and make an offer if you'd like. At the end of the day I can see me getting stuck with the turbo and no interest i if go down that path though.

Now $1,800.00 ono

I'm reaching a point where I'm willing to separate, so if you are after the manifold only or manifold and gate, send me a pm and we'll chat.

Just the one in the internal splitter mentioned in the first post.

I'll send you a pm later on with price and a pic if you'd like when i get home

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
