Hello,

have to change exhuats manifold, the one i have at the moment is just shite to be honest lol.

I know the 6boost manifolds are very very good, but just so expensive and not sure if i can afford. Besides the ebay manifolds, what else is out there under say $500? XForce or something i think have one but cant find any information on them!

And to people that do have the ebay manifolds, are they any good? It will be holding up a GT30/40 ...

I tried doing the research on my own lol but dont wanna rush into buying a manifold like the last one i have and have it turning out to be a hunk of shit.

Cheers guys,

Matt.

How much power are you looking at making. IMO the best setup for a street car is the stock manifold, as many have found, they only become restrictive above 320rwkw, which is about the most power you would practically want in a 2wd street car.

ive got a manifold for sale and its perfect for wat u want

- CNC machined flanges

- 6 into 1 merge collector

- made from steam pipe

- life time warranty

- T3 turbo flange

- RB25 engine flange

i havn't personally done the upgrade but from feedback i've seen and pics of the qulaity i'd go with ETM.. they are around $1200 and sexy as all hell... also high mount which IMO are the shiznit in sex appeal!

ETM for the win.

and just so you know a r33 gtst running 320 rwkws on a stock manifold.

change over to a ETM and you will gain around 30kws and pick up around 400rpm in spool time.

you mentioned you have been stung before with a crappy manifold so why risk it again.

ETM are gaurenteed for life to never crack or warp so just get one and never look back.

Go the HKS cast if you can find one...With big turbo though clearance of engine mount can be an issue...The one I bought came with T04Z and modded engine mount...it was out of R33 front cut though so it will fit but need to mod the engine mount.. More work but so is changing cracked ebay ones....

Btw running rb30 bottom end fixes clearance problem...Just one more of the 10,000 benefits of the RB30DET....

I believe it is $1200 for a twin pulse flange or $1000 for a single pulse flange... I'm pretty sure I paid $1000

How long till your looking at doing all this? I'll be going down to my mechanic and can get a good shot of my ETM manifold.. this is one but doesn't show it very well..

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • 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
