There are companies that specialise in broken stud removals. They come to you. Search in the phone book. If you wanna do it yourself you will need to get an Ezy out as mentioned. If the stud is seized in there it will be a pain to get out. Plenty of penetrant (WD-40), Ezy out, Centre punch, small drill, etc is what you will need to do the job.

I dont think they charge too much to come and do it for you though. Try Thread tech..

yeah i decided to either find a 90degree drill and just drill the bastard untill its out and probably stuff the thread and use another nut and bolt instead, or pay the guy who does it for a living $140...... probably end up paying the thread nazi his $140.....

to my surprise he knew what the problem was as soon as i told him its a skyline lol

recons he does atleast one a week

if it was my r33, i would have just forgot about it and done the other ones up.

Because i did, and it was leak free for 2 years, its on the side with 3 bolts, so meh the other side has 2 only

that being said, ive never snapped onein anyone elses car because i would wd40 it early because i remember mine lol. if you still have factory turbo your not really stressing your dump pipe gasket

it didnt leak for about the first 40km, but then i could hear it when i drove next to a wall or in a shopping centre, then it soon became noticable when driving in the open....

also i could only get 4 of the 6 on due to the design of the dump pipe and then was told by the makers of the piece to take it off and evenly bolt it back up.....

then as i was trying to unbolt the dump the bolt snapped at the top, i bolted the remaining 5 up and it was leaking the same as before, probably because it was at the top of the dump pipe and there isnt really a another one that could take over its job.... if you know what i mean??????

oh well i guess its a big learning curve for me

get someone to do it for you. if you snap the easy out you are in a world of trouble

yep +1 for getting someone to do it. i tried using an ezyout and broke it. also replace all the bolts while ur at it :) bolts are 6 bucks each fron nissan!

WD40 is your friend.... always. If your socket won't let you tighten up all the bolts it will leak, even if it's the centre bolt. Use some washers or a spacer to get clearance for your socket if need be.

The dump pipe bolts you should be able to get from any good exhaust shop. I got like 6 or 8 of them for nothing cause I asked nicely.

    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
