hey i had 2 broken studs on my exhaust manifold (broken off rigt in, no stud sticking out to grab onto). I managed to remove one of them but while i was drilling a small hole in the center of the second one te drill bit snapped and there is no possible way to get the broken bit out so that means i carnt drill into the stud to remove it . So does anyone have any ideas how to get it out ?

its not seized in there cos before the bit broke off i could unscrew it a few turns before it gets tight but i couldnt get a good enough grip on it to unscrew it out completely. I know that a mig could tack enough metal so that i could undo it but i onl have an arc here and that would just stuff it up. I dont wana have to remove the head so i can take it somewhere to get done so i was wondering what ideas do you guys have ?

hi, i had some exhaust studs snap off like yours, but was a bit luckier with the drill. While extracting one of mine i ended up drilling way off centre, but still manged to get it out. can you drill another hole off centre, you say the stud was loose. Just use a nut or similar as a guide(and vise grips to hold nut) to keep from drilling into head. From memory I used an extractor of about 3.5mm dia, i cant remember the brand (but not one with a thread, just parallel ribs running the length of it, someone mentioned the brand on another post), an excellent product!. Other than that i can only think your solution is best.

P.S. I replaced all the studs at the same time, another couple of them decided to break during that process, which was in one way lucky cause its not a job you want to do twice!

thanks, i ended up getting it out by ligtly hammering a flathead screwdriver into the hole ..

Another question is should i use anything on the new studs?

one guy told me i need locktite, another guy told me to use an anti seize on the studs before putting them in ... so which is it?

from the looks of the old studs there is nothing used on te threads..

Also does anyone know the correct torque for putting the studs in ?

yea it is fairly common . very easy to get it out as long as u can get to it the ones near the front are easy to get to on the car , dont know about the last one or 2 though .

i use an easyout to get them out , 1 k $ thats very expensive if u dont have to have the cil head out . the studs are about 2-3 $ each from nissan

I removed the turbo and exhaust manifold to get to mine ..

See if you can find a place that has reverse drill bits and make sure its a cobolt tipped one (i think thats what they are called) cos otherwise you blunten alot of normal drill bits trying to drill a hole in the studs ..

Hey by the way im one of the most lazyest bitches cos i still havent put the car back togeter yet .. i was thinking of getting the manifold sandblasted while its off so i can paint it .. anyone know its its ok to sandblast it inside and out ?

and will the sandblasting afect the manifold flanges ie will i have to get it machined if sandblasted?

I have 2 studs broken on my RB20, and i got some quotes yesterday. One was for 650 from APC and the other was 600 from Gavin Wood. I am thinking of going thru Gavin becuase he has done em before and he will replace all 12 studs. Do u think the price is a bit high? I know that the studs are only a few dorrars from Nissan. He also said that the manifold might need some machining if the face of the flanges are a bit bowed.

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
