Hello Guys/Girls,

I wouldn't normally do this, but I am after a stock exhaust manifold for my r33 GTST, fairly urgently.

By wanting I do NOT want, re-welded or machined manifolds, preferably someone who has either recently upgraded would be very cool if you have one available, in good condition.

Thanks people :()

You could say that Kym..ehehe..I had been driving her a little hard over the past few weeks and last week the manifold just gave way entirely due to the heat.

It was funny taking it to pieces because the crack was huge, right through the centre and almost a perfect circle all the way around. Any extra weight and it would've snapped like a twig.

In a way it's good though, it's forcing me to clean the ex side of the motor down properly where I couldn't quite reach before and inspect turbo a bit better..no shaft play which is good. :rolleyes:

It's not exactly the most accessable area to work in (the only thing about japanese cars i don't like!), but within an hour it was all to pieces. :)

I left those studs practically floating in CRC overnight before even trying to undo them for that very reason :rolleyes: snapped studs would not have been a good addition ehehe.

For a while there I was almost tempted to sell off my stock exhaust hardware and use that as an excuse to puchase a slightly larger GT 30'series, custom manifold, injectors, new compy and some other goodies, but I'm just wanting it back on the road asap atm, I'll play with it after exams if anything ;)

Did you end up replacing the broken studs or just leaving them and tightening around them? I don't think any of the ppl I know bother replacing them when they break, they just tighten around them the best they can normally.

Dam heavy right foot hey :)

People seem to tell me that alot.. ehehe

Yeah I was quite surpised at the extent of the damage around the casting, I'd never seen an RB manifold crack like that before either..it's very artistic, the kind of thing you really would want to put on your mantlepiece :)

I'll have to bring it down and show you @ kwinana sometime, seeing as we'll all be back down there again shortly.

Sweet as Kym! I saw your car near Omni during the day a few weeks ago btw, she is purring like a kitten and sounding very strong. You haven't flowed or changed your stock turbo have you?

Yeah I learnt the hard way snapping studs on other cars..CRC is your friend though :P

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      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).
