Nice work man.

I replaced all of mine recently after taking out a broken stud (snapped inside the block, right up the firewall end), decided I wasnt keen on waiting for the next factory stud to break so I replaced all 12. Dont need to use an EzyOut though, just lock two nuts together and turn them until the stud turns out, then use new studs and nuts.

What temp. paint did you use for the manifold?

Your lucky! all five of mine broke flush with the block so couldn't get them easily out :)

The paint i used was called MOTOSPRAY HEAT PROOF to 815°C in silver colour

Here is an updated pic of manifold installed. I used a COMETIC metal gasket with clear SILASTIC on both sides of gasket surfaces.

Next step turbo install + Dump and cooler piping and hopefully should be able to fire her up tomorrow arvo :(

Nice work man, not sure how easy it'll be getting the turbo and dump on, I took my manifold back off and mounted the turbo to it, then that onto the dump pipe...I know the dump pipe moves around a bit, but getting that lined up as well as the exhaust manifold might still be a hassle. See how you go man.

That manifold looks aight fitted ay.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
    • FYI: Racebox RE7R Custom Tunes Released!   https://goracebox.com/.../2017-infiniti-q50-q60-re7r-tcm...   FOR GEN 2 (21+) VEHICLES, PLEASE SEE NOTE AT BOTTOM See more   But whomever tuned your car is the tuner you should go back to, AMS, Sonictune or BT Tune....
