hey guys i own a redtop sr obviously someone is gonna tell me to go to a silvia forum but i like this forum and everyone that has helped me before has done a gud job so here we go

at the minute im changing the exhuast manifold gasket i have a 2 piece dump which allows me to take it all out in 1 lump making it alot easier

were the dump connects to the exhuast instead of using a stud they have used a bolt

i cant get a socket and or spanner (ring or open ended) onto it becuase its hugging the dump to tightly there was a nut on top of it becuase i think the bolt was acting as a stud i have got the nut off.

because i have had no succes getting it off with normal means i went to a chisel and hammer to unscrew the bolt all was going well till i hit the end of the thread on the bolt as it is damaged i can no longer get it to move and therefore not allowing me to finish gettn the manifold out.

IF ANYONE ACTUALLY UNDERSTANDS WAT I AM SAYING

PLEASEEEEE HELP

wat options do i have eg. drilling it cuttin the head of the bolt off just need to no the best one thanks aloy

JAI

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
