as above . i have a very rare setup here from a factory R31 GTSR.....

Tuned length stainless genuine nissan manifold

no cracks, perfect condition sounds INSANE ....

factory R31 GTSR TB4301 t04 turbo, requires new thrust bearing ( 450)

otherwise in mint condition, made 260rwkw on my rb25 on 13 psi. comes with wastegate and oil feed line.

people that know about these rare items will know that they are worth my asking price,

more pics avalable upon request ,

PICK UP IS AVALABLE.......

is this the turbo set up on a R33 that Tuffy used to own not too long ago?

in all honesty.. good luck with the sale.

but i think u may struggle to get a sniff at 2700bucks even with the shagged ole school turbo.

but i know a friend that has a bit of money to burn and wants a GTSR manifold for he;s HR31 build. wiht a Neo6.....if he hasnt already .. ill send him the link.

i dont care if the price is big , im not selling it for a penny less.... ill keep it for 3 years if thats how long it takes ... good luck getting one any where else :D

these are very rare i believe 1 of 400 made,rare genuine and make your rb sound like a v12 seriously.

munch munch 6boost for lunch haha

800, but still rare.

Why does yours have fresh weld marks around all the runners, and the runners look perfectly new?

It is a copy?

I say this as all of the manifolds i've ever seen look nothing like that as there is substancial discolouration after years of use with the grade of stainless used for the manitolds.

Also those welds are much better than a factory one's on every manifold i've seen including the one i owned.

the actual runners on the head side are welded inside not out and ported to perfection, the manifold come from japland on a car was in magazine few yrs ago so i doubt its a copy.

Marky from E.T borrowed it for few days to try copy and says it cant be done the collector arrangement is crazy,

Maybe yours was the copy with crappy welds i couldnt see a genuine 1 of 400 being made shitty.

Edited by bbe

yea appears to be re- welded on the collector

stock welds are dodgy looking

but hey these manifold rocka nd make your car sound shit hot

cant see the welds here but they are larger

welded inside and nice and smooth

split pulse but the turbos arnt

Where are you getting 1 in 400 from?

You clearly don't even know how many were made (it was over 800, probably over 1,000 give there would have been spares ordered and so on).

They were made nearly 25 years ago on top of that.

They were ALL average weld stainless. Always have been.

There are 2 GTS-R's in Vic, one in tassie (ex-vic). One in QLD, One in WA. They ALL have average welds by todays standards and they are 100% original manifolds.

They all a dark colour as seen below:

I'll also assume you do not know that R31House have been making copies for over 10 years of the GTS-R manifold.

Just because someone you know isn't good enough to copy it, does not mean someone else suffers the same inability.

So how about you do people a favour and stay out of a topic you know clearly know nothing about ok?

The OP is the one i'm asking, not you.

its not a copy buddy, it has all the orig mounts for heat shields ect ,

it sounds rediculous fatz cheers

r31 nizmoid, its not a copy its been inspected by marc marcheson Owner of Exhaust Technology here in sa, and he jizzed in his pants,

its done f**k all work and was only just recently cleaned up with a linishing machine, thats why it doesnt look thrashed, the welds are perfect everywhere... even the inside of the runners are perefect,

maybe yours with the crappy welds was the copy, i doubt they would put crappy welds on something that was suposed to be the BEST thing nissan was producing at the time .

anwyasy

price is still 2700, not negotiable, its going back on my car, when a deposit is payed it will be removed,

will post up a sound clip tomorow night :)

and who cares if its been rewelded at some point in its life? its better thanout of the box,

there is no way to copy the collectors, because its actually 2 pressed pieces welded together,

The manifold has been on this car for longer than 10 years too,

the car was imported from japan in 1998 and was bought from a jap garage,

when the car got here, it was featured in early HPI magazine, as a jap built car,

it was put back to standard for compliance then all the fruit put back on ,

witch rulesout it being a r31house copy.. as its older than 10 years old bud.

cheers

for over 10 years

Quoted hopefully you don't miss it the 2nd time around.

Mine was original, same as the pics Pete & i have both posted now, which is what the original ones look like. You item is the only one that is different, and anyone that knows even a small amount about a GTS-R will easily spot this as i have done.

For what it's worth i never said anything about crappy welds. I just said average.

It was your rather poorly educated 'friend' bbe that was going on about crappy welds - might pay you to actually read who posts what in your replies.

Anyway - the second pic makes it look much closer to what every single other one looks like. Still not the same colour which is interesting.

FYI - i couldn't sell mine for $1400 when you have the likes of ETM/6boost etc selling their items for the same price. It ended up in a 3-way trade for a few items.

Good luck with the sale.

    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go. 
    • The roof is wrapped
    • This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.
    • Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
