Hey, my skyline has a cracked exhaust manifold and for ages its just been making weird noises but now it sounds like its a V8. Could it be that the exhaust manifold has cracked right through or is it something else? Bit worried as i only just had the ignition fixed.

Cheers.

Doean't a crack in the manifold make it backfire and sound really tough? Lol.

My mate had a Cressida, got a stupid 5" straight pipe through it... the manifold had a crack in it, so it backfired louder than gunshots. He went into the Marion undercover park one time and started revving the shit out of it... flames popping out and it sounded like bombs were exploding... then 2 undercover cops walked out and fined him for excessive noise hahaha.

But yeah, his was just a crack in the manifold... letting air in, making it backfire.

But it sounded so f**king tough hahah

do u have an aftermarket exaust manifold, if so is it stainless steel????

when i had my old xforce manifold it cracked around the welds (on 2 manifolds) leading up to the flange, could tell it was cracked coz i could hear a tikcing noise

it didnt make any difference to performance tho coz we still proceeded to dyno it and still pulled over 300

i had a cracked manifold when someone went up my bum and it sounds likea v8 but off and you will go through lots and lots and lots of fuel also it back fires both ends and extream loss of power when excelerating

also if you havent had damage to crack it then it could be the gasket as that will do the same things as if it was cracked

you can pick up a second hand one for not much at all

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

      Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it

      All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.

      That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
