I have a R32 GT-R and ive been trying to read about the top mount XS power and OBX manifolds both on gtr.co.uk and Supraforums. Seems like people who have braced them dont have much problems with them, some have cracked and needed to be rewelded and some needed to have the bolt holes opened up with a drill to allow fitment.

But for the price i dont mind if i have to improve them a bit.

Anybody here that can comment on how they worked for them, here is the XS power Version 2 / $258.00 US Dollars

XS power vers 2 manifold

link to the OBX one / $315.00 US Dollars

OBX Manifold

mainly need to know if a T4 Precision Billet 6765 with a 1.15 a/r will fit it or maybe a GT4202 with a 1.15 a/r, so hopefully someone with a similar sized turbo can chime in

good or bad results, just want to get some info. And maybe state if you braced the manifold, what size turbo and if something went wrong what was the problem exactly :bunny:

btw i posted on gtr.co.uk also

if you are going for that big of a turbo why not just buy a good quality manifold to start with? ETM, 6BOOST, fullrace

well i live in Iceland and im trying to keep some costs down if possible. Its costs very much to import car parts here and the damn depression didnt help. Our currency went to shit in 1 year. So everything now costs twice as much as it did 2 years ago and it wasnt even that good back then lol.

one guy on gtr.co.uk replied , he has the xs power manifold

Ive got the XS POwer manidfold on my car.

2 things i had to do, skim the surface on the flange that goes on the head, and rebuild the pipes for the wastegate. They were to small.

Im on the 4th year now, and no cracks at all. Taken it off / on the engine a few times, no problem with warping.

No braces.

Been on the dyno 4-5 times, 3,5 years of trackdays, dragracing and streetdriving. Totally now almost 25.000km.

Im currently running 590hp / 680nm at all 4 wheels, 1.7bar on a GT4088r.

Ive got OBX twin manifolds, tuned length, and the OBX split front pipe 2-into-1, for R32 RB26dett.

Weld quality is excellent, they give it a lifetime warranty. The header manifold pipes, whilst small to keep to stock position, look fantastic quality.

Cant fault the front pipe either.

Just need to fit, along with twin hks split dump pumps and a decat flex pipe Ive got here. Hard @ 6'8" with no physical knees tho :bunny:

nice, im not quite seeing why everybody is saying you need to buy 1500-2000 dollar mani´s when it looks like the xs power one works. I know the other ones are much better quality etc. But you can almost do a whole fuel system for what you save by getting the XS power one.

what about the OBX manifold ? anyone ?

here are pics of the xs power mani

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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
