Haha love the whole danger to manifold thing....bloody last thing to be concerned about imo :D

Yeh that area is pretty nice Clint, I went halfway along somerset a while ago but had to turn back because of juice levels haha

Because manifolds are cheap?

lol no because it's like the strongest part of the whole damn setup provided it's not some cheap chinese p.o.s knockoff with poor welds / no braces :/

Nitrous backfires have been known to explode the composite LS inlets....

Mmm think they only really beefed them up a bit in the 94's yeh? But then and again it's probably not even that bad....I reckon it's the same load of crap as all that ceramic turbo paranoia and myth spreading. I bet that slightly thinner pump drive on the older 32 only failed on a handful of occasions just like the ceramic turbos under extreme conditions way outside of design envelope.

But in saying that I'd only ever want a late model one too...mainly because it's younger ;)

What's happening on Sunday? Was that the bbq/drinks?

Cruise and lunch this time. When the weather is warmer will do bbq and drinks

2nd month 93 I think is when they changed the oil pump setup

Nice, yeh I should be free for this

Chris is spot on. As well as getting the brakes the v spec also got the r33 crank. I have a 33 crank too. On the topic of exploding manifolds, anyone remember when Rhys McGreggor did it on the heat treatments GTR at jambo? Put a huge reverse don't in the bonnet.

I saw a photo of that, white 32?

That's the one!

Also can't beleive you guys use heiffer creek road as a play ground. Last time I was there it was scary as f**k. It was a goat track with semis on the wrong side of the road every second corner. Must have fixed it up a bit since then.

    • I think in the modern era we live in, if I were converting a hydro lifter head to solid, particularly when chasing revs, I'd be seeing what I could do to use shimless buckets. Those of us with Neos usually have this persistent niggling fear of a shim getting spat out and ruining everything. Shim-over is...yucky that way. At least the Tomei kit appears to be conventional, but it would still be nice if they'd decided to go shimless.
    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.
