im sure they have been used before. If you are going to use it make sure you check clearance issues and make sure all the surfaces are machined flat. For me personaly there are to many gaskets need in the same area which may cause leakages.

I have a similar one but mine has some angle.

Was gonna use it in the 33 with a td06SL2 but ended up going a T67 with a 6boost instead.

test fit on a rusty rb20 :)

the T67 is massive but i did try and mount it with this thing for interests sake, its pretty tight but i reckon if you moved the A/C lines and modified the engine mount it may be possible.

not using this so if somebody wants to buy let me know!

these flow horribly, having the w/g port @ 90* angle from the flow is pretty poor for flow and boost control.

Good for practicality, but If it was me I would spend the extra coin and get a port welded into the rear housing, looks neater too IMO.

yeh i had a similar adapter, had it on my high mount rb30 maniflod, it flowed well but as said clearence was a issue lol,

it was touching my bonnet, even flat spotted my housing hahahah.

if i had to do it again i would modify my manifold.

Yeh Sam and I tried something similar (from scratch) to well and truely hide my external gate.... we waited weeks for the thick metal to come in... then it had to be machined.... was absolutely wrapped... then I did a trial fit....

Unfortunetly, because my car has the same chassis rails as a gtr, it would never fit as they are higher then normal gtst's and as such less room... so you really have to be careful about clearance.

^^yeah thats what i was worried about does seem a nasty angle to have it on......

but I really do wonder if having it on the housing would be any better..

I was worried too... have heard both good and bad... but so far has been fine, as has boost control. I did get it heat coated just incase.

I was actually trying to keep it hidden under the heatsheild, but that doesnt look too bad at all.

But really most aftermarket high mount manifolds have the gate pipe coming off at close to a 90 degree angle... 6 boost, trust etc

you will find the steam pipe ones are setup with less than a 90 degree angle as they have serious boost issues if its not.

hidden under heatshield you say?

This was when I was test fitting to make another hole for a bolt.

Great thing is it actually works as a really good heatshield because of where the gate is, I was getting a ton of heatsoak on the intake pipe - it was soo hot after drives I couldn't touch it... and it's meant to be as cool as possible... now its pretty much outside air temp, until I stop and the heat begins to sit and go up, but its generally much much cooler... did alot more then heatcoating....

with all the intake pipes on top you cannot see a thing under there.

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
