There are so many fabricators popping up all around NZ its not funny, there is some serious competition out there! Most of the stuff its not to bad quality as well.

for that price I would give it a go regardless haha.

I built up a drift car for my mate before I moved to oz, He brought a cheap stainless steel manifold to use on the RB25det i had to adapt it to fit his master power T70 and wastegate and heaps of other fab work but basically after over a year of some competitive drifting its still holding up strong. Even Jake Jones couldn't shake the beast to bits lol

Sometimes cheap stuff may look crappy but will surprise you how long it lasts.

chiming in on this.. I installed this on a freinds s13 SR and it has gotten the thumbs up from MRC and Rigoli.. Still waiting on a proper power run but is going well

edit: forgot to mention this was originally a non ext gate manifold. We drilled the merge collector and made our own ext gate point at a 45 degree angle

Hi there,

First of all i would like to introduce my self, My name is kam and i am also the owner of hybrid performance, www.hybridperformance.co.nz , we supply the manifolds mentioned and we have launched our new website , We are based in Auckland new Zealand and we specialise in Mild steel Manifolds and Turbo chargers ( non of that cheap junk going a round )

If you require any help or info or pictures please let me know and i will post it up,

We can also modify the Wastegate port according to what size you want but an extra cost will be charged,

Manifolds are in stock and ready to dispatch and we have customers world wide :)

I would also like to mention the link for Trade Me listed is not us and is one of the companies we supply to. It is cheaper to go directly through us but you are more than welcome to purchase from our suppliers too.

If any one can tell us how we can post up as a sponsor on the site we would like to offer the club some discount

Kind regards

Kyle from 6boost usually reccomends larger gates for his manifolds (60mm for most seups) due to the design of the collector. 38mm is fine for most setups, the only time it'll become a problem is when trying to run really low boost with a largish turbo

Yep, told me 50mm minimum but i am going to try a 44mm Tial and see what happens....

The size of the wastegate required depends on

1. The capacity of the turbo (more capacity bigger w/g)

2. The amount of boost you are going to run (more boost smaller w/g)

3. The position of the wastegate in relation to the collector and turbo ( try to give w/g priority)

I have a 50mm wastegate coming straight off the housing of my GT3540:

Battery, Im not doubting this is an ebay manifold but I think Kam should post a pic of his collectors up as i certainly would not be putting that mess anywhere near my engine. Kam?????????

    • i have been looking at this ECUtek tunes for my V37 and just wondering if i but it and put it in my ODB connector if i just remove it when the vehicle is off are all the tunes removed aswell ? like basically removing the dongle puts the car back into a standard state? i have never played with ODB connectors with tuning i have always had full ECU with hand controllers so this is all new to me.
    • 100%  This was also considered however the whole 370Z caliper came up at a good price and I couldn't suppress my temptations to buy it and take me further and further away from owning a factory fast car in the future. Nissans addiction is worse than a meth addiction.
    • You could try some less aggressive pads on the rear. I found (a long time ago when all my brakes were stock 32) that using the same (Bendix Ultimate) pads at both ends made the rear bias excessive. I strongly suspect that the stock Nissan pads probably use a different material, but aftermarket pads will usually be the same material regardless of what pad they are put onto. That bias situation did get better when I put R33 calipers on the front AND used the same pads - just transferred them from old to new calipers. So you should feel the difference with the change you're making. But certainly do not forget the option to change the rear pads down a grade or two.
