sorry what i mean is it should make more power with your manifold on my car.and that if someone is making just under 350kw with a stock one then your manifold should be able to make more. in theory

will i get a better price if i mention jim lol

No better price I don't think.hah.

I getcha. Yes I can definatelt make much more.power with this manifold.

You guys will wanna be careful hanging ext gates on manifolds that have had material taken out.

1. The manifold is now weaker

2. You are adding more weight

The chances it'll crack are now even higher, in standard form they rarely crack but people have certainly taken out too much meat in the past and then had them fail. Making all the stuffing around worthless.

Just something to think about, don't get too crazy with taking material out everywhere you can.

$800 is quite expensive when you can get a proper after market one for $400 more :/

That's why you take it to a pro. Dont want some tard making your manifold into tissue paper.And air temps through manifold are now cooler And has less resistance travelling through. Despite loosing material I would say its prob a little safer, If not the same as stock. As long as too much material isn't taken out.

Regarding external gate that I think is a fair call. Hanging weight off a thinner material may not be a great idea.

Only internally gated bottom mount manifolds I found were 1800. So this was the cheaper option for me. Pretty happy all round!

ported stock manifold $800... 6boost $1200.. i know which one i would go.

If top mount or externally gated. Yep. Anyone got cfm 6boob. Cos my gains are pretty good. Nearly 30rwkw. 100nm torque. Forget the name. How's it flow?

I'm certain there has been at the least one user who did get it professionally done, and it cracked after a little while (not immediate).

Hard to know with every single manifold how much to/not-to take out etc

Yeah top mount all the way, especially for that sort of coin..

Also there's a few welding gates onto manifolds lately, yes it works to sone extent but this is a budget hack mod..those of you with cash to spend on good setups shouldn't even be considering it..

Yeah I'm looking at you Nick ;)

Yeah. Time will tell I guess. Hopefully turns out OK :)

hahahahahha thanks yer i know i was looking for the easy way out but it looks like ill have to 6boost it with a comment like that.or if i could get my hands on a hks low mount one.

looks like im going to have to sell my 2000k old ceramic coated .87 pro s rear housing & dump it never ends ARTZ !!

No limit so far going bottom mount. Manifold could have Been a hiccup, but 50% flow increase is a nice gain. Plus I look stock under the bonnet.

Standard dif haha.

Haha no wonder she is a pig to drive :woot:

Get a decent diff and feel how much straighter she drives and how much more pressure it puts on your tail bone when she starts putting the power down....

Absolute next mod for ya shopping cart mate :thumbsup:

Lol. Read pig as "beast" and yes. Need dif. Like a cusco semi locked number?I get the impression fully locked will drive me bananas.

lHaha i have a 2way id say 1.5 would be better for the street or an R34 diff if $$$ are tight :P

I run a Tomei 2-Way in the 34.. they are really not as bad as you would think, unless your cornering at a decent speed and have to launch the brakes you wont slide around

Yeah? Hmm. I would have though avoid 2way? From the info I'm gathering 1.5 may be the go. What's main dif (pun intended)between 1.5 and 2 way as far as day to day drive ability. What am I gonna feel when doing things like round normal corners or a maccas drive through?

    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
    • Cracked deck  And other cam snap stuff   
    • A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.
