hey guys, long version of the story is,

i am about to upgrade the turbos on my 34 gtr to -5's and i am interested in having the exhaust manifolds port matched, extrude honed and ceramic coated. having said that i would like to have it all there and ready to swap over when i do it. question is, i have access to a pair of r33gtr turbo manifolds so was going to get them modified if there were the same and then just swap them over. if not i will just source a pair of 34's from somewhere but if they are the same it will save me some money and time.

cheers adam

To answer the question - Same mate.

Go and get 33 ones sorted out :thumbsup:

From what people who have done back to back dyno testing with a stock manifold vs ported manifold I've spoken to, have said they've lost response getting rid of the lip (porting) because exhaust velocity was reduced, whereas keeping the lip does act as a restriction when your power target is beyond the 350kw mark. Some workshops have confirmed this when I've contacted them, they even recommend keeping the stock manifolds as they are for -9 (GT-SS) & -7 (N1) turbos for response.

How about stock vs ported on -10s going for over 400kw? Would getting it all ceramic coated help with boost threshold?

Don't need -10's for over 400. Sort your setup out and have some "response" under 5500.

I agree with this, but it should be noted that Nissan supplied an essential ported manifold for N1 engines (r34 at least anyways)..which may indicate they started seeing restriction at much lower power levels.

Ok, to extend on this.

I have recieved my turbos and the manifolds too. Just waiting on my hpi dumps before sending them all away to be coated. My question now is, i initially was going to get unique autosport to extrude hone and port match them. Is there someone else i should go through or are they the goods when it comes to this. In their advert they say they port them to the gaskets but is there really any need to go bigger than the turbo flange? I have no intention of porting the turbo housings.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
