I've searched, but not found.

About a year and a half ago I remember a bloke on here (from nz rings a bell?) was asking for help on making some steam pipe manifolds for sr's & rb's. he made a few and sold them here priced at about $400 from memory...

Can anyone link me?

Cheers

probably easier navigating on his site.. but read carefully... on these forums before committing

Why you say this? Out of interest...

All i can find is that the are not perfect flat, and putting the Bolts in is quite hard on on the low mount version.


But for that price....taking it to a machine shop and flattening it seems like a pretty good deal to me.

( others say its a ebay manifold just "redone" )

Customer service is a very big thing in today's world. But some times I can understand why. Some people expect everything for next to nothing. As what was said before. ITS A $350 manifold. What can you really expect Go get it machined for $50 and bobs your uncle. Bolt it up and away you go.

well i already planned to get one knowing the issues.

The price + low mount to me = win.

Ill be getting the low mount External gate, i will then get it machined.

be sure to take photos :)

I'm still tossing up between 6boobies or Rex Kelways or ETM or Hybrid Perf

^ thanks

The saying 'you get what you pay for' rings true with everything to do with cars... No surprises, but for $350-$400 seems good.

Having said that I've just seen the Rex kelway thread in NS, now to enquire about the cost

I would prefer nothing if it means dealing with 6boob. Customer service goes out the window if you ask for anything custom.

There are hundreds of fabricators around the country that could make a decent manifold but none that can do it for $400...

Rex Kelways does sex work in terms of manifolds. he's willing to customise anything you want... twin scroll, with 2x outlets merged into 1x etc.. but because his work is sexy, it's expensive.

I'm still tossing up with manifolds (thanks to Mr Tax man, my turbo upgrade money is going to him)

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
