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)

    • The title should have posted "EFR7670 exhaust housing selection RB26" I can seem to edit thr title on my Android.
    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
