ok so ive purchased myself a twinscroll dual wastegate highmount 6boost mani for my r34

I seem to have come to a slight impass whilst test fitting before taking to the ceramic coaters.

my problem is that it hits on one of the hard lines going to my ac compressor. just want to know if anyone can recommend a shop in Sydney that could make up a custom line for me if its possible

or if someone else has had this issue and found another solution, its the one on the top at the back of it that goes up through the firewall.

ive already disconnected it and it clears everything else, just going to get some heat sleeving and shielding for surrounding cables and lines.

note that I did use the search function but could not find anything of help

thanks

i had the same issue with mine, kyle(6boost) offered to fix it for free, but i ended up just getting an a/c line modded,

just go to your local a/c or radiator place. thats where i got mine done

or send it back to be fixed

I got it off one of his suppliers who told me to just bend it out of the way. I've already dropped it off to be ceramic coated so definitely not sending it back. Might try bend it n if it snaps or kinks I'll just go check out an ac place.

owenliberts what did they do to mod it and how much was it roughly?

This also happened to some one who uses the same mechanic as me, think his name is Jamie and he is a member on here. R34 GTR "HALUCN8" apparently no one has given Kyle at 6boost about it. Jamie apparently spoke to Kyle about it at Jamboree

I told kyle, but was told, ghats the right manifold.

as I said, knock it out of the way, works ok so far.

also have ceramic coating.

and some heat wrap.

Luke GTR what did u use to give it some persuasion, a small pipe bender would be good, don't wanna buy one just for this though

lump of wood and a hammer helped.

also, a pry bar.

look on ebay for heat proof tape/pipe coverings.

can take some punishment.

should help prolong the life of the ac.

ok cool thanks guys. going to give the old hammer and timber trick a go when I get the mani back tomorrow hopefully, failing that a visit to an ac shop.

and yeah ive ordered some of that flame proof shielding stuff to wrap my pipes and cables

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
