They are a good thing Pete but the welding is crap. Not to say its not good enough to do the job but being a welder im pretty fussy and i think its substandard.

After the design is sorted, the welding is the major factor, if they are not welded by a robot I guess it is down to the bloke doing the job on the day.

Apparently they have they been making these manifolds for a while, you would think they could get the welding down pat by now?

It's to late now don't you think?

With some people liking it and others not are down to personal taste, whether they got a dodgy mani, application and a million other factors.

It is better than that Swiss cheese mani you had

You seem down on everything and everybody, nark down a notch or 2, CHILL :cheers:

Yes it's too late now for me, yes it will be better than the Swiss cheese model I have and a good one is better than a bad one, duh :/

I asked for blokes that have had them or know first hand what they are like so I understand what I should expect from this product.

I would also like to know if there are boost benefits with them , you know , helpful stuff, informative input. :)

My point was, take everything with a grain of salt.

6boost have a lifetime warranty against cracking, so there's that.

I had a chat to Jez about this car, interesting story. Cant wait till its back on the road. :cheers:

Yes Mitch, there have been some strange going ons with this build and after a while it becomes normal to find something else is stuffed up ,lol

Trouble is , who's life do 6Boost base the warranty on , I guess if it is mine I will not have to worry about it, haha

I think things are very close to a much better outcome, the car is in pretty good nick , so all good :no:

You seem to like making cuts before you sprinkle the salt :goodnight:

Haha, you guys have a love-hate relationship eh?

So many people run 6boost manifolds and have done for years, probably because they're relatively cheap and easily accessible. Are they the best? Perhaps not, but they definitely get the job done. I've got a 6boost manifold, I've had boost creep issues and my tuner reckons it's down to the design of the manifold though it's certainly not bad enough to warrant me going out and buying a different one from Full Race / Raw Brokerage / whatever else is out there. I think you will be more than happy with the manifold, I certainly wouldn't spend any time worrying about it and I'm sure that once it's bolted to your motor you will give zero thoughts to it ever again.

haha, there is no love there, well, except for his car, nice ride :)

I am not worried about any of it, I just like to ask question. I know shit all and that has been the only way I can learn any of this and there is so much to learn. I have had a few problems but do not let it get me down, it is just the time factor, it is frustrating when you get your car back and it is not as good as it should be and in it goes again :/

The major problem for me with forums are the conflicting opinions , so like most people, I then tend to listen to like minded people who have the sort of car that interests me.

What you have said is what I have come to understand.the 6boost brand is pretty good for the price but there are others that could be better.

They are more designed more for racing than street arent they... the runners are much larger than a stock mani and the gate at a 90deg angle which isnt optimal for boost control... To me they seem like a large 4 into 1 extractor that V8's would use for top end and big power...

But with 3L you got plenty of gas to flow anyway...

Well you say better - lets see the results when you finally get it back because i have not been impressed. :P

RIPS are wanting motive DVD to do a direct bottom end swap with a RB30 to prove to all what is better on the road/track/dyno.

For some reason I already believe the RB30 will be better.

I am interested.

Hi Brent, the good thing is we are both not impressed but we will see.

There are some pretty handy 3.2l out there, better than the 3.0 , guess it depends on the builder and $s spent ?? but I do not care, just want the car running as it should and be able to drive again :)

What's there to prove, A VL block with same setup boost will come in earlier and off boost there will be more torque. What Andrew did was great and just reconfirmed what Mines did all those years ago.

People have been changing diff ratios for a 100 years to make their cars accelerate faster. Nothing new.

Looks like my life is over now.

There are no rails around the GAP, feel what it's like to fly :)

Nothing wrong with the fall , it is just the sudden stop at the bottom that's a bummer :whistling:

Good! Tell jez to wind the wick up :)

I know I am a boring old fart but I have not tried to turn the wick up, well up top, but with a shit load of torque, 900Nm you would think it would burn a little rubber from 6000rpm, not just a skip .

I am sure it felt stronger going from 7000rpm as a 2.6 , STOP! I do not want to hear it , hahaha

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
