Check it out. 6 from 12 studs snapped under ring spanner back and forth careful arm pressure.centre popped and easy outed all fully drilled, tapped and ready for new genuine nissan studs washers and nuts. The manifold was so warped it was ridiculous. It's in being Re-faced now. Butter bolt studs and rattled up I reckon. Madness.

I heated mine up white once when it had a problem and it was distorted about 10mm across faces

Had to get another one

Paid with more work and high expectations?

Labour of love, engine rebuild and some light fabrication to fit a turbo to it [emoji48] 8.50s here we come 
You're a animal. [emoji882] top of the line German to drag 2 wheel 4 wheel jap and everything in-between. Big Jobs. I've been stuck inside the belly of the beast. Madness. Slowly but slowly. Pulled the last poxy bolt with 3x extensions and a uni joint on the rattle gun that was hidden away drilled and tapped into a I beam across the chassis rail.

    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
    • But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...
    • I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference
    • I didn't actually try it at the time but a Launch X431 with the appropriate software licenses/upsell will have the ABS bleed function. The Consult II you can still find some old sets of equipment but they're really, really expensive:   
    • Well I'll start by saying I'm not an engineer. I am going to go with the KiwiCNC ones.  They are made of 7050 alloy have good fillets and radius.  The material alone is in the order of double the strength and fatigue resistance - Those bolts, once torqued correctly place most of the load at the flat face of the mating surface - the 'stretch' you're talking about through torqueing them up would be far more than the extra stretch 'load' placed on them from a steering input or bump. (in my opinion) so I doubt they would flinch.    - but again "not an engineer".      oh and I don't think stitch welding 7050 is a good idea, likely just weaken the material (from what I read)
