Anthony is SST autos as well and has lost a lot of time with this car.

The Manifold is nothing to do with SST and yet we put in all the time needed then cop net bagging and you wonder why we get upset.We suppled an ECU and tryed to tune it when this problem showed up so how is it our fault

PER4MANZ used one of our manifolds today and its perfect but we didnt have the manifolds when grant needed one for your car.

The manifold. All 6 pipes collect just under the turbo flange pointing at the turbo opening so as the revs rise the gas wont turn to exit thru the waste gate.

Hey, everyone...

SAU = No Workshop bagging environment, or hinting towards it please.

Posts edited accordingly.

I aint handed out warnings on this occasion as im not having a bad day for a change.

So take that as a blessing :cheers:

That being said, Steve-SST and his workshop are well respected around here.

And his son has an awesome GTS-R too, maybe i'll be able to come over for a dual photo session this year :)

I had no problems with you and Anthony and as previuosly mentioned, i understand the situation and have worked along side all of you to try and fix this problem.

******

I was not given an option other than i had to wait 2 weeks for the manifold i have now, nothing was mentioned about your supply of manifolds.I never said i want a monifold NOW, subsequently i was supplied one that doesnt work! (for the record i want people reading this to acknowledge the fact that Grant from PER4ORMANZ has been more than helpfull in trying to resolve this, he also has put in time to sort this out,).But unfortunately i still have a car that makes uncontrollable boost.I now have to by pass the middle men and go to the manifold maker, who is talking go smaller turbo ( GT 25 or 30 ). Sure i am willing to try this but i must admitt it sounds like a patch rather than cure.

It looks like i am on my own now because it's all to hard.

What have i done to deserve this apart from engage proffesional services to do a simple job?

My belief is that a more mature approach should have be taken on all parties behalf and sort this problem out, what more can i realistically say!

Piont taken, not bagging but stating simple facts.No one wants to be put in this situation, it's time consumming ,frustrating and most concerning it strains relationships within the club membership , i for one don't want this but one has to stand up for what is correct.

Steve you owe a few people an apologies.  You in fact know dick about manifold design an or turbocharger selection.  Yes it is best to keep each exhaust pulse separate and unmolested right up to and as CLOSE TO THE TURBINE INLET.  Over boosting in this situation is not a result of a bad manifold  but your own inability to problem solve and identify the problem.  The problem has now been solved and has been shown to be a problem with two cylinders running excessively rich causing a anti lag effect. The car now has no boost control problems along with other vehicles running these exact same manifolds (most of which produce 400+ RWHP with internally standard RB25).

I WONT FLAME YOU ANYMORE AIDS FACE INSTEAD I MIGHT JUST COME DOWN AND PUNCH YOUR SMELLY **** IN.  IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO WATCH THOSE YOU HAVE IRRESPONSIBLY SLANDERED KICK THE PISS OUT OF YOU.  BUT THESE GUYS ARE TO NICE SO THAT IS WHY I MIGHT TAKE IT UPON MYSELF TO OVERSEE A LITTLE JUSTICE, YOU BLOODY ****RIDING, SQUAT TO PISS, LIMP WRISTED, SHIRT LIFTING, ARSE CLOWN.

Funny stuff, i hear this car is still in trouble so we will wait and see.

I don't think this guy likes you very much Steve. :headspin:

PS; I really would like to see a picture of the offending manifold, I have heard of this sort of stuff but (like the Yeti) never actually seen it. :D

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
