lmao what'd you honestly expect..

The bolts are shit, but not impossible with the right tools. Take a break and come back with a clear head. I'd suggest a 1/4" drive extension and uni to get through the runners.

Alternatively, throttle body off and get under there with a ratchet spanner.

Hey jordy thanks for ur advice !
I have watched every video I could find and read everything I could..
I have removed the throttle body and tried to eliminate everything I can get to, but I don't think anything has ever been done to my car everything is really brittle. I've tried a uni joint, but that's too long to get right under the bolt and the ratchet spanner fits but there's no room to turn to crack it open.
I've left it and come back for 2 days and tried from every angle and now I'm really pissed off I have to catch the train to work instead of enjoying my lovely car!
Its so frustrating if it wasn't for those 2 bolts I would have fixed my car by now!
Isn't there someone who wants to be a hero and show me how its done??
I don't have the money for a tow to a mechanic and anyway I actually enjoy working on my own car...it's just the most shittiest spot ever to put bolts!!
Why????

I just put a manifold together on the car, i used a 3/8 ratchet with the smallest extension.
You should be able to see the front one so just take note of the position of the ratchet under the manifold and replicate on the other 2.

Can u come and help me then ?

I would but im in Sydney lol

I took a different approach. (not saying mine is better, because it looks like other ways could be more efficient)

I removed the throttle body and fuel rail, then attacked all bolts underneath with a ratchet spanner. I didn't remove fuel filter or anything on the strut side of the manifold.

If I can do it with my dough boy hands I'm sure you can do it :)

You said you tried with a ratchet spanner and couldn't move it? Did you get the TB and fuel rail out of the way? Show us a couple pics so we can see how you're attacking it.

      I've got a spare standard box sitting in the garage  I know it will come one day though, but it's driven pretty tamely on the four times a year it gets out...

      Big question… have you decided on a gearbox? Because it’s going to come… and a gearset ain’t going to do the job.    save your pennies 🤪

      Thanks for the quick replies guys its appreciated. A small extension was welded onto the standard 6boost external gate pipe which you can see where the pipe goes from black to stainless just below and to the right of the rear housing in the first picture. Overall I would say the flow is pretty good other than 6boosts choice to come straight off the collector at a decent angle.. Not sure why I went with two valves, I originally replaced the stock twin bovs with the GFB when I had the twins on. When I purchased the EFR it came with the Turbosmart Kompact BOV so I figured that would be a better option than the stock EFR Bov. I don't believe the Turbosmart BOV is adjustable? When I get the spike and then sudden dip in boost pressure, the turbo speed does drop as well. Stock head size wise however I believe it has Neo Turbo springs and a Neo Turbo intake camshaft and an aftermarket exhaust camshaft in the vicinity of 260 degrees. We didn't try a different MAC valve, we tried two different ways of plumbing it and we also tried removing the mac valve entirely and just having the boost source from the turbo directly connected to the wastegate and it still spiked / dropped and exhibited the same behaviour. Standard R33 GTR 5 speed tansmission. I'm running a Haltech Elite 2500 and can provide some logs if you. I understand what you're saying in that it looks like an auto plot however no, it's still a manual and it just has a lot of torque down low, for all intents and purposes it's a very impressive street car. I've attached a photo of the quickbitz dyno plot which was when the only difference is I was running -5 twin turbos with a mac valve. As you can see theres a decent dip in AFRs between 125kmh and 135kmh. Our problem now is not that the AFRs are dropping, just the boost pressure is dropping, however it is evident in the same RPM range of the map, coincidentally or not.
