Anyone have any experience with these ?  https://artecperformance.com.au/products/artec-nissan-skyline-rb-exhaust-manifold-v-band-reverse-rotation

 

What got my interest was the 7.1kg, my last 6boost was solid 12kg.  Not to mention it didn't fit... wait i just did :) 

I also like the off the shelf blanket option.  I've had real heat issues with my current setup. 

 

The reverse rotation is a bit tits as it means new turbo and new piping.

I've got one, just fitting up now...

I also opted for new studs and went the titanium route and access to the two lower front nuts is basically impossible with a conventional socket or ring spanner... Think I'm going to have to get creative 🙃

Haven't heard of anyone having this issue but I guess they are still relatively newish...

You can get two different sized titanium nut kits(different makers), can't tell from pics but I assume yours are the 12mm ? 

 

Please keep posting pic's keen to hear / see all the good and bad ! 

 

Seems like you have a lot of clearance to strut tower, this is in the 32R ? 

Also interested in seeing potential space for a new turbosmart straight gate 

 

Also looks like so so much room underneath compared to a 6boost, not sure what you would use it for but I am sure the AC lines would appreciate it :)

wasn't aware of the different sized stud kits 😕 These are from EFI Solutions...

Ye the clearance so far seems pretty good, tis a 32 GTR... Fabbing dump pipe etc. now...

I'm only running a conventional Turbosmart external gate...

Was hoping I'd get away with not having to move the Power Steering Reservoir but that was probably a tad naïve of me ;)

Looks tops, nice to see a picture that isn't straight form Artec. I'll be interested to hear how you go with that front stud, looks like a bastard.

Mine is en route from Brisvegas to Melbourne now, but reverse rotation G30 turbos are out of stock. FFS.

very sexy...

will never understand why guys use those mesh flexi joints, bad news...

Yeah i agree, have seen plenty leak but admittely a while ago. They've got the proper baffled one on the wastegate pipe so not sure why they wouldn't use baffled version for both...?

Speaking of stock issues, no reverse rotation housings available until March at the earliest for the G30's. I blame Artec, everybody got on board and now I can't get a turbo.

Talk about first world problems.

i was gobsmacked when i bought all my gear on the black Friday sales that everything was actually in stock...

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
