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.

Southern hemisphere, needs reverse rotation.

I really love it when people create smoothly distributed pulse-free gas inlets and outlets with no upstream or downstream geometry, no pressure fluctuations (which are actually waaaaay more than just

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 know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
