Hi All,

Does anybody know how to order the HKS Style Stainless RB25DET manifolds from www.manifolds.cn ?

$150USD for a stainless manifold seems to good to be true but I have heard that people have bought these before and are having no problems with them.

I have left them numerous anounts of emails but never get any replies.

I have just found out that my standard manifold has a nice big crack in it.

Or is there anyone else that has reasonably prices Stainless Manifolds for sale.

Any help would be much appreciated

Cheers

I've heard all sorts of bad things about these manifolds but then I had a customer buy one of the SR20 manifolds a couple of weeks ago and it definitely looked the part. Welding was beautiful and all the ports were hand blended.

I had to grind one bolt boss off the head to clear #3 pipe and the factory cast dump pipe interferes slightly on the bellhousing requiring a little grinding, would probably be no problem with a dump pipe they also sell for US$30 or so from what I can remember.

The flange plates are mild steel but the pipes are not magnetic. One pipe comes into the collector at almost 90deg to the turbo flange but I suppose this is a compromise for space, still, I'd say it would have to flow better than the standard cast manifold and for the price of one you couldnt buy the flange plates and bends to make your own from steam pipe.

Some people seem to be worried about the manifolds cracking eventualy, but really for that price, buy 2 and keep a spare for when it does!

I haven't seen an RB25 manifold but if it's similarly made I'd be happy to use one for the price they are on my own car, maybe not for a customers where I'd be up for the cost of replacing it if it did crack.

It's like most things, Quality costs and you cant expect a $250 manifold to last as long as a $2000 one!

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
