Quote From manufacturers ad

I have spoken to a manufacturer who will be releasing their RB26 Manifolds shortly and with RRP set at $1299 is it definitely a viable and cheaper option compared to HKS headers.

General description:

Complete stainless steel (3mm thick!), mandrel bent and equal length headers/turbo extractors. Minimum gain we have seen is 12% (At the wheels) on a dead stock R32 GTR. These are a complete bolt on for all RB26 Engines and also have fittings for the factory heat shield.

Firstly these headers are brand new and construction is from mandrel bent stainless steel. Other popular brands have mild steel flanges that have been "chromed" (or Painted) giving it the stainless look but not the associated benefits. The difference in flanges is the stainless steel will aid in gasket life and reliability with pipes and flanges expanding at the same rate. I know I personally don't want to be changing gaskets in 6 to 12months time, this is an evident property of mild steel flanges mixed with SS pipes as they expand and contract at different rates, which eventually causes them to warp! Ours are constructed of the same grade Stainless steel so they won't do this- ever!

Mandrel bent pipe work in 3mm stainless and direct bolt on for all RB26 engines. We have also included a provision for the factory heat shield to keep under bonnet temp down. In addition, these can also be heat wrapped or HPC coated for further improvements

Included are:

-Headers (For 1 engine)

-Manifold to head gaskets

-Turbo Gasket

Bends and welds are kept to a minimum to improve exhaust velocity and pipe length is made as even as possible (equal length). With these fitted you will see a power increase from around 1800 RPM all the way to 8000 RPM (not all Rb26's rev to 8,000) providing a broad power range. This makes every day driving a lot more enjoyable especially for those of you who are running aftermarket turbo's. The car is really that much better to drive! With a stock turbo, the power/torque drop off above 6500 isn't as bad and boost comes on a little earlier providing stronger mid range torque that hits like a bomb. The top end power increase is due to 2 reasons. Firstly; boost doesn't drop off like the factory manifold does. Secondly; the efficiency and flow is improved at high rpm driving- this was optimized for people using turbo upgrades such as garrett and HKS turbo's. In Addition the collector flange has been closer match ported. If you have a look at the factory manifolds you will notice a fairly large step where the manifold mates to the turbo's. We have changed this to a smooth entry. Perfect for street/track cars.

In addition to this they also have a sound change which is inevitable with the velocity increase in the exhaust. The exhaust does sound tougher (higher pitched roar) with these fitted. Expect around 27 hp (at the wheels) on a stock RB26. Bigger gains have been seen with more modifications/better quality parts fitted but due to so many variables, the gains have been from 37 rwhp (about 20%) to a whopping 69 rw hp on a severely restricted car (This car had all the bolt on goodies and ended up making just over 500 hp (at all 4 wheels). This makes for a cost effective power increase!

This doesn't just add top end power but increases overall power and power under the graph making your car overall quicker in a variety of situations including out of corners, partial throttle, up steep hills etc. Its easy to make something that improves power, but improving power over the entire useable RPM range and partial throttle is not so easy. Not only this, we have seen full boost reached 400 rpm earlier on a stock car and nearly 950 RPM on a more modified car. This makes a massive difference to the fun factor especially on the street and accelerating out of the corners. Unfortunately the dyno graph doesn't show partial throttle improvements in response, drivability and off boost torque. We will post dyno graphs shortly. This will fit your stock turbo or another bolt on.

Yes!

But they were for the 1st generation.

These have been revised since then.

-Heavily polished

-pipe work is redesigned for better flow

-Machined and polished flanges

-better quality welds

-modifed JIG for easier fitment

-Additional bracing

Edit: Was just told about more details

The pics look very much like the ones I saw a few weeks back but the workmanship does look very good.

amosite... have you actually seen one of these and had a close up look.

do you know where these are made?

I'd like a set without the posts for the heat shields.

And yes very interested unless I pick up a set before hand

Yes, I have seen these in person!

I have also seen them in comparison to the 1st gen and some of the cheap chinese shit going around! You get what you pay for in the latter.

These are made in the land of the rising sun!

Im definitly in on this batch.

I asked him about the posts and they are for heat sheilds. I wasnt too keen on running them after fitting them but it is vital otherwise the intercooler pipes suffer heat soak as they sit just above the manifolds.

I still want them without the posts!!!

Can they get them this way?

They should even be cheaper !!!!!(6 less welds)

what diameter is the pipe on these manifolds? can they be done in a larger diameter pipe

They are 42mm each. You wouldn want them any bigger as they start to induce lag and are only really a benifit if your going to be running more then 950 hp and 12,000 rpm.

Who makes these? What grade stainless? Have they been flow tested, and if so, what were the results?

Cheers,

Lucien.

[email protected] makes them

304 Stainless

They havent been flow tested. I believe that flow bench data has very little to do with performance on exhaust manifolds. Dyno and on road testing is more useful as exhaust heat has a major impact on outright flow.

I bought a pair from Roguepi off ebay, One had large loose dags inside which broke off easily. All surfaces had to be faced as they were massively warped($160) and I paid him for overnight delivery which took almost 2 weeks...and he is also in sydney. Quality is quite good on first inspection but looking deep inside there are(were the 3 pipes meet near the turbo flange) large lumpy flow reducing welds. They are quite cheap but still required alot of work to bring up to scratch. The Turbo flange is also a larger size to stock turbos and HKS 2530's etc which require's maching of the exhuat housing to match. Look at the pic's and then at your turbine inlet see what i mean. Oh and the heat shield bolts don't come close to lining up. All I can say is physically check before you buy.

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
