Thinking of changing the standard exhaust manifold on my R33 gtst. Im making 250rwkw, hoping to get it flowing a little better. What is the nest way to go? i have the following options in my mind:

1) get a stainless steel one off ebay or the like for around $400...(im worried if they are dodgy and will crack and not sure if they are tuned lenght)??

2) liverpool exhausts quoted me $1200 to get one custom done + fitted then ill HPC coat it.. thats tuned length..

3) HKS one or the like,

by the way this is for a low mount turbo in stock position...

hey croat,

stay away from the cheap ebay/chinacopy stuff. you will have way to many problems with it not fitting correctly and the very high possable of it cracking in the near future.

option 2/3 are you best bet. if you can find something like a low-mount cast-iron HKS manifold, buy it as its one of the best lowmount manifold around for an rb20/25 (only problem is that it is to suit an ext gate)

$1200 is alot of money, and im guesing you could get a hks/trust/apexi one for around the same price but mostly it will be high-mount and to suit an ext gate.

Ask the exhuast shop how much for the manifold, without fitting as it is a very easy job, and im sure you could pull it off yourself (if u got the tools and abit of time) which may save you a few dollars.

Good luck and just remember you get what you pay for so stay away from the cheap crap :blink:

hope that helps

cheers mikey :)

We are up to 265 rwkw with the standard exhaust manifold on the R34GTT. If you are looking for less than 300 rwkw, personally I would have a go at power porting the standard manifold.

Abrasive Flow Enginering at St Marys did some others that I liked the look of, defiitely worth a try.

:( cheers :(

Maybe also check out this guy out, cost around the $1000 mark.

I've only heard good things so far, so he must be doing something right.

From all reports I believe the 6boost stuff is up there quality wise and probably performance wise with the Jap stuff. But you are better off to get in touch with 6boost himself and make your own mind up.

Unless you are specifically after a brand name and the bragging rights that go with it, I don't see why you wouldn't consider a good local product.

His collector design certainly appear to be unique.

Have a look halfway down that thread for a pic of the R31GTSR factory manifold.

Might be able to still get it through Nissan and if so should be able to get the factory heatsheild as well for a stock appearance.

too f..ken much!!!!

here is my recent purchase for my build up.. overkill for my goals.. but hell they are sex all over!

i probably paid a bit too much for em .. even with the HPC coat.. but finding them alone.. and for sale was enough.

is it an ex GTSr fred gibson motorsport one. apparently..... they flowed the same as the standard manifold.. but in split pulse to help spool up. pretty much the same idea as the GTSR. gains of around 25rwkw was typical, bolt on.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
