Thanks GTSBoy, appreciated

I have a 6 boost manifold and it has loads of bends etc. turbo has a cover however manifold doesn’t so I started to wrap what I could without taking turbo off. Very restricted area are you stating wrapping could lead to cracking weld? Is that because heat is retained? i have a exhaust gas temp right after turbo and it hits 700degree or 800 at times. there are areas which is impossible to reach with fibre glass cloth. Is there anything I could apply such as the photo shared earlier which would formulate around exhaust pipe in difficult to reach areas, sort of like aluminium foil flexible to shape it in place? i think from earlier reply you mentioned acl? Is this what you meant? https://www.nstparts.com/product/acl-heat-shield-700x275 photo of my engine bay https://ibb.co/9grHsMN https://ibb.co/bXC8KRM https://ibb.co/KV3kGZc I am trying to cover bottom of the exhaust manifold which joins the turbo. Only way is to take turbo and possible manifold out as it also touches the engine mount which I don’t fancy doing

Does exhaust manifold get hot as turno exhuast side? I have a turbo cover to managr heat in the engine bay but nothing is covering the exhaust manifold before turbo i know as turbo does compress air, the temp does go up however does that mean exhaust manifold would be as hot?

Silly me, thanks mate:)

I downloaded the gtr r32 manual which I understand will be pretty much same as r34 i rear the page in screenshot and if I understand correctly, the torque for the 4 bolts are 78-98 nm. Why a range? what does number below it mean( 8-10 ,52-78)?

Lol I changed mine, £90 is cheaper than few k to rebuild

Thanks again, really helpful chap from alpha omega wanted to speak to me, little concerned if this is meant to he aero alloy/ airospace quality and car sitting on drive has caused this. Airplane are subject to much more changing temp and conditions than road salts! My caliper, many other components much older have surface rust but never eating part of the metal Had I not seen it , could have been a disaster! specifically on rear part of bracket coming off like biscuit will update on what they say, helpful people so far

appreciated it thanks There are threads on the adaptor. I rear re anodising but didn’t know it will reduce strength re mating services needing to be flat/ not painted, why would that be? I am devastated as car been off for a year, fixed power steering then installed bm57 master cylinder and just before driving it this came up. So annoyed worried and afraid to drive it, no fun caliper coming off

Thanks does painting on aluminium work or stop them from corroding?

So unsafe would you say now? little bit of has come off, guess road salt is a nightmare for Japanese car. Mx5 here have a well known issue or rotting

Here is picture of the rear brackets again seeming to have eating itself or corrode or whatever. Can’t describe it , hope someone could explain this

No i am in the uk so maybe road salt etc but checked rear and same story where handbrake cable seems to have eaten part of the bracket. Have emailed alpha omega waiting for reply

I guess i have not done much miles on mine. Do they fail / squeking sound coming from them after a bit of use?

Checking with alpha omega Spec from their website 100% CNC machined billet 7075-T6 aerospace alloy https://www.alphaomegaracing.com/product/evo-350mm-brembo-brakes/

I have replaced everything on my r34 including suspension to Miester R, all rear subframe bushes to poly, all arms to metal adjustable and same in front. only thing I haven't touched is the front lower control arm. Should I? what improvement can i expect ? I mean the one on the link below? Car drives perfectly, it is just me thinking everything is either puly bush or hard bearing type so should also do lower control arm front but do I really need it ? https://www.japspeed.co.uk/product/suspension/adjustable-arms/nissan-200sx-s13-s14-s15-skyline-r32-r33-r34-adjustable-suspension-front-lower-control-arms/?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAo5u6BhDJARIsAAVoDWs5V_PauQPf0kx3zFCaA4tOC9Q7JSIsfJWma_jAPN2f1sJA686djOwaAidgEALw_wcB
