Wd mate. Where did you get your skirts?

Would it be the same parts list for the next GB? Would they take requests?

hello nismo spats! I'm happy to wait for the weathershields so you can send the lot...

Try matt geach, can send you his dets if you want. He's always getting promoted at work and prices seem fairly reasonable

52mm gauge?

Thanks everyone for their input. Going by advice, I think the plan will be to replace all the gaskets on the turbo side, hopefully that's all the problem is. From there i'll stick with the orig plan of nistune and dial in some extra boost then go NPC organic clutch when that fails. I think i'll go for a high flow job ultimately, and then injectors and fuel pump and re-tune (mortgage allowing ) Looking at the dyno thread I think the first step will bring teh lulz, and then i'll move on from there....any chance I will hit 200 with 10/11psi, nistune, fmic and exhaust? others seemed to go close.

Haha, my mechanic is actually a good mate that I have know for years....I think he just wants me to build a hottie (and work on something fun). Hopefully its just a gasket and I can change it myself....never pulled a turbo or anything off before though so the long and short of it is: If I upgrade the turbo move towards a high mount? If hiflow a worthwhile exercise? what about sticking with the stock mani and getting one of the hypergear etc straight bold on jobs? I will have a dig around on the dyno thread. Cheers everyone for the advice, very helpful

Ok, so i'm going to at least pull some of the heat shields and other rubbish off to make it easier for the mechanic, and enable me to have a peep myself. Will check studs, manifold for cracks and gaskets... And sif 'Raymond Terrace' isn't a name...sounds like a serial killer

Sweet, thanks Ray. Bit disappointed I missed your pre-edit post... My mechanic is trying to con me into getting a 6boost one made up as they are local and the 'best', but having just bought a house I think this would just open a big can of worms for me Particularly if the stock mani can flow to 300rwkw I don't think I would bother changing it. Would there be any gains AT ALL with a 6boost/hottie manifold running the stock turbo? Surely a bit more flow? I think my money would be better off going into nistune/boost controller/clutch first up... Lastly, does anyone know if the T3 gasket is something that does commonly needs replacing on the NEO's/RB's?

Hi all, I appear to have a cracked manifold or a shagged gasket as the car sounds like a grain truck on the exhaust side of the engine. As there is a fair bit of labour involved with replacing whatever the problem is, be it manifold or gasket, I am tossing up my options should I need a new manifold. I am not completely averse to the idea of upgrading/hiflowing the turbo down the track (has 85thou on the odometer). However, before this happened I was days off getting a nistune and boost controller installed. With that in mind I am wondering what the best bang for buck manifold is that would suit a wide variety of suitable turbo's? If I were to stay with the stock turbo for a while, would an upgraded manifold be a waste of time? Would I need a tune or anything else? any help appreciated...

Did you say exhaust manifold was sold?

Cheers Trent. 229 is damn juicy with warranty! I should hit him up for a commission

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone had come across this deal on ebay: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Gizzmo-MSIBC-Boost-Controller-/180983861128?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2a237a8f88 It's a brand new Gizzmo MS-IBC "direct from the manufacturer" for $229 delivered. Looks to be a new member so wondering how legit it is? Pretty good deal I thought. Please move thread if this should be somewhere else...

Yep

Tried this, got about 4/5 months out of it but it went horribly yellow afterwards.

any idea on cost or aus stockist?

have used that combination with good results also. However, it lacks longevity

Need one of the above in working order. Let me know what you got
