G'day peoples, I'm interested in anybody whos made up their own manifolds.

High mount/ low mount, whatever it may be.

Just looking for an aftermarket manifold and really not satisfied with their shape. The only shape I liked was this HKS stainless tubular zorst that I saw on ebay for about 1600 bucks :D. Even that looked like it could be improved, maybe you have a bit of a room issue under the bonnet of a Skyline.

Mainly interested in a manifold suited to a high powered RB20DET, so if you are willing to share some info on the ideal manifold, made one yourself. I'll pass on my thoughts as well.

Cheers

Turbine.

the best exhaust manifold I have seen for RB20/25's is the GTSR Group A from Nissan. It is equal length, exceptionally well made and utilises the superior (for circuit racing) low/rear mount. A true work of art.

Not a good picture, I have better ones somewhere, I'll post them up later.

:( cheers :(

were can those GTSR manifolds be picked up?

R31House... or 2nd hand.

Considering there are only 800 original item... which i dare say a few have died...

2nd hand wont be easy.

R31House want a small gold mine for thier replica's unfortunately.

Thanks for the feedback on this guys, no doubt I'll be able to source out a manifold from all your replies.

I've only ever seen the GTSR exhaust manifold once in my life at a car show in Melbourne and I had my eyes glued to it for about 30 minutes checking it out. Real nice.

Still, I'm looking for the the one that follows the exhaust port angle with no bends for at least 2" out of the head.

I'll gather up some pics of the setup once I get one bought or made up.

Talk later guys

holy crap, no way that would fit in a lhd s chassis!

looks like its a pretty advanced manifold especialy for the time.....

wonder what a new technology turbo would do on a rb20 equiped with that manifold.

Yeh it would fit just fine. Remember our car has no inner gaurds. I could afford to have the header pipes longer than that still.

Could well have been my one?

Or the one from Rons old car which went to SYD :D

    • Ha ha, yeah, I've had one following me around in my parts boxes since about 2007 I believe. Just a little iddy bit hole drilled in the one I have to let it vent out once pressure was removed from the engine side. Still no idea what I'd put it on, ha ha.
    • Just read this... Just a little bit of a wild one! Do you think the driver was testing out a new feature/device for how to lose the cops in a high speed chase?   I also suspect, if the box has a road sweeper that does magnetic metal pick up, he does a LOT of work in the machining industry. Which is what most of that looked like, machining chips from a mill or lathe. And I bet they're RAZOR sharp! And from an environmental perspective they really do need to actually collect all of those little pieces too. I wonder how many people still cop flat tires over the coming months on that road?   As for insurance company, yeah, it'd be interesting to hear what they say to the owner. But realistically, he's right, that "It's his fault". In the way that, it was his truck that spilled it, so they need to clean it up. However, neither he, nor his insurance company may bear the end cost if they do an investigation and find out it was caused by someone elses negligence (And they know who)...
    • Yeah, no matter what bad things people can say about Julian from Autospeed, he at least was capable of thinking and his inclusion of a check/relief valve in the plumbing for the Audi boost controller, that I made a copy of and used for years**, completely eradicated that problem. **It's still lying on my workbench where I put it about, um, 18 years ago and have never found a home for it!
    • I didn't actually know this! I've seen photos of the H1, mainly outside shots, and they just look "different". I guess there'd be a few little changes like nicer rims, and probably the fact they have nicer looking paint with some depth and shine, which will make any vehicles body look different to the very flat colours of the defence force.   I've watched the guys on GHPC convert their Humvee to LS1, and they've done some really nice front shock upgrade. I'm waiting for the next video on it with the rear end done. I can't remember if they've already done it, or I dreamed it, but I believe they're also supercharging theres. They will be in the future doing proper long travel suspension too.   If you ditch out your big V8, as rubbish as it must be, send it to my place. I'll let the unreliable V8 motor and box be here. I just like V8s... So I'll find something to do with it... Even if that something is just taking up valuable space in the yard. I might have something Skyline I can send back in payment... Or even Ford Barra motors  (From memory you're in Canada yeah?) So you can then play with the legendary Aussie 4L version of an RB...  Except they don't have that distinctive random miss at idle like the RB25 does.
    • Or you mean the age old problem of early 2000's manual boost tees, where they never let the pressure out of the line between the boost tee, and the waste gate, so after your first trip on boost, the damn wastegate liked to stay open and be laggy on gear change?
