Who Can Replace Ex Manifold Studs In Syd?

[ross80]

well thats a different story. Should be far cheaper. $160 sounds a bit rough in that case.

Very prone to this sort of failure as apparently the studs are aluminium and prone to streching and snapping.

I had my car back from a engine replacement and it sounded like a tractor off a farm. lol

Is yours similar? and does not boost up properley?

im just replacing the manifold..

so best to do the studs also at the same time

They are mild steel, on r34 gtr's i believe they are stainless steel. the price that was quoted would probably include helicoiling a few holes from broken studs, not just pulling them out and screwing new ones in

there are always annoying broken ones, i had 4!!!

oh ok,

I had thats two mechanics on the Gold Coast who told me they were aluminium. Liars!

None of mine were broken luckily. They were threaded but not broken

Imagine how weak they would be if they were aluminium. It's the constant heating and cooling that weakens them, age is the killer. Our R31 has about 4 or 5 missing but doesn't leak at all so I'll leave it as is.

Is your r31 a racecar.

Not even close although my gf has been known to make sacrifical offerings to the tyre gods on some occasions.
