Hi Guys,

We were doing some maintenance on our truck fleet today at work and came across a truck that has two broken exhaust manifold studs.

There is no part of either stud protuding from head, if anything they are 3-4mm deep which means its an easy out job.

Nobody wants to put there hand up to have a go so we need someone else to do it for us.

Can anyone give me the name/number of a person who does this type of thing and goes onsite?

Tried yellow pages online and got nothing.

Thanks in advance

Jayson................

p.s - Truck is parked in Western suburbs.

Just for infos sake, the thread doctor came out to us from Narre warren and we are pleased with the work.

One stud he easy outed and said was not to difficult but the second one was a lot harder and he couldnt easy out it so from what I was told he used some type of spring/coil or something that got it out? Not sure but think its called a helicoil? No idea how they work or what they are though.

Total cost was $110 including and he left with happy customers. Will definately recommend him to anyone.

Just thought i would bump this to let people know he is still around.

I rang him yesterday arvo, he came out this morning and in the time it took me to get some money out and go to ford to order a gt35 and T3 gasket (which i found out ford dont run a gasket between the manifold and the turbo :blink: ) he had 5 broken studs out and then put the new ones in for me since he had the right tool and it only took a few minutes, which would have been closer to an hour for me using 2 nuts.

Very happy with his work.

wow. Old thread but yeah he heli-coiled my beetle spark plug thread bout a month ago.

Good bloke. Lots of experience.

Thats one of the reasons why i bumped it, 4 years old now a lot of people may think the threads old so he probably closed down by, just letting people know he is still going and still doing great work.

yeah he removed some broken studs for me..bout 4 of them..took him about 15minutes and made an easy $90 or so. did a good job thou cant complain.

He charged me $140 but if i had done it my self i would have to go buy specific tools, and prbably spend half the day or more feeling my way through what i was doing and if i screw up then i will probably have to call him out to fix my f**k up which would probably cost even more again, or i pay $140 there out in 30mins and he puts the new ones in, no damage no headache job done, some things are worth paying some one to do.

Yer fken oath. By the time you buy the parts, use em once - you'd hurt big time.

You'd have to do 5 SAU members cars probably to make it a viable purchase given you don't shit manifold studs that often :D

You guys realise you're replying to a 3yo thread yeh? lol...

Regardless, thread doctor = great work.

Correction, its actually 7 years old, i dug it up when it was 5 years old as i had trouble finding someone, now others are digging it again and reminding of the nightmare my 33 ended up being lol

He does great work tho.

    • So you can then buy a more expensive, less reliable, more boring and slower replacement that's harder to work on and you have no knowledge of?
    • Will take much better photos when the time comes, I still want to do a sub 1m50s on street tyres at SMSP (just because). Then will slap on proper tyres and see if the car can get down to 1m40~45s range. If it goes sun 1m40s without aero, then wow.. but I don't expect the shit box to go that fast.
    • I have the OS Giken R3C with the GM 26 spline input shaft in my 32(Rb32 with only around 750hp atw) and its a pig to drive. Its actually very forgiving when its cold when when its warmed up, it chirps the tires even when trying to take off slowly. Mind you though, part of this has to do with my clutch master(Non-OEM) so the travel on the rod is shorter. How did you get 1130hp at 85% @e50?! Are you running a stroker? If so, I would recommend the R3C purely because it handles the abuse.
    • First time trying out a regularity format at the Peter Hall Memorial 6hr. It was an interesting experience with everyone on our team being brand new to the format. Safe to say reading and understanding the rules and scoring system would have really helped our team. We finished firmly last thanks to the majority of all laps across the team being penalties. In the words of my teammate Matt “Turns out we are both too quick and illiterate.” Another car had entered before us and already secured number 12 so i needed to clearly cross them out to avoid confusion for any other blue calsonic livery'd r32s at the event. The team consisted of an R32, an AE86, a supercharged V35, and a Kia CEED GT bought at salvage. I ensured we all had matching "Peer Pressure Racing" banners and overalls. This is the longest session of back to back hot laps the car has ever done (20mins no cool downs on a hot day).  It was a true test of the cooling /oil control mods and they certainly made big difference! Enjoy watching me lose 14 concurrent points for the team:  Unfortunately I only managed 45mins of track time over 3 sessions (20min, 20min, 5min) out of my allotted 90mins before my gearbox let go. Something related to shifter fork resulting in 3rd being neutral quickly followed by all gears neutral, then it being lock in two gears at once and unable to move. Optimistically there were no bad noises. But I am yet to pull box out and diagnose. Fortunately i was also to snag a tow home while I slapped a permit on the Kiaa which came on a trailer
    • Haha thanks for reply man Trying luck and Hoping to find one from all the sources, it's hard to find one as Nissan stopped production on sunroof glass panels
