Hey Scott , im Chris i met you a couple of times, i had a 33 sedan.I think your best bet would to go a steam pipe custom manifold ( i had one on my car)The stainless ones seem to be weak, and doesnt last as long and other various reasons.And for your dump pipe same deal get who ever makes your manifold get them to make you a dump pipe depending on what turbo you are running.

Hey thanks for your reply Chris, your username is familiar but cant put a face to it. Been that long since ive driven the car (just got painted etc, been nearly year since its been out). Thanks for your input, steam pipe seems definately the way to go. What price you looking at for steam pipe? With the stainless are they all not worthy or is there some decent value for money ones?

Noticed you said had the sedan. Remember seeing it up for sale i believe, hope you got decent price!!!! Was very nice car, I am trying to sell my wifes 33 sedan but at the price they are going for, looks like its worth more to us to keep it!!

as was said before get a custom made one from steam pipe, the big issues with stainless is that all of the cheaper ones are made from thin steel which cracks, also the way a turbo works in regards to spool up is that it requires air flow and heat to make the turbo spin up, so you may find that with a stainless manifold you will loose soem response from the turbo as stainless is no good at retaining heat

yes it does happen.. my 180 has a SS bunch of bananas no cracking. it depends on what reinforcment has been welded onto the manifold. bracing is essential. also due to the thinner walls on SS it loses heat quicker than a cast or steam pipe. still good.. steam pipe is a good option mate.. but exy

My stock manifold is working well with my 3076R turbo

Bragging are we andy..??? lol

also in regards to dump pipes.. i like to use SS split dumps that preferable merge below at the elbow.. R334door im pretty sure u have one like that cause i was looking under ur car when doin ur FMIC and thought thats a neat bit of kit.

Yeah I love bragging its my style

Just saying that the stock manifold isnt as crap as every one thinks it is, I wouldnt bother changing it unless the turbo didnt physically fit anymore

And as Dano said look to HKS Cast or extrude honing (pending turbo size), both flow around 20% more than stock

      A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.

      Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.

      Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?

      Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.

      Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪
