Hey guys,

Did you use the fat washers when installing your 6 boost mani? I cant see any possible way I can get the fat washer, the thin washer and then the nut on any of the bottom studs as the runner gets in the way. I can get just the thin washer in there so will this be ok?

Quick replies would be loved as im doing this right now

Thx

Ryan

pressumably so long as the nut tightens down and there is no play between maifold and block, should be no issue. use a feeler gauge to check this adequatly, but yeh 2 washers seems a bit of over kill

how the hell do you ceramic coat the manifold?? is it same sort of theory as sand blasting? but with sticky ceramic?

*hopes this isnt a n00b question*

ceramic is a liquid coating that is applied to the manifold after either acid or blast etching - its then cured in a oven at very high temeratures. Often refered to as HPC coating as that was the main providers of the process.

as for the original question, i think you'll find the stud holes in the manifold are round on the 6 boost manifold - have a look at the std one and you'll see they are elongated which is the reson for the large washers. the material thickness of the 6 boost's steam pipe will not allow the room required for the large washers.

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????

      Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
