as above . i have a very rare setup here from a factory R31 GTSR.....

Tuned length stainless genuine nissan manifold

no cracks, perfect condition sounds INSANE ....

factory R31 GTSR TB4301 t04 turbo, requires new thrust bearing ( 450)

otherwise in mint condition, made 260rwkw on my rb25 on 13 psi. comes with wastegate and oil feed line.

people that know about these rare items will know that they are worth my asking price,

more pics avalable upon request ,

PICK UP IS AVALABLE.......

post-60639-1258341471_thumb.jpg

is this the turbo set up on a R33 that Tuffy used to own not too long ago?

in all honesty.. good luck with the sale.

but i think u may struggle to get a sniff at 2700bucks even with the shagged ole school turbo.

but i know a friend that has a bit of money to burn and wants a GTSR manifold for he;s HR31 build. wiht a Neo6.....if he hasnt already .. ill send him the link.

i dont care if the price is big , im not selling it for a penny less.... ill keep it for 3 years if thats how long it takes ... good luck getting one any where else :D

these are very rare i believe 1 of 400 made,rare genuine and make your rb sound like a v12 seriously.

munch munch 6boost for lunch haha

800, but still rare.

Why does yours have fresh weld marks around all the runners, and the runners look perfectly new?

It is a copy?

I say this as all of the manifolds i've ever seen look nothing like that as there is substancial discolouration after years of use with the grade of stainless used for the manitolds.

Also those welds are much better than a factory one's on every manifold i've seen including the one i owned.

the actual runners on the head side are welded inside not out and ported to perfection, the manifold come from japland on a car was in magazine few yrs ago so i doubt its a copy.

Marky from E.T borrowed it for few days to try copy and says it cant be done the collector arrangement is crazy,

Maybe yours was the copy with crappy welds i couldnt see a genuine 1 of 400 being made shitty.

Edited by bbe

yea appears to be re- welded on the collector

stock welds are dodgy looking

but hey these manifold rocka nd make your car sound shit hot

cant see the welds here but they are larger

welded inside and nice and smooth

Where are you getting 1 in 400 from?

You clearly don't even know how many were made (it was over 800, probably over 1,000 give there would have been spares ordered and so on).

They were made nearly 25 years ago on top of that.

They were ALL average weld stainless. Always have been.

There are 2 GTS-R's in Vic, one in tassie (ex-vic). One in QLD, One in WA. They ALL have average welds by todays standards and they are 100% original manifolds.

They all a dark colour as seen below:

I'll also assume you do not know that R31House have been making copies for over 10 years of the GTS-R manifold.

Just because someone you know isn't good enough to copy it, does not mean someone else suffers the same inability.

So how about you do people a favour and stay out of a topic you know clearly know nothing about ok?

The OP is the one i'm asking, not you.

its not a copy buddy, it has all the orig mounts for heat shields ect ,

it sounds rediculous fatz cheers

r31 nizmoid, its not a copy its been inspected by marc marcheson Owner of Exhaust Technology here in sa, and he jizzed in his pants,

its done f**k all work and was only just recently cleaned up with a linishing machine, thats why it doesnt look thrashed, the welds are perfect everywhere... even the inside of the runners are perefect,

maybe yours with the crappy welds was the copy, i doubt they would put crappy welds on something that was suposed to be the BEST thing nissan was producing at the time .

anwyasy

price is still 2700, not negotiable, its going back on my car, when a deposit is payed it will be removed,

will post up a sound clip tomorow night :)

and who cares if its been rewelded at some point in its life? its better thanout of the box,

there is no way to copy the collectors, because its actually 2 pressed pieces welded together,

The manifold has been on this car for longer than 10 years too,

the car was imported from japan in 1998 and was bought from a jap garage,

when the car got here, it was featured in early HPI magazine, as a jap built car,

it was put back to standard for compliance then all the fruit put back on ,

witch rulesout it being a r31house copy.. as its older than 10 years old bud.

cheers

witch rulesout it being a r31house copy.. as its older than 10 years old bud.
for over 10 years

Quoted hopefully you don't miss it the 2nd time around.

Mine was original, same as the pics Pete & i have both posted now, which is what the original ones look like. You item is the only one that is different, and anyone that knows even a small amount about a GTS-R will easily spot this as i have done.

For what it's worth i never said anything about crappy welds. I just said average.

It was your rather poorly educated 'friend' bbe that was going on about crappy welds - might pay you to actually read who posts what in your replies.

Anyway - the second pic makes it look much closer to what every single other one looks like. Still not the same colour which is interesting.

FYI - i couldn't sell mine for $1400 when you have the likes of ETM/6boost etc selling their items for the same price. It ended up in a 3-way trade for a few items.

Good luck with the sale.

    • So it's a ginormous undertaking that will be a massive headache but will be sorta cool if pulled off right. And also expensive. I'm sure it'll be as expensive as buying the car itself. I don't think you could just do this build without upgrading other things to take the extra power. Probably lots of custom stuff as well. All this assuming the person has mechanical knowledge. I'm stupid enough to try it but smart enough to realize there's gonna be mistakes even with an experienced mechanic. I'm a young bloke on minimum wage that gets dopamine from air being moved around and got his knowledge from a Donut video on how engines work.]   Thanks for the response though super informative!
    • Yes, it is entirely possible to twincharge a Skyline. It is not....without problems though. There was a guy did it to an SOHC RB30 (and I think maybe it became or already was a 25/30) in a VL Commode. It was a monster. The idea is that you can run both compressors at relatively low pressure ratios, yet still end up with a quite large total pressure ratio because they multiply, not add, boost levels. So, if the blower is spun to give a 1.4:1 PR (ie, it would make ~40 kPa of boost on its own) and the turbo is set up to give a 1.4:1 PR also, then you don't get 40+40 = 80 kPa of boost, you get 1.4*1.4, which is pretty close to 100 kPa of boost. It's free real estate! This only gets better as the PRs increase. If both are set up to yield about 1.7 PR, which is only about 70 kPa or 10ish psi of boost each, you actually end up with about 1.9 bar of boost! So, inevitably it was a bit of a monster. The blower is set up as the 2nd compressor, closest to the motor, because it is a positive displacement unit, so to get the benefit of putting it in series with another compressor, it has to go second. If you put it first, it has to be bigger, because it will be breathing air at atmospheric pressure. The turbo's compressor ends up needing to be a lot larger than you'd expect, and optimised to be efficient at large mass flows and low PRs. The turbo's exhaust side needs to be quite relaxed, because it's not trying to provide the power to produce all the boost, and it has to handle ALL the exhaust flow. I think you need a much bigger wastegate than you might expect. Certainly bigger than for an engine just making the same power level turbo only. The blower effectively multiplies the base engine size. So if you put a 1.7 PR blower on a 2.5L Skyline, it's like turboing a 4.2L engine. Easy to make massive power. Plus, because the engine is blown, the blower makes boost before the turbo can even think about making boost, so it's like having that 4.2L engine all the way from idle. Fattens the torque delivery up massively. But, there are downsides. The first is trying to work out how to size the turbo according to the above. The second is that you pretty much have to give up on aircon. There's not enough space to mount everything you need. You might be able to go elec power steering pump, hidden away somewhere. but it would still be a struggle to get both the AC and the blower on the same side of the engine. Then, you have to ponder whether you want to truly intercool the thing. Ideally you would put a cooler between the turbo and the blower, so as to drop the heat out of it and gain even more benefit from the blower's positive displacement nature. But that would really need to be a water to air core, because you're never going to find enough room to run 2 sets of boost pipes out to air to air cores in the front of the car. But you still need to aftercool after the blower, because both these compressors will add a lot of heat, and you wil have the same temperature (more or less) as if you produced all that boost with a single stage, and no one in their right mind would try to run a petrol engine on high boost without a cooler (unless not using petrol, which we shall ignore for the moment). I'm of the opinnion that 2x water to air cores in the bay and 2x HXs out the front is probably the only sensible way to avoid wasting a lot of room trying to fit in long runs of boost pipe. But the struggle to locate everything in the limited space available would still be a pretty bad optimisation problem. If it was an OEM, they'd throw 20 engineers at it for a year and let them test out 30 ideas before deciding on the best layout. And they'd have the freedom to develop bespoke castings and the like, for manifolds, housings, connecting pipes to/from compressors and cores. A single person in a garage can either have one shot at it and live with the result, or spend 5 years trying to get it right.
    • Good to know, thank you!
    • It's a place for non car talk. There's whoretown which is general shit talking. But also other threads coving all sorts of stuff(a lot still semi car related)
    • Looked it up. It sounds so expensive lmao I'd rather not. Awwwww but I just love that sound
