I got one on my stagea recently (lots of other stuff at the same time). It is pretty good for the price but there are some things to watch out for like making sure the manifold surface is dead flat before you put it on. and some custom stuff needed like throttle body mounting and cable, aac mounting etc etc

pretty sure just jap sell them

I had an ebay one on for 1.5years.

Never saw a problem. Weren't any defects in the plenum. Didnt have any cyl 6 problems.

But I wouldn't recommend one for a more extensive build.

i was assuming all of the chinese copy manifold were coming from the same factory? as none of them are stamped or anthing? some just polish them up or powder coat them.. are the ebay one just the same?

Unknown quality of the metals used means porosity is a real issue to be aware of.

Mine was stripped back for some extensive finishing work, but got a heavy coat of epoxy enamel before installation.

The Chinese supplied it with a heavy coat of paint probably for the same reason.

myself and 2 others i know are using them, the chinese greddy ones, and they all had water leaks. my one leaked from the water gallery out of the manifold, the other 2 leaked into a port. both No2 runner i think. We all used some of that devcon stuff that my mate aquired from work and gave the water port between No1 and 2 a thin coating.

well, a guy who used to be mates with mafia from here had one on his rb25 and it had the same shit water jackets and leaking issues.

i have personally sold over 8 of them in the last 12 months and had no problems or comebacks. only issue i had was that they dont come with new rubbers for the injectors, but that was a quick trip down to the local nissan dealership.

honestly, they come up really good, and come polished on most surfaces.

only thing that is worth doing is maybe port matching and cleaning up some of the cast markings, as it is only a china one...

www.autotecnica.com have a geezer anyway.

i'm not going to plug the store i work for, as they dont pay advertising, but its pretty easy to work out who sells autotecnica anyway.

      Best Skyline ever

      You see R34 GTRs listed for 200-300k are they really selling for these prices? Kinda seems like the same ones listed all the time. Even with R33 GTSTs looking at gumtree. You have an auto with a bitsa interior for 35k. Another one needs an engine rebuild and asking 24k. And then you have a stock in better than average condition for 45k. Nobody is ever going to pay these prices.

      Has anyone put in brand new full carpet? (not floor mats)

      By Yeetus · Posted

      Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆

      Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
