I have a R32 GT-R and ive been trying to read about the top mount XS power and OBX manifolds both on gtr.co.uk and Supraforums. Seems like people who have braced them dont have much problems with them, some have cracked and needed to be rewelded and some needed to have the bolt holes opened up with a drill to allow fitment.

But for the price i dont mind if i have to improve them a bit.

Anybody here that can comment on how they worked for them, here is the XS power Version 2 / $258.00 US Dollars

XS power vers 2 manifold

link to the OBX one / $315.00 US Dollars

OBX Manifold

mainly need to know if a T4 Precision Billet 6765 with a 1.15 a/r will fit it or maybe a GT4202 with a 1.15 a/r, so hopefully someone with a similar sized turbo can chime in

good or bad results, just want to get some info. And maybe state if you braced the manifold, what size turbo and if something went wrong what was the problem exactly :bunny:

btw i posted on gtr.co.uk also

if you are going for that big of a turbo why not just buy a good quality manifold to start with? ETM, 6BOOST, fullrace

well i live in Iceland and im trying to keep some costs down if possible. Its costs very much to import car parts here and the damn depression didnt help. Our currency went to shit in 1 year. So everything now costs twice as much as it did 2 years ago and it wasnt even that good back then lol.

one guy on gtr.co.uk replied , he has the xs power manifold

Ive got the XS POwer manidfold on my car.

2 things i had to do, skim the surface on the flange that goes on the head, and rebuild the pipes for the wastegate. They were to small.

Im on the 4th year now, and no cracks at all. Taken it off / on the engine a few times, no problem with warping.

No braces.

Been on the dyno 4-5 times, 3,5 years of trackdays, dragracing and streetdriving. Totally now almost 25.000km.

Im currently running 590hp / 680nm at all 4 wheels, 1.7bar on a GT4088r.

Ive got OBX twin manifolds, tuned length, and the OBX split front pipe 2-into-1, for R32 RB26dett.

Weld quality is excellent, they give it a lifetime warranty. The header manifold pipes, whilst small to keep to stock position, look fantastic quality.

Cant fault the front pipe either.

Just need to fit, along with twin hks split dump pumps and a decat flex pipe Ive got here. Hard @ 6'8" with no physical knees tho :bunny:

nice, im not quite seeing why everybody is saying you need to buy 1500-2000 dollar mani´s when it looks like the xs power one works. I know the other ones are much better quality etc. But you can almost do a whole fuel system for what you save by getting the XS power one.

what about the OBX manifold ? anyone ?

here are pics of the xs power mani

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.

      When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
