Just get one of the Stec manifolds that you have mentioned on here previously. Mine arrived yesterday and is very good quality. I purchased the sidemount one but yet to fit on. All up was $440 delivered.

Sorry for the Hijack, any result feedback on that S-tech manifold?

Price is good, quality SEEMS fine. Im curious as to flow... Would it outflow stock with that runner design or just look cool....

I know a proper one will outflow and make a mean sound.

I will post up results, before and after install dyno results and if there were any problems with install etc.

if its the old one it will not flow past 430 hp atw, im still waiting for the new one that will flow well into 500hp as he has designed it but has no made any for the public.

or i have found a hpi copy made from 321 s/s with 42.7 i.d.....thats why i want to know the i.d of the stock one be for i flow test one as i have a flow test of a stock manifold and i want to compare.

well its abit hard to mesure the oval x section of a cast manifold. what with all the bumps and turns and differant radius's

it starts off as the same exact size as the port then turns away... so by forming a round pipe to the same size as the port is easier. and it just so happens that run of the mill 1.5" stainless pipe is the same. so in mm its about 35mm. 38mm outside minus 1.6mm wall thickness.

cheers.

    • @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣  
    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
