Because manifolds are cheap?

lol no because it's like the strongest part of the whole damn setup provided it's not some cheap chinese p.o.s knockoff with poor welds / no braces :/

Nitrous backfires have been known to explode the composite LS inlets....

Mmm think they only really beefed them up a bit in the 94's yeh? But then and again it's probably not even that bad....I reckon it's the same load of crap as all that ceramic turbo paranoia and myth spreading. I bet that slightly thinner pump drive on the older 32 only failed on a handful of occasions just like the ceramic turbos under extreme conditions way outside of design envelope.

But in saying that I'd only ever want a late model one too...mainly because it's younger ;)

What's happening on Sunday? Was that the bbq/drinks?

Cruise and lunch this time. When the weather is warmer will do bbq and drinks

2nd month 93 I think is when they changed the oil pump setup

Nice, yeh I should be free for this

Chris is spot on. As well as getting the brakes the v spec also got the r33 crank. I have a 33 crank too. On the topic of exploding manifolds, anyone remember when Rhys McGreggor did it on the heat treatments GTR at jambo? Put a huge reverse don't in the bonnet.

I saw a photo of that, white 32?

That's the one!

Also can't beleive you guys use heiffer creek road as a play ground. Last time I was there it was scary as f**k. It was a goat track with semis on the wrong side of the road every second corner. Must have fixed it up a bit since then.

    • Thanks for your insight, it being basically useless will impact my decision for sure. I thought it may help the engine breath better I guess. But then again, I have also been told that tuning an RB20DE is also not worth it. Exactly, we follow EU Regulations. There is a bit more leeway on older vehicles. My Porsche 924 came without a cat from factory and managed to pass, they still mentioned that I have quite high emissions on it though.
    • My apologies, I stand corrected. Thanks for registering to mention this! And thank you for actually reaching out to the council to clarify. This is the sensible thing to do and the opposite of what I was alluding you were doing. I may have seen too much outrage and hate being fueled on the internet and it has made me a somewhat cynical old man. Sometimes it is easy to forget that there are real people behind websites and accounts. In my defence, CarExpert and CarExplore do read quite similarly at a glance. I shall try and do better in the future. (Please stick around to get the latest scoops on dealing with old Nissan shitboxes )
    • Don't bother. The poor little RB20 doesn't make enough gas flow to challenge the flow capabilities of even the littlest cat, and you won't make any extra power, and all you'll do it soot up your rear bumper. Plus....is Malta not runing under Euro regs?
    • Hey Daniel, sorry to hear that and thanks for posting up for us at a really hard time I only knew SmoothLine through the forums, we never met as we are based in different states, but when he was most active on here he was quite a while back so not many of the current crowd might remember him. I am pretty sure he was active in the Queensland SQU club but that is defunct now too (times are changing and we are all getting older). Farewell SmoothLine!    
    • Turns out depending on whether the car was equipped with TCS or not there are different signals coming to the dash, meaning there are different speedo clusters.  Wired in a speedo calibrator box from aliexpress and now works fine.
