hybrid performance manifold, using one with gt3582r and another with precision 6266... cannot beat the price and value.. you would be stupid 2 purchase anything else around that price range. specially

We will have some low mount ones that we are working on, which will be available in a couple weeks , The ones we will be doing will be good to run with a 38mm wastegate , if you are wanting to run big

I don't think anyone credible has ever said it CANNOT hold over 300.

I do believe that it has been said it can be used for up to 300kw applications. I think thats a reasonable comment.

Reasons:

Above 300kw there would definitely be markable gains from a quality manifold.

E85 is a game changer because it makes for a cooler burn (alcohol) and therefore counteracts the restriction of the stock manifold to a certain degree.

So I guess the BS is that the stock mani cannot hold much more than 300rwkw.. :whistling:

now, now..hold your horses...i first thought this aswell, and yes one of my mates has made 350rwkw on a 3076 56T .63 at 17psi on e85 atm, still has some left in it

stock mani with gate of exhaust housing

I first thought it was a octane issue on 98 that capped things at 300 with that frame of turbo..stao said no its the manifold..well

we are both right..it is octane limited to around that mark on 98 with a a stocky, but change to aftermarket and you can add some timing due to no restriction and pick up a very good handful of kilowatts

E85 is a game changer..it has so much octane that you reach mbt with the timing curve with those turbos whether you use use

a restrictive manifold or not and still have plenty in reserve..it woudn't suprise me if there wasn't much difference is peak power between

a aftermarket or stock in that scenario..i think my mate will try a nz hybrid mani soon so will be interesting to see the difference or how

the curve is changed

cheers

Heads up, for people thinking about buying the new Hybrid low mount manifold (no wg).

This is a good quality manifold for the price but it won't fit your rb25 motor without modification - studs, washers, nuts and bov/intake piping.

I bought it because it's based on the HPI design which is bolt on, but that's not the case.

I've contacted Kam a few times now to address issues, but unfortunately there's reluctance to change the design, so I may be out of pocket.

For now I'm back to stock manifold.

Cheers.

I am not sure if you know how hard it is to make a manifold out of mild steel, it is not as easy as making it out of Stainless steel where you can bend easily,

There are so many tight bends to look at and getting everything to line up with the std position of the turbo,

Having to trim a couple of studs and using 2 washers slightly smaller in diameter is not a mission, this is a custom made manifold it took me 2 weeks to do it for you and to make it look and perform well, having to modify the couple of things which is only trimming the 2 studs and modifying the bov return line is nothing major, as any one would know when dealing with any after market product you will have to make some changes and these are minor,

I have emailed you back every time you sent me an email and even offered to sort something out, if i don't reply in 5 minutes i am not ignoring you i do have things to do as well,

kind of frustrating having to deal with this kind of stuff specially when trying to do something good for some one you still end up getting biten and loose your time making something.

Yes it's frustrating but not many people will want to change so many things to get it to work.

I'm not biting you, what you thinks needs to be done, workshops will charge a $%^load to fix, studs and piping.

If it takes more time to get manifold to bolt on and you feel confident this is worthwhile, as I've said privately I'd be happy to purchase another manifold.

I'll be taking up your offer for the refund, minus postage.

Cheers.

Hi Just thought i'd give these guys at Hybrid performance the benefit of the doubt with regards to their manifold and guess what

its a piece of S#!t that is built poorly...i even asked if i can get a refund and KAM said no refunds look on the website lol

His stuff is cheap and the quality is crap

Save yourself the trouble and buy well known and trusted brands

Hybrid Performance is a scammer and should be banned from SAU for trying to sell its products

I actually should have spent my money on a on a stainless steel one

Hmm, my Hybrid top mount bolted up with no issues. I did modify the wastegate port slightly but that was due to me obessive complusive disorder with my car, i wanted it a few CM further away from aircon lines

      No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️

      Thanks for sharing this, and BTW if your headlights are in good condition they are worth thousands....you might want to consider replacing them with brand new LED ones like this (https://www.nengun.com/78works/full-led-headlights-r32-skyline) and making enough profit to buy a house in Sydney

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By Duncan · Posted

      I'm not sure what sort of shops are nearby, but I'd expect any reasonable exhaust shop could put a cat in it that will not restrict the power that engine makes. Otherwise, if you want to remove it, short lengths that replace the cat are readily available online, search for "de-cat pipes" or "test pipes"

      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.
