Yep Hypergear seems to have been doing well with the Brae manifolds. I'd be happy to use one too.

Yep i had a good look at the one on the ETS ute and the quality looks pretty damn good! I would use one too!

Do you have any pictures of this Rex kelways work johnnilicte?

Actually have a look at his thread, it's amazing:

back onto the manifolds sold here im still porting mine as the amount of weld in the ports etc was a little bit of a joke....can get some pictures if you guys like??

Its definitely what lets them down.. The welds aren't right.

They will need to attend to this to salvage their rep.

To be honest I think it's pointless if a smaller company/ individual (eg rex, or brae or sinco or whatever) make manifolds around the 6boost price range ($1000 + )

Having said that I have no idea how much any one of those manifolds will cost me..

Does anyone know how much a brae manifold will cost / where to buy them?

A little late in the thread but as customer service from 6Boost was raised I thought it only fair that I shared my experience for anyone else viewing this thread with an eye to purchase a manifold. I found Kyle to be easy to deal with over the phone and via email and to expand on that, once he saw the delivery destination was to a flood affected area (Bundaberg) he offered to cover the shipping costs off his own bat. Pretty happy with that. Certainly not a shot at you Scotty (especially as you are still working on my injectors!!!) it was only an 'of the shelf' twin scroll highmount and I'm certainly not saying that it is how everyone is treated but though I'd add my experience.

Whilst I haven't used it yet, I can vouch for Rex Kelway.

I'm in Sydney but had no issues at all on dealing with Rex - service was exceptional. He was flexible and very helpful when I wasn't sure on what I wanted. I sent him my twin gates and he fabricated the manifold to suit. On top of all that the price was great.

I'll post pics later of the manifold he made me SR20 T4 twin scroll, twin 38mm gates. Can definitely recommend him.

That twin gate setup looks awesome. Much space between gate and strut tower?

Should be heaps.

I have a SR 6Boost that has a tial 44 straight out the side, much like the position of the above. There is heaps of room.

    • As an ex-skyline owner Going off how these things are now "modern classics", I would keep the twins and just "refresh" bits that are required for reliable power and have a car you can take out for a cruise whenever you get the itch As a idiot who cannot leave things alone Going deep into the "rabbit hole" is a easy thing to do, as previously mentioned, once you start it becomes a slippery slope, wirh lots of supporting mods, and possibly rebuilds, and unless you have a bottomless pit of funds, the car can spend most of its life sitting in the garage,  broken, waiting for parts, or building more funds For a classic like a R32 GTR Basically, a reliable OEM+ refresh, that isn't a broken garage queen, is alot better than a car that you build, then break, then fix, then break again And it isn't just the engine you need to worry about, these beasties are getting on in age, and all parts are getting, and have got, expensive, the days of picking up cheap replacement engines and other driveline parts are well and truly over The funds not spent on going a single with quality parts, and with all the other other bits required to make it happen, could be spent on refreshing alot of other parts A wise man once said "If you cannot afford 2 GTR's, you cannot afford 1", I also believe he said this about 20 years ago when you could pick up a clean R32 GTR up for around $20k My advice for a R32 GTR (the one and only true Godzilla in my mind) is to think holistically about the whole car, the body, the power train, the suspension, the brakes, and the driveline SAU is a wealth of knowledge with decades of Skyline experience,  from stock, to OEM+, to modified to varying degrees, to full on or weekend or dedicated racecars, as well as full on money pits that rarely leave their garage Treat the old girl nice and give her what she deserves, you are a lucky man to own such a classic car  
    • For that price you could buy the hypergear turbo (big fan as I run one) and the Haltech ECU..
    • +1 for the Elite 2500. Get some new knock sensors while you are at it (pretty cheap), look up the TAARKS Nissan knock sensor kit. You may also want to get new coils (R35gtr) while your at it (assuming your on stock ones), as they are a liability. Mine started right up and idled fine on the base map. Also go MAP over MAF, as said above, Haltech make this super simple right out the box. Another fanboy of DBW here, Outsider Garage from your neck of the woods make some nice conversion gear for the R33 (that’s where I got some of my gear from).
