ok so ive purchased myself a twinscroll dual wastegate highmount 6boost mani for my r34

I seem to have come to a slight impass whilst test fitting before taking to the ceramic coaters.

my problem is that it hits on one of the hard lines going to my ac compressor. just want to know if anyone can recommend a shop in Sydney that could make up a custom line for me if its possible

or if someone else has had this issue and found another solution, its the one on the top at the back of it that goes up through the firewall.

ive already disconnected it and it clears everything else, just going to get some heat sleeving and shielding for surrounding cables and lines.

note that I did use the search function but could not find anything of help

thanks

i had the same issue with mine, kyle(6boost) offered to fix it for free, but i ended up just getting an a/c line modded,

just go to your local a/c or radiator place. thats where i got mine done

or send it back to be fixed

I got it off one of his suppliers who told me to just bend it out of the way. I've already dropped it off to be ceramic coated so definitely not sending it back. Might try bend it n if it snaps or kinks I'll just go check out an ac place.

owenliberts what did they do to mod it and how much was it roughly?

This also happened to some one who uses the same mechanic as me, think his name is Jamie and he is a member on here. R34 GTR "HALUCN8" apparently no one has given Kyle at 6boost about it. Jamie apparently spoke to Kyle about it at Jamboree

I told kyle, but was told, ghats the right manifold.

as I said, knock it out of the way, works ok so far.

also have ceramic coating.

and some heat wrap.

Luke GTR what did u use to give it some persuasion, a small pipe bender would be good, don't wanna buy one just for this though

lump of wood and a hammer helped.

also, a pry bar.

look on ebay for heat proof tape/pipe coverings.

can take some punishment.

should help prolong the life of the ac.

ok cool thanks guys. going to give the old hammer and timber trick a go when I get the mani back tomorrow hopefully, failing that a visit to an ac shop.

and yeah ive ordered some of that flame proof shielding stuff to wrap my pipes and cables

    • Oh yeah forgot to also mention need to also unplug the IACV as well. Thanks for the reminder @MBS206 Unplugging the TPS takes it out of closed loop so you're able to screw down the IACV without the ECU trying to add/subtract timing to maintain the idle (not sure PowerFC can even do this, but Nistune and the OEM definitely does)
    • For sale is my 1999 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T, tuned to 234 kW / 313 hp. I've had the car for a few years as my daily driver. The car is original (as far as Skylines go), with only a few minor upgrades to enhance performance and driving experience, as typical for such a car of its age. Overall, it is in great condition with no body rust, thanks to its earlier import date. It features a top-notch security system (not literally, but it's great!) with remote start and still functional 4-wheel steering via HICAS. It comes with several performance and handling upgrades, including:     Hypergear 450HP Turbocharger running 17 PSI boost, installed mid-2021 by Jaustech     550cc injectors     Nistune ECU     Front-Mount Return-Flow Intercooler     X-Force Stainless Steel Exhaust     Upgraded engine mounts     Bottom end bearings replaced     BC Coilovers     Lenso DR1 rims     Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003 TL 245/40R18 97W tires, fitted early 2023 The interior is mostly stock, with a few additions:     Viper Satellite Tracking System with remote start     Bluetooth Double-Din Touchscreen Head Unit     Steering wheel cover Cons:     A few paint imperfections here and there     Driver’s seat shows more wear than the others. It's not torn at all, but I've added a seat cover to protect its condition. I also have a CarVX Vehicle History report available for serious buyers, so you don’t need to purchase it yourself. Price: $26,000 ONO.
    • I've had two suzukis in the past have an extremely hard time turning over and not starting after sitting for a few weeks. Ended up the alternator would seize up causing the starter to force. Same issue both times.  Maybe they're sourcing their alternators from the same place...
    • Ah right. Maybe my rb just loves chewing through batteries lol.
    • On the R34 can't you just unplug the IACV? This is the way I've always done it on the R33. Disconnect IACV, get it idling around 650rpm, and then do a power reset on the ECU to get it to relearn idle (factory ECU).   The big reason no one has touched on as to why you'd want to get the base idle right, is that it means the computer needs to make smaller adjustments to get a good idle at 700-750rpm.   Also, cleaning the IACV won't normally make the car suddenly idle lower or higher. The main issue with the IACV gumming up is that the valve sticks. This means the inputs the ECU gives, aren't translating to changes in air flow. This can cause idle choppy ness as the ECU is now needing to give a lot of input to get movement, but then it moves too far, and then has to do the same in reverse, and it can mean the ECU can't catch stalls quickly either.
