High temps alone wont really crack it, Ive had mine glowing on the dyno and it never cracked.

But Shock loading it will.

Driven through any big puddles or anything Genelle?

Nope just my normal cruising on the highways,in 5th gear eboost 2says very little boost. :-)

30,000km a year, is a lot of fuel, how often is your mechanic replacing the fuel filter? I would hope at least every twelve months, but If it has been an oversight, it could potentially explain the problem. And If neglected enough it may have had a knock on effect with your injectors. It would also reduce fuel pressure/flow.

I get a full service every 10000 this includes all filters and oil.:-)

Fuel filter is replaced every 10000. :-)

30,000k per year is not excessive for country folk. We do that in the Mr's car then plus whatever I do in mine.

Also sounds like the servicing is up to the mark.

I'm wondering if you've just been unlucky, mechanic had sourced 2nd hand manifolds that may have already started to crack, they have a reputation for doing so.

I think if all suggestions are taken on board at the "next" replacement you might have a better outcome.

Check replacement for cracks, machine true to head and turbo, replace missing studs, ensure sufficient clearance around studs and thick washers, Nissan gaskets, dump supported by bracket (without inducing stress), flex joint from dump……..

If after all that it still fails, buy a Commo.

    • No......not yet Minister for War and Finances has stated that the Commodore has to go first Not that I am going to modify the NC any more than what it is already modified now.....
    • Thanks again, really helpful chap from alpha omega wanted to speak to me, little concerned if this is meant to he aero alloy/ airospace quality and car sitting on drive has caused this.  Airplane are subject to much more changing temp and conditions than road salts! My caliper, many other components much older have surface rust but never eating part of the metal   Had I not seen it , could have been a disaster! specifically on rear part of bracket coming off like biscuit will update on what they say, helpful people so far
    • January or Feb is it booked in for turbo fitment?
    • The MX5 has had some annoying rattles in both front doors over bumps So I installed fancy pants door bushings, which stopped all of the rattles with the windows up, but........with the windows down there was still rattles, so after some googling,  and a chat with MX5 Mania, I got some new door to glass weather seals, all the rattles, windows up, or down, are gone now Shout out to MX5 Mania, the weather seals were on sale, and when I head to Dural to pick the up they even fitted them for me for free I did see a "really" nice Blue NA sitting out front   and this Black NC PRHT that looked like it has sat in the sun for its whole life and never had a wash, the clear coat was non-existent, an it looked horrible, really horrible, but, it had a nice turbo kit with over 200kw, the thing went like a cut snake, bagging the rears through the gears and dosing like a champ 😍 But, as I've always stated, I am keeping my NC na, I'm happy with the current power the car makes In other news: MX5 Mania do a drive in drive out turbo kit, the only minor additional part recommended for boosting my car, as it sits now, is a oil cooler, and that bonnet vents are definitely required for track use Aftermarket version look a bit to "racecar" spec I wonder how Focus RS bonnet vents would look?????
    • Paint is only structural when applied to the outside of Chinese and Indian cars. Otherwise it should never be present between mechanical joints that were intended to be metal to metal. Pain slips, slides, cracks, compresses, and add thickness that wasn't intended to be there. It comes firmly under the category of "just no".
