I don't know of any results for them so sorry, can't help you directly - but the eyechrometer reports that they look to be aiming for making more power from a setup that you wouldn't be restricted by the stock manifolds anyway... and I can't see how they'd help response at all, so it'd be quite a bit of expense with the possibility of no tangible improvements.

Read the thread by Femno about tubular equal length manifolds, he built a beautiful set, barely any advantage over standard manifolds. Note they were not this, but consensus appears to be you can do it cheaper with stockies

I was looking at getting some t517z, but ended up getting some second hand apexis, the previous owner was making 470kw on stock manifolds, so I don't think you need these at all for your goal

Given the price you can get a pair of Stock Manifolds for ($50 +/-) you could better spend the money or bank the savings. These were designed as an option for people casing some large power figures on the twins location. 

If you were keeping twins but going 2.8 or larger then looking to max out some larger turbos then these would be your go to.

Ive personally had my stock Manifolds ported by Specialized Power Porting in readiness for the next set up.

Why were u looking at t517z,  what made you get the apexi?

I'm aiming for around the 350kw mark and the t517zs looked to be a good option and there seems to be some good results from them on here and other gtr sites.  Really the only reason I got the apexi turbos was because I got a good deal on a rebuilt pair, if I found some good t517zs before the apexis showed up I would have gone with them, they both seem like good options.

I haven't seen many results since e85 has become so available. What size are your apexis in comparison?

Sorry only just saw this now, from what I found they are very similar, but it looks like people can squeeze a bit more out of the apexis

    • Certainly. It is probably broken under the wire style clamp. At least that one is easier to get at than the front one.   Sounds like it isn't a major leak, I'd start with backing off the the water feed and return banjos into the turbos half a turn then tightening properly. Hardlines can still crack over time, either in the tube (particularly when turbos are changed if the banjo is siezed in the the tube) or at the brazed joins between the lines and the banjo fittings. A coolant system pressure test will reveal all. BTW you'd be able to get a sump without exchange, it will just cost more as they will have to source another stock one for the next customer. If you want to address the sump a much better option is something like this https://www.hioctanedirect.com/hi-octane-racing-sump-extension-nissan-rb26 that you weld in locally (and add the oil return fittings at the same time)
    • Pretty sure you are thinking of the throwout bearing there (which you should change when you change your clutch), when they are worn they will get quieter if you put your foot on the clutch. An input shaft bearing is turning/noisy at all times.
    • I’ll have more of a look into Recaros over the weekend. It’s taken me 2 days to figure out which Bride seats suit my application haha.
    • I am aware of their presence, but the product page looked like that conversion will eliminate the AWD capability. Fact remains it's kind of a hassle to send my oil sump halfway around the world and buying an extra one is expensive and unnecessary. Before I go hat route I'd explore more local options.    Would you recommend I just pull the engine and renew as many things as possible since I'm already having problems with some leaks? Would have to get an engine crane first though.
    • Are there any indicators that the vehicle is in limp mode?  Any dash light, or something.  Or is it just lack of acceleration?
