Anyone have any experience with these ?  https://artecperformance.com.au/products/artec-nissan-skyline-rb-exhaust-manifold-v-band-reverse-rotation

 

What got my interest was the 7.1kg, my last 6boost was solid 12kg.  Not to mention it didn't fit... wait i just did :) 

I also like the off the shelf blanket option.  I've had real heat issues with my current setup. 

 

The reverse rotation is a bit tits as it means new turbo and new piping.

I've got one, just fitting up now...

I also opted for new studs and went the titanium route and access to the two lower front nuts is basically impossible with a conventional socket or ring spanner... Think I'm going to have to get creative 🙃

Haven't heard of anyone having this issue but I guess they are still relatively newish...

You can get two different sized titanium nut kits(different makers), can't tell from pics but I assume yours are the 12mm ? 

 

Please keep posting pic's keen to hear / see all the good and bad ! 

 

Seems like you have a lot of clearance to strut tower, this is in the 32R ? 

Also interested in seeing potential space for a new turbosmart straight gate 

 

Also looks like so so much room underneath compared to a 6boost, not sure what you would use it for but I am sure the AC lines would appreciate it :)

wasn't aware of the different sized stud kits 😕 These are from EFI Solutions...

Ye the clearance so far seems pretty good, tis a 32 GTR... Fabbing dump pipe etc. now...

I'm only running a conventional Turbosmart external gate...

Was hoping I'd get away with not having to move the Power Steering Reservoir but that was probably a tad naïve of me ;)

Looks tops, nice to see a picture that isn't straight form Artec. I'll be interested to hear how you go with that front stud, looks like a bastard.

Mine is en route from Brisvegas to Melbourne now, but reverse rotation G30 turbos are out of stock. FFS.

very sexy...

will never understand why guys use those mesh flexi joints, bad news...

Yeah i agree, have seen plenty leak but admittely a while ago. They've got the proper baffled one on the wastegate pipe so not sure why they wouldn't use baffled version for both...?

can only assume stock issues but if selling at a premium should only use premium parts....... just my 2c anyway

Speaking of stock issues, no reverse rotation housings available until March at the earliest for the G30's. I blame Artec, everybody got on board and now I can't get a turbo.

Talk about first world problems.

i was gobsmacked when i bought all my gear on the black Friday sales that everything was actually in stock...

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
