hope to be certed by xmas then add exo and paint so bout end of jan
went for a quick strop round the block friday seemed wee bit more than standard as she hit 2000rpm in 2nd the fun started was still pulling at 3000 missed the turn off so round the next block very pleased considering its sucking warm air with the pod filter will go better when snorkel fitted

Didja increase the diesel flow to make use of the increased air, or are you just using the "normal" over-fuelling of a Nissan???

on another note due to my issues with the fitting i complained to who i bought the manifold from who is offroader off tardme but is also Scarles Performance in auckland....... i at least expected an apology email ph call anything from them i also informed them that my input would be posted on the largest best 4x4 forum in nz (yes i admit i was hoping for freebees to shut me up :lol: ) ..... so 3 manifolds sent before one would line up with all the head bolts, then cutting 10/15mm off the bottom front corner to sit flat, small head bolts are needed to make a spanner fit, plus cut away the panel around the shock tower so the waste gate tube doesn't break off from movement of engine, the t3 threaded bolt holes don't align with the turbo these must be drilled out and nut and bolts used and lastly if you have a pto shaft its gonna be tight getting an exhaust to fit
even talking to them they tell me many of these have been sold im wondering how many other people having issues are these cheaper manifolds worth the hassle compared to the dsr ones my opinion 2c worth/bitch/complaint done

Won't be buying one of those manifolds. Even though they are cheap, it certainly isn't worth the hassle. DSR don't sell the manifolds anymore, saying that the Chinese aren't trustworthy, and stole their design :?
Will get mine from Ebay (same as DSR) when I decide to go ahead with it.

I got the offroader manifold turbo kit with external waste gate and plastic snorkel and found Brett there pretty good to deal with, they didn't have the snorkel or rear turbo exhaust flange at the time I bought it, but did courier both to me later and rang me to say the flange was going to be longer than indicated.
The manifold definately needed machining on the faces and the corner cut off but the bolts lined up, just.
Another guy in town had a dsr manifold but had to take it off and machined flat after a bit of use as it warped.
Think it's all a bit of luck with anything made in china.

On behalf of Offroader and Scarles LTD we have spoken to Taz on the phone and the issue regarding manifold problems and other issues has been resolved and we are happily dealing with Taz with our product.

We are in huge development of a actual bolt on Safari Turbo kit, which we will be doing at a special price to offroader express members. Watch this space!

In the meantime feel free to visit www.trademe.co.nz/offroader.

Thanks,

-Andrew (Director)

thanks for the leads on the vents guys. We now have a spunky new FCO store in the 'tron and have sorted some from there. The only other ones I could find were at Bunnings and Mitre 10 and didnt really tickle me.

Be interested to see what you think of these, thought the rubber bushings would help reduce shock, but keen to hear feedback

The tractor link wont last. :( I used one (or one end at least) in the A arm on my rear diff in my off road only W/C truck. 3 years and maybe 200km later it is sloppy as and the whole back end clunks side to side. They are just not made of strong enoug steel to resist the wear. I though this was going to be road legal too? cant see a certifier liking it either

Have read alot about the use of tractor top links, and it was mostly negative? with the price to have done with 3/4" heavy rod ends and 32mm or larger tube by Andrew Murphy http://www.trademe.co.nz/Members/Listings.aspx?member=18962 or similar, I personally didnt see the point in having to replace a damaged part due to wear caused during normal operation.
My 2c anyway.
Dont follow me. i'll get stuck and need a tow..
