Thanks Bladebloke for confirming that it is possible to remove them with a stud extractor. The local car shop are getting me one in for tomorrow morning. I will heat them up with a torch and have a go and undoing them. If that doesnt work will try welding a nut on and undoing them. If not the manifold is coming off and the car wont be on the road again this week! Will post the results up after thowing some more spanners at the shed in anger!

Sorry for asking a silly question but what car is it?!

i would go for pipex or maybe bulldog mate

the uptime of the adsl has been pretty good but the customer services suck about as much as the others

Sorry i missed it! Zed off the road and hung over from a wedding yesterday will be at the next one!

yeah the ones in the thermostate housing are like that hoping the ones in the exhaust are the same

There is enough room to get an extractor / torch / drill in there but the cars not going very far with one exhaust! Can the studs be removed then? Managed to remove a stud from the thermostate housing by welding a nut on and then undoing it (thanks to Pete and his steady hand). Not sure if these will unscrew tho, anyone done it before on the three manifold studs?

Dont think i will be making it tomorrow mate, no car and its mothers day etc. thanks for the offer tho, i might need the bits

Yeah its the passenger / battery side that is broke, 2 of the 3 studs snapped on the last manifold before the down pipe. can they be pulled out with a stud extractor?

they need changing as the thread on one of the others is about dead as well They are held onto the turbo with 4 bolts right?

Putting my exhausts back on after getting the prop straightened and sheared one of the three studs on the turbo downpipe! Not bloody happy, when does it ever end! :( I know this is common so how do I change it? I really hope the turbo doesnt have to come out etc or I am going to miss another summer with a broken z. :(

Just bypass it, you dont need the heater for the next 6 months!

They did all that then left the rear wiper on lol also i notice the space in the rear bumper for the number plate looks uk size, not us or jap has to be the worst body kit ever on a z

I may have to drop that plumb bob back into you on sunday then :)

I watched 5 to 9 last night, put e16 on the download this morning before i went to work :)

Try opening the image with something else, internet explorer or photoshop perhaps

the thumbnails will show even if the picture is totally corrupt and not readable as the thumbnail image comes from a hidden system file that was created before to image file got damaged.

I hate it too, its 109000km which i know is only about 70k miles but i hate that it says 109000 down there!

same here, darn proxy servers

sandpaper? :)

i love having the 300, went to the local tyre garage for a new exhaust rubber and valve in one tyre. i asked how much, they said "for you its free" lol

yep its a 2.9 v8 anyone know how much boost they run as stock and what turbos they use?

did you know they have smaller engines than the z!

what the hell is that? like a twin supercharger or something?

lol ok mate
