SkylineStu · 13th March 2006, 11:41 PM

Right here we go again, car just bk from getting new clutch fitted and now has developed an exhaust blow from the engine bay area, question is , is the front pipe disconected to remove the gear box also what would be more common, the turbo to downpipe gasket or the manifold gasket and how easy are they to get at ? a lot of questions i know but car is so noisy at mo it needs doing, the car is a 94 R33 GTS-T, thanks

Yes the frontpipe is removed from the turbo to get the gearbox down mate so take it back to the garage that did it & get them to sort it out properly & fit a new gasket.

When you strat the car up from cold get your hand around the elbow/downpipe and manifold, you should be able to locate the blow, It will be one of the following 3 probably

Manifold studs sheared
Turbo/elbow nuts worked loose
turbo elbow to downpipe flange
