Since your in Canada, try these guys

http://www.nizztex.com

They are actually a shop in Toronto that specializes in 300ZX and J30's (both vehicles have the same engine). Maybe they would know a good place where you can get a used mainfold. Give them a call!

The other place I would try (you can find them in any phone book) is Discount Used Japanese Parts. They are located in Scarborough, Ontario. They are a clearing house for used japanese parts, they often have prices well below what other auto recyclers cost.

As for a source on the internet, other than Ebay (which is hit and miss) try on of the sponsors for this board.

Huh ? Sounds like you have a bad fuel injector (s) or a dead ignition coil(s) causing unburnt fuel to dump into the catylytic converter, thus destroying them..

How is your mechanic diagnosing this ? Sounds a tad bit iffy to me..

Maybe you should get a consult with the local Infiniti or Nissan dealership, before you replace the manifold. Like metaverse3 suggested it might me something else. I have never heard a J30/300zx owner ever replace a manifold on their ride.
