Its the same distance towing than driving . Im not far from you Luke and I take it to Jez. It's all personal preference. Where you feel comfortable leaving your car, go with it. If they bugger up, don't go back. If they are good, you found your shop. Talk to as many shops as you can.

Mudflaps and HR31 Front bar sold.

2 x R33 GTR's in Richmond today, one white one midnight purple. Probably been for a drive on Bells Line heading east, they were cruising with 2 Evo's, either 7, 8 or 9's.

Aaaaaaand bump

I will be going in the next couple of months, I will check in here when I plan to go and see if anyone is keen.

This was weeks ago but aside from the wheels and exhaust I think it looked pretty standard. Sounded great, I do remember that much

That $50 was just for a universal intercooler no piping, commented to highlight that the cheapies work fine usually. You won't usually see a power difference at low boost and power, yes they are usually more effective than stock but it's your car, if you can afford top end stuff and that's what you want then you should get it. It has been proven by many that the cheaper kits, hdi and cooling pro as mentioned, do the job. Regarding piping. You can always shop around. I had quotes from $450-$1000. I luckily found an exhaust shop run by 2 older blokes who made my piping from scratch for $290 and they spent all day on it. Total cost was $340.

My newest cooler cost me $50 brand new 600*300*76. Doing just fine at near 250rwkw on 18psi hoping to be over 250 in the next month. Cheapest part on the car! Came in a plain brown box too!

Spotted a 32 GTR last night on the M4 near Granville at approx 6pm. Gunmetal grey, different wheels and exhaust

Even if it has to come off for repair, may aswell replace with something completely new.

Main thing that sparked the idea was the damage to my current one. If I replace with another second hand one of the same age its only a matter of time before something similar happens so thought I might as well replace with something brand new and neat looking. The only work I really do on the car engine wise is the service.

Thanks for the advice.

Not interested in the cut and shut plenum, as I said mine needs to come off for repair at the very least so may aswell replace it with something new, no 17ish years old.

Sweet Thanks. Great looking manifold.

Found a great thread from 2 years ago. I do want drivability and the stock throttle body is larger in diameter than my cooler piping anyway. Don't think there is much happening in the way of pressure drop and will get sub 300rwkw. Adaptor plate it is if needed.

Thanks. It seems most of the Greddy copies are fine. Only have 2.5 inch piping and a GT3076 running up to 18psi on high boost. In the process of sorting one with a larger throttle body. I did get excited when i saw that Nungun had Greddy ones for $860ish but then it blew out to around 1100 with throttle body adaptor and shipping. Still cheaper than the ebay stores I found.

Scarles have an Aus online shop I just found I just found out. The plenums look ok and are rediculously cheap! It has said it takes their fuel rail but I'm assuking from your first post that a stock fuel rail isn't a problem? As long as its only a plenum and adaptor needed one of these may be the go. Thanks.

Keep the RB20E from the HR31. The weight you save from only having one cam will help then add one of those $150 electric superchargers for extra torques.

For $30 I'm happy to do it every 6 months. Each to their own but it isn't a thread about changing plugs. Got some info so far but would like to know which Plenums to stay right away from and which are ok to buy, easy to fit up etc etc. I would be having it professionally installed so trying to minimise all extra costs.

Negotiable on most items. All parts are used and located in Sydneys Greater West. RB25DET S2 Cam cover set incl coil pack cover $75. R33 turbo brake discs, front pair $50. GKTECH (from when he first started out) FMIC 600*300*76 3"in/out, average looking condition but no leaks $50. HR31 front bar, S3 in pretty average condition has been cut up to fit FMIC. Offers over $50. HR31 Air con condensor and hard lines (under bonnet lines) $100. I do have the compressor but can't get it off the engine bracket. S3 R31 headlights with globes. Came off an HR31 GTSX. All mounting brackets are there and lights are in good condition $100 o.n.o. ADTHREE mudflap set to suit R31/HR31 2-4 door. 6 pieces, black in colour, one of the small pieces requires repair. $200 posted to your door. Will post cam cover set, head lights and mudflap set at buyers expense, other parts are pick up only due to size or wieght. Post here, PM or phone 0451 838 976.Can send pics in a message but SAU won't let me post pics from my phone due to file size. Thanks Liam

Thank you for not flaming guys. It has been concluded that the plenum needs to be changed regardless of wheather its for another stock one or for an after market one. I had read the pro's and cons power wise and heard of the loss of midrange which is a con I don't want. I tend to service the car every six months even though it hardly gets driven anymore. I have had the car since 2005 and it is just a pain taking it all apart to change six plugs. If there is an easy way to fix my standard plenum I'm keen to know but if welding is involved, it looks like a tight fit and that again, the standard one would need to come off. If it was a simple case of I want it just because, I would save for a more expensive one but every time I drive the car just to keep it in driving condition I am expecting the top rad hose clamp to give way and lose all the coolant. Obviously this is also holding me back from track days and wednesday night drags at Eastern Creek which I would like yo start doing more regularly. KiwiRS4T which one did you buy, how much was it and where did you get it from? Thanks again.

Hi guys, I have seached, googled and read lots about this and know that the Greddy, Hypertune, CPC and Plasmaman are the best and expensive. What I want to know is, are any of the cheaper options actually any good? I have read that some leak coolant, some just don't fit right and end up costing more to buy and fit than a more expensive one. Has anyone had any bolt on success with a "Freddy" plenum on an RB25 S2? I am not chasing massive power, 250ish rwkw, I simply want a cleaner looking engine bay, easier to service and my standard plenum has issues. The top rad hose connection has rusted away and isnt clamping properly. I have also searched a simple fix for this problem, asked questions in similar topic threads and come up with nothing. If anyone has bought a decent cheaper one or has good advice I'm all ears on cost, where you bought it, how easy/difficult it ended up being for the installer and tuning results. Thank you for your patience, even a good link would be great as I'm sure its a common question. Just can't find the answers I am looking for.
