about $500 for the plenum and about another $100 for the throttle body (do remember the throttle body has to have a mounting plate welded to it and it is an aftermarket one as well :) )

as it has to be sanded and then polished and it is quite tricky to get into some of the small spaces.

you could sand a lot of it yourself though...i've sanded and polished my own plenum pipes and rocket covers before....it's not hard, especially if you have some machinery.

i woulda sand/bead blasted it first

Keegs find me a polisher that does it at that price and is as good quality and I will happily change :)

do the main sanding yourself (sand blasting as well)....not hard. I was going to do my greddy plenum but just couldn't be farked. It's only the hard to get places you need a professional to do. And the polishing bit isn't exceptionally hard either.

no plazma man is a differnt plenum, the greddy is cast and the plazma man one is welded together. From what i know both are of good quality and workmanship, but my car had a greddy one already thats all.

Whats the difference between the plazmaman plenum and the greddy. Is one a cheap copy of the other?

yes...plazmaman is a copy of the greddy...from what i know...I doubt there are HUGE differences...but as with most copies there would be some differences.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
