Im sure there must be a reasonable explanation, but why is it that my stock manifold has a water feed. My old alfa had a heated intake for fuel economy, but we go to lengths to cool the intake charge then have it heated by the plenum?

below zero climates could seriously stuff with your engine and its mechanical workings....for eg if you lived in japan and parked your skyline outside during winter :laugh: Same as the heater/cooler on the oil filter.

I thought it might be for emissions, but for a cold start up I thought the thermostat restricted water flowing untill the engine was warm anyway?

So could I use a brass T' piece to divert the flow from the head?...

-Might have to try that in summer, its still too cold in Tas (sympathy please :laugh: )

Rob is on the money. When you have a shower of a morning, the steam condenses on the mirror. If the manifold is cold the same thing happens with fuel, it condenses on the inlet manifold, giving you a lean mixture which isnt conducive to smooth running with a cold engine.

no do not divert the water away from the head.

the head must always flow water.

You block each end of the inlet/outlet jacket to the plenum so its bypassed. This is easy on An RB30

I cant comment on the twincam stuff.

note! you will Have ruff start up if you live in cold areas....

That's what you do and what the negative is... what is the positive??

the water feed to teh turbo comes from the plenum .

if you are talking about the line that runs next to the injectors??? it comes out of the rear of the plenum around the back of the head and to the turbo... i wouldnt be blocking this off :blush:

    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
    • Ok so i will NEED to have this sensor anyway even with Nistune (or standalone ECU) https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-boost-pressure-sensor-evap-control-system-fits-nissan-r34-skyline-c34-nm35-stagea-pnt30-x-trail-rb25det-vq25det-sr20vet?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOoqfxX48bW9bEwH62orcNhtBfp7ekAL0C9Ca89ySFGUiBzXfXeze Is this the correct one? And this is only thing i need? No other "things" connected to the sensor or something? I do have the wiring.
