Eoi. R33/34 Rb25 Greddy Knockoff Inlet Manifold Possibly $180ea


Recommended Posts

Ask him to take some more hi-res pics of a plenum in stock. Those pics on ebay are crap and do not show much detail. Pics hide alot of faults, but at least we have a better idea :D

I think the first one went on ebay the othe day, emailed and he said he would send some better pics. PS i think these two plenums are exactly the same, ill email autotechnica again and see if they think they will be able to beat this price, thats if they get back to me.

i thought so too when i saw it, but if they are both sposed to be same quality as the greddy unit, then they ought to look pretty similar. Now we have some market competition on an already well-priced product. Good stuff

Actually I was the first one to buy this manifold. And jumped on here to let you all know.

I recieved if today.But I bought mine for 450 BUY IT NOW + 50 postage.(hence 500 delivered)

The quality is pretty good.Not in the same quality of finished product as Greddy but pretty good.

A few casting dags in between the runners and the gasket surface is not machined.My best mate

is an ex-foundry mould maker and he's had a look this arvo and is pretty impressed.Just needs a little chean up and a polish. I'm happy.Another $100 for a polish and it's still less than 1/2 the price of the Greddy.Looks like the same dimensions as my Greddy.Internally and externally.Will keep you posted on performance.Will run it std,ported and extrude honded. :)

"SMACK MY BITCH UP" :P

Received an enail from autotechnica today, saying that they could match the price of $319 + postage, although they tell me that they need an adapter to fit the standard throttle body, which they sell(but didn't give me a price)They should be ready late october, what do you guys think, who do we want to supply them(im not fussed)I could get them milled for about $40 ea...Could also get them polished for about $100(cant be sure on price until seen)

Redman8: Did you buy thid for your GTR? If so, WHY?

:) No I didnt buy it for my gtr.She's finished and is at the side of my tommy in the shed.

They both get a little run every now and then.I'm saving them for a rainy day.

I am doing up a 94 gts4 with a 25/30 hybrid at the moment.About 3mths off just yet.Suspension and body is all reconditionded or new.With the addition of GTR rear guards,carbon fibre bonnet,FORD SCREAMING YELLOW panit,TRUST front bar,Black Drift wing,19"Lenso Muse wheels.

AS for most of the important stuff,

Reconditionded Head,De-burred/Acid dipped and cleaned std block,(modified to take turbo and 4wd sump),Forged Hypertec pistons,Cryod std rods,Kings bearings,Top mount manifold,50mm wastegate,To4z,Blitz BOV,800cc inj,NOW FORWARD FACING INLET MANIFOLD,Q45 90mm throttlebody,Q45 AFM,Splitfires,Apexi 270deg 8.7mm lift sticks,Apexi Power FC,Os Gieken twin plate,120mm intercooler,remote oil filter and cooler,twin thermofans>>>>>>>>>and more to come. :rofl:

Redman8 sounds tops :)

You copied my rims :rofl:, get them powder coated in "Precious Steel Pearl", they would look awesome with the yellow paint.

:D

yeah im in for a manifold at that price or thereabouts, if by milling you mean the gasket surface then i'd get that done too, polish is a bit of a waste as i tend to close my bonnet lol. I don't mind waiting til next month, but if the ebay ones are as good as redman says, id be more inclined to get one of them. They are in stock i assume, autotechnica have dicked us around too much in my opinion.

Interesting that the ebay one says R32, R33, R34 but R34 RB25 has different stud pattern so is there a seperate one or does he not realise this maybe?

I'm for whoever can get them to us faster?

If the quality is the same and the prices are the same, just get them from whoever is ready to supply..

Personally, I think Autotechnica shouldn't even be considered anymore considering how long the've had and still haven't produced a thing besides a lot of stories?

Spoke to the ebay supplier today, he said to give him two days, and he will have all the answers about fitment etc...Then we are ready to start

So we can hopefully start this Group Buy on Monday..

Sound good to me..

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.

    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
