PICS tell a thousand words.....who sold it to you?

If its a trust one it should have come with a red greddy sticker, and the plastic packaging inside the box should have blue trust / greddy writing on it, forget what it says

id rather not say who sold it to me

it wouldnt be fair and its against forum rules as im pretty sure it is the real deal it came with the box and red sticker too but id like to prove somone wrong also with proof that it is the real deal

so what your saying is that there is no greddy marked on the plenum.....

Ok, so the kit come with a packet full of bits and pieces of vacume line stuff IIRC, and you would of needed a TB adapter unless you are using a Q45, the adapter comes in a small box with greddy / trust all over its plastic packaging too....

and the stuff filling the rest of the box is that annoying polystyrene stuff.....it was a funny colour IIRC, blue or something (yeah blue semi circlies Im sure of it)......if thats how yours has come its genuine

You should be able to pic the cheap fake from the actual Greddy product a mile away. The copy Greddy intake plenums have a terrible terrible finish.

If your was genuine it should have included Greddy documentation in the box to certify its authenticity and should have included the red Greddy badge as mentioned that is usually attached to the top of the plenum itself after you fit it.

Mine came in a TRUST box, all the vacuum lines have TRUST printed on them, all documentation is PLASTERED with TRUST/GReddy, there is a GReddy badge which sticks on, the TB adaptor has GReddy embossed on it..

I got it from nengun, no probs there.. however 6 months later autobarn sell them for the same price it cost me.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
