Heres some shots of what I have been doing lately. Just painted some stuff on the weekend to go along with the 100s of other parts I have painted, started making my light weight doors, and also the massive rewire of the car. I am moving all the wiring inside the car and cutting from the loom what i dont need like radio stuff ect, hope I remember where it all goes cause the wire schematic is too big too understand haha.

The last two runners are slightly offset in the r32's to clear the brake master cylinder i believe. The top of the plenum is different from each model as well (AAC valves are different from r32 rb25de and r32 rb20det) Pretty sure the r33 na would be different also.

Depends on what car you are doin the conversion in....In a r32 use the lower half of the rb25de runners, and rb20det plenum. Not sure on r33 inlet manifold port sizes, but the rb25de has bigger ports than the rb20det hence why u use the rb25de runners. I posted some pics a while ago in here showing the difference in sizing....

the engine is going into a VL (/me hides from flamethrowers) and as such should have no real clearance issues i believe. the main thing that worries me is the possibility of 5 & 6 running lean from too much air, but just by looking at my plenum's runners they don't appear to be much different from the other four. i might just leave it and see.

FYI - The R33 runners miss the VL brake booster by 10mm - just enough.

I havn't had any issues and don't expect to. I'm sure nissan has spent millions of R & D money designing these things so that it is not possible to run 1 or 2 cylinders so lean that an engine could die, regardless of whether it's a turbo or N/A plenum.

The R33 25de/det plenum won't go on RB20 manifold though.

The R33 don't have the shorter runners on 5 & 6.

If your 25de plenum fits onto the 20 runners, i think that confirms that the r32 rb25de does have the shorter runners like the 20det.

The R33 are not shorter on 5 & 6.

I've only ever quick looked at them, but im going to say, they are shorter, they don't make the length up in anyway that i could tell,

i.e by running them out to the side or sticking further down and back up to the head inlet.

Im going to say this is the dodgiest piece of Nissan engineering to date, like they made the motor then realised whoops, dont fit in the car, bah, lets just shortern them....

Who has a plenum to prove either way?

Cubes?

Ok, they do appear to loop a little.

Need to pull the sand out i guess and see how much volume is in those runners compared to the others.

It must be close though.

Cheers for the pics, always nice to clear stuff up.

100 pages can't be to far away now :)

okay i just checked my R33 non turbo plenum and it does not look anything like that, the top-bottom join on the runners are all on the same level, and they all look pretty damn similar in length.

so i'd say i'm okay with the plenum as it is......

p.s. jesus there's a lot of goddam coolant lines on these buggers!

SO just the clarify, if using the R32 RB25-DE Head, you can use the R32 RB25-DE lower half of the intake manifold with the RB20 Upper half with no worries? Just making sure before i pick up a RB25-DE manifold this weekend.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
    • Ah coolant overflow, previous discussions make way more sense now lol.
