I got the plenum with the car so i have no idea where to get one or how much its worth.I like the catch can idea where could i place it in my bay and is it a defect, If it is i recon welding a nipple on would be the next thing i would do but will this change the engine performance in any way?

i bought one of those relocated throttle body plentums and my mechanic refused to put it on unless i had a safc or something,

he grabbed a genuine greddy one and showed me/explained how these stock ones front goes low then high then low presure so you will have different volumes of air in the plentum.. when the greddy ones start high and wide then thin/lower towards the back to keep the presure the same across all cylinders..

he rebuilds engines allday and has every kind of machanical degree so i sold it ahah anything he doesnt like i wont buy but ohwell i respect his knowledge n experiance.. i really liked it though ahaaha

before and after dyno runs would be very interesting

just looked at your photo and you can see how they incorperated what i was talking about into that one, looks rediculously clean and very well made !!!

So ur mechanic recoommended a Greddy intake over the cut and shut stock item?

I see what he is saying about airflow, makes perfect sence. I think i will take his advice too.

For those who want a longer cable for there forward facing plenum. I used a throttle cable from a u12 bluebird with an sr20de in it and it fits perfectly.

just to let u all know not to do the front facing conversion on the factory one

i had one on my car they dont work at all

as the other guy said the air flow goes straight to the back and goes in the back cylinder there for the back cylinder is putting in twice as much fuel and air then the others.

thus in this wears out ur motor and use alot more fuel and gives u lest horspower

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
