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

    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
