I bought one of those Greddy rip off manifolds off Ebay for my RB25 and just found out the standard throttle body doesnt fit.

2 of the holes line up but the other 2 are about 10-15mm off.

Can anyone tell me what throttle body will fit?

q45 throttle body will fit. Probably set you back about 250-300.

I have a *genuine* greddy throttle body adaptor here. Will bolt straight up to the plenum so you can bolt std throttle body onto it. It's genuine, brand new. Came with the genuine inlet plenum i bought. 90$ if you want, pm me. *** Dont pm me, i think this just sold haha... took about 2 minutes :happy:***

Take it to a shop to fit. Buy genuine.

Knock offs are fine if your strapped for cash - But you'll find if you buy genuine all the time - it works out about the same as buying knock offs and fixing things they break. Sure, some knock off stuff works out cheaper - some much more expensive. Why not by genuine and have the cool factor as well as the reliability (most of the time :happy:)

whats the better option the greddy plenum or the ebays ones cost wise as well. also how hard are they to fit can you do itself or best to take it to a shop.

Im halfway through installing my ebay plenum now, although engine is out of the car, and its not that hard. Just unbolt the old one, swap everything over to the new one, although you will need brass fittings to screw into the plenum to attach hoses to, then bolt it back onto the motor (and throttle body needs an adaptor plate). You also need to play around with a few hoses and need a longer throttle cable.

The main reason im changing plenums is im putting an RB25 into a datsun and want the cooler piping shorter and to look better. Im not really worried about the performance side of it

yep thanks for that im the same for the looks, shorter pipeing and makes it easer to get to the spark plugs.

Do you have pics of the build. what do you mean adaptor plate for the throttle body. also what brass fittings do you need.

cheers

Well as i said in my first post, the throttle body (TB) doesnt fit the greddy manifold, 2 of the 4 holes dont line up so you need to make/buy an adaptor plate or bigger TB.

The brass fittings needed are to screw into the greddy manifold so u can attach your vacuum hoses for BOV, charcoal cannister, brake booster etc etc.

Heres a few pics of the car, it also has airbag suspension and 19's

yep thanks for that, your car looks nice. also what about the TB cable to open the plate. how is that done.

Well i havent got to that part yet, but apparantly you need a longer throttle cable, not sure what car to get it off though or if u need to get one custom made.

Ill let you know when i work it out though

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
