Mine used to be Ford "Blueprint" its now Ford "Shockwave" due to the fact a friend of mine bought a ute in this colour.

What colour is yours Shane ? is it the same or just a close match ?

IMHO the blue plenum is a bit too much (ceramic chrome looks better and is funtional)...but to each their own :P

mine's Ford Blueprint Blue, goes very well with the Puprple Pearl engine bay :)

The blue plenum doesnt look to bad actually, i've also replaced all the bolts u can see with stainless ones, and polished a few bits so it all goes together quite nicely :glare:

Will see if i chrome or paint the Nismo plenum when it comes, but this'll do for the meantime

Well...this must mean YOU stole the colour from me...as mine was "Blueprint" years ago.

The Nismo plenum was a waste of cash...you should have bought a real one.

  • 3 weeks later...

Thats right...decided to put the engine back in the GTR.

Car is currently at Hypertune ( www.hypertune.net ) getting intercooler pipework, coolant header tank, coolant overflow tank and catchcan fabricated. As well as fitting the monster 102mm throttle body. Late this week the car will head to Croydon's ( www.croydonracingdevelopments.com ) for priming, starting, tuning and run-in.

This will be a big relief to have the car back up and running. Racing should not be too far away.

A big thanks to Glen Laws for all his assistance as well as Ben Creswick and the boys at Hypertune for all their work.

Will keep you posted.

fark yes paul *drools*

i bet you cant wait to jump in and go for a drive!

:domokun:

yeah im getting a very itchy right foot.

p.s. the pipe joints are only temp...nice new silicone ones to go on.

Looks mean Paul. Is it still on track for Wednesday's Anzac meet?

no...unfortunately wont be ready...no time to tune and run in...test and tune for Nitro Champs may be first outing.

    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt
