I'm currently building an RB25/30 for my 32, would a standard GTR plenum fit on an RB20 25 or 30? if so wouldn't that be the best bet with the multiple throttle bodies? or some thing simpler like a greddy?

i would also like to no if a gtr plenum could go straight onto a 25?? also the ebay "greddy" plenums they say they are a copy, good or bad idea

Seriously dont know why people bother with these cut and shut stock plenums. If you want a forward facing plenum then fair enough, so do I, but if your going to do it then do it properly and get something like a Greddy or Plazmaman plenum. These companies have spent lots of time and money trying to perfect the flow characteristic of their product and saved you all the hard work, so I think the extra money is well worth it.

Plus they look a shitload better than modified stock, plazmaman especially.

Here is my plenum... I'm not sure what it is as the previous owner just said it was 'custom'. It's using the standard throttle body.... my head gasket just blew the other night... not sure if this is related to the damages as im still trying to grasp a better understanding on mechanics.

Feck me, nice car to be "learning teh mechanics" theres some heat in that bay for sure

yes gtr plenum can fit onto an rb25 head. Blitz makes a bolt-on adopter kit its worth about $700 and then you have to buy the gtr plenum and sort out the injectors . and blitz made a comment that it wont work with a std ecu

Do you or somebody else do know where i can get this Blitz adapter kit ? I would be very thankful if somebody could help me.

I would not like to use the std plenum just sealed at the center and a hole put for the inlet at the front because of obvious uneven distribution.

I built my plenum with care to try to avoid this problem but probably would have been better to buy Plasmaman/Subzero etc.

i'm just checking that you really think it has lowered intake temps by 30 degrees?

exactly how and where did you measure this?

ps. i have measured mine at the plenum so i have a pretty good idea why you won't lower intake temps by 30 degrees when you remove a little pipework.

well i guest you dont tune cars then sore the temp drop on my haltech,mates ems and motec all 10sec cars guest that proves that it works

hey bud i have used a cut standard one for the past 2 years without any problems and so have a some of my friends. your intake temps will drop by about 30 degress which = hp

When was the last time you tore down the motor to check for uneven wear to back up your claims?

    • I know why it happened and I’m embarrassed to say but I was testing the polarity of one of the led bulb to see which side was positive with a 12v battery and that’s when it decided to fry hoping I didn’t damage anything else
    • I came here to note that is a zener diode too base on the info there. Based on that, I'd also be suspicious that replacing it, and it's likely to do the same. A lot of use cases will see it used as either voltage protection, or to create a cheap but relatively stable fixed voltage supply. That would mean it has seen more voltage than it should, and has gone into voltage melt down. If there is something else in the circuit dumping out higher than it should voltages, that needs to be found too. It's quite likely they're trying to use the Zener to limit the voltage that is hitting through to the transistor beside it, so what ever goes to the zener is likely a signal, and they're using the transistor in that circuit to amplify it. Especially as it seems they've also got a capacitor across the zener. Looks like there is meant to be something "noisy" to that zener, and what ever it was, had a melt down. Looking at that picture, it also looks like there's some solder joints that really need redoing, and it might be worth having the whole board properly inspected.  Unfortunately, without being able to stick a multimeter on it, and start tracing it all out, I'm pretty much at a loss now to help. I don't even believe I have a climate control board from an R33 around here to pull apart and see if any of the circuit appears similar to give some ideas.
    • Nah - but you won't find anything on dismantling the seats in any such thing anyway.
    • Could be. Could also be that they sit around broken more. To be fair, you almost never see one driving around. I see more R chassis GTRs than the Renault ones.
    • Yeah. Nah. This is why I said My bold for my double emphasis. We're not talking about cars tuned to the edge of det here. We're talking about normal cars. Flame propagation speed and the amount of energy required to ignite the fuel are not significant factors when running at 1500-4000 rpm, and medium to light loads, like nearly every car on the road (except twin cab utes which are driven at 6k and 100% load all the time). There is no shortage of ignition energy available in any petrol engine. If there was, we'd all be in deep shit. The calorific value, on a volume basis, is significantly different, between 98 and 91, and that turns up immediately in consumption numbers. You can see the signal easily if you control for the other variables well enough, and/or collect enough stats. As to not seeing any benefit - we had a couple of EF and EL Falcons in the company fleet back in the late 90s and early 2000s. The EEC IV ECU in those things was particularly good at adding in timing as soon as knock headroom improved, which typically came from putting in some 95 or 98. The responsiveness and power improved noticeably, and the fuel consumption dropped considerably, just from going to 95. Less delta from there to 98 - almost not noticeable, compared to the big differences seen between 91 and 95. Way back in the day, when supermarkets first started selling fuel from their own stations, I did thousands of km in FNQ in a small Toyota. I can't remember if it was a Starlet or an early Yaris. Anyway - the supermarket servos were bringing in cheap fuel from Indonesia, and the other servos were still using locally refined gear. The fuel consumption was typically at least 5%, often as much as 8% worse on the Indo shit, presumably because they had a lot more oxygenated component in the brew, and were probably barely meeting the octane spec. Around the same time or maybe a bit later (like 25 years ago), I could tell the difference between Shell 98 and BP 98, and typically preferred to only use Shell then because the Skyline ran so much better on it. Years later I found the realtionship between them had swapped, as a consequence of yet more refinery closures. So I've only used BP 98 since. Although, I must say that I could not fault the odd tank of United 98 that I've run. It's probably the same stuff. It is also very important to remember that these findings are often dependent on region. With most of the refineries in Oz now dead, there's less variability in local stuff, and he majority of our fuels are not even refined here any more anyway. It probably depends more on which SE Asian refinery is currently cheapest to operate.
