i will be ordering a FF intake from Vulture Motorsport soon, takes standard TB (R33)and is available in Aus for a reasonable price, same intake gasket part number for R33/R34 so it SHOULD physically fit a NEO motor but may have other fitment issues on R34

this thread will be extremely useful when i buy a gtst. i can't stand the original plenum lol. i'm switching from a gtr to gtst. i know its a huge downgrade but i'm caught in financial trouble.

does his package comes with all the parts needed?

Thought id post some pics of my plenum.

Used a genuine Greddy plenum and Q45 throttle body had zero problem fitting after looking through this thread. I didnt flip the injectors or fpr (i think it looks neater), also ran the coolent lines through the throttle body.

3rd pic shows where i mounted the stock bov and 4th shows how i plumbed it back

Performance wise bit of a drop in the mid range, but made an extra 4kw more :cheers:

Great job man very neat!

How did you go about changing both the cam cover breather barbs to the single outlet 90 degree ? do they just push out?

Ok so can anyone tell me what I should have plugged into the Vac nipples on the underside of the plenum?

Im thinking BOV, Rocker cover breather, FPR...... What am I missing?

Carbon Canister if you are still using it

And are you sure rocker cover breather was one of them?

Should be BOV, FPR, Carbon Canister, Boost gauge

EDIT: You must have been talking about the larger Nipple that goes to the PCV valve

I changed mine around so it looked a bit neater using the stock fittings and the stock position plumbed into the intake pipe. I pulled the T fitting that points straight up and out as well out and used a bench grinder to shave it down enough so that it would fit into the cam cover, neatened it up before I put it in but thats basically what I did

heres what it looks like:

so where exactly does that line that comes out the side of the rocker cover go? Also, when I got my rocker covers ceramic coated I think the guys took out the o-ring or whatever it was that was in there... is there anything else I can use to connect that line with the one way valve?

The line that comes out of the intake side of the rocker cover is the PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) valve. If you just have an empty hole there, then they have removed the whole thing and you will need to find another one. They are pretty small and basic but the setup wont work unless you have a working PCV valve in there

It goes to one of the nipples on the intake manifold (i got a bigger nipple with mine which is the right size for the hose needed to go PCV -> Manifold

yeah well I have still got the hose with the one way valve attached, but I think there was an o-ring or something in the hole before that held it in there. Maybe it broke when we were removing it? Anyone know where I can buy a new one?

ATTENTION: DO NOT PM ME ABOUT "PICTURES NOT WORKING" OR asking me stupid fking questions (that are already answered in the thread) about this plenum install I did 5 years ago - using the words "lol cant werk out how to buy brass nipples dat fit aye" - If you can't read/comprehend - not my problem.

Yeah this is fair enough, the Guide (and the following pages) are more then enough to do the basic install. The rest of the stuff (like cooler piping, BOV location etc) need to be worked out on your own.

AFAIK Autobarn will sell you the fitting kit for these anyway, thats where mine is from and I got a bag full of bolts, nipples, joiners. Everything you need pretty much to put the plenum on

Hi there, I'm new to this forum..I have a few issues with the plenum/injector seals! I have a top feed setup with top feed Bosch injectors. The plenum came with 6 little bosses for top feed injectors. I have put the o rings on these and put the o rings on the injectors! The metal bosses are loose as buggers! I have been told to buy gtr seals and get the metal collar on each injector machined to allow the seals to go into the plenum with the injectors. This also means I will have to shorten the fuel rail spacers lowering the height of he rail..is there any other way of fitting top feed injectors creating a seal?

Thanks for any info

Stef

    • perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML
    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.
