Can someone PLEASE help me out... Iv installed a front facing plenum(exactly to tutorial) and a large throttle body...

the car hasnt been started for 3months.

I finished the plenum today and did the coolant. the car idled fine for about 10mins then it just idled extremely low and sounded like shit then started struggling so i turned it off.

I tried to start it again and it made some funny noise and wont kick over and if it does it just idles really low and sounds really bad.

PLEASE help..

Someone told me it could be that the fuel has gone bad.. but it was fine for 10mins.

Checked for vacuum leaks? Your car will idle a bit higher when you first start it, then once it settles if you have any vacuum leaks they will become apparent as the revs will drop and your car will start 'hunting', i.e revs will drop,drop,drop and then kick back up. Have a good look over EVERYTHING. Even if you havn't changed something you could have knocked a hose off or something equally annoying.

hey im currently building an rb25 to put in my r32 skyline..just curios in all the pics posted the plenum sits very close to the r33 skylines clucth cylinder on the firwall..

an i know that a r32 skylines clutch cylinder is longer than the r33 one... so i want to know if anyone has fitted an rb25 with a greddy or greddy copy plenum to a r32 skyline and whether it hit the clutch cylider or the clutch line?

thanks

You need to use a R33 clutch master in a R32, mine is fine with clearances after the R33 change over

hmm just bought a greddy copy plenum and one of my injectors is about 1mm off from one of the holes in the plenum and is stretching the seal a bit when the rail is bolted down.

Fingers crossed i don't get a air leak or i wont be happy.

Some advise. make sure everything fits before you paint your plenum because i dont think ill be able to send mine back now if it leaks.

Right, time for this threads yearly revival.

I'm looking into getting one of these plenums for my 34, but I've read through all 13 pages and didn't find any conclusive answers to the differences between the motors. So. Has anyone installed one of these on a Neo? If not then I guess I will have to be a pioneer, but thought I'd ask first.

From what I can tell, the stock TB is out of the question, so I'm going to need an aftermarket one, correct? That's fine, given I've done away with TCS already. Any advice on brand, where to buy from, etc? What else do I need? Gasket, recommended place to buy?

Copy at this stage, more specifically the Autobahn ones because I've seen a lot around that are quite high quality. Unless anyone has any other recommendations? Have you got a link to the Jun style ones, are they decent enough quality?

*EDIT* This one you mean? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NISSAN-SKYLINE-GTT-NEO-RB25-R34-RB25DET-INTAKE-MANIFOLD-/230522764064?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item35ac3a3b20#ht_5173wt_905

For the price I could almost go genuine though...

I posted in the forced induction section but only got one reply, if anyone else had similar issue can they share their experience

I purchased my car with a modified std plenum (throttle body cut and welded to the front), as im upgrading to a larger turbo and goin to push around 20psi shortly. I dint want any detonation problems caused by uneven distribution of air between cylinders that the plenum would (probably) cause.So over the long w.e i fited a Chinese GReddy plenum. The previous plenum setup ran perfect with my power fc (tuned for std turbo,injectors,afm,12psi) and even on the std ecu. With the new plenum fitted car fired up first crank,idle was abit rough though expected, when for a drive and there is a masive loss of power. Car is struggling to rev through the range, as if a shit load of timing has been pulled out (similar to R&R) but worse. Do you think it could throw the tune out because of the shorter runners and overall volume change ect of the new plenum, or have i done somthing wrong (followed the wright up in DIY). Like a big vac leak, all looms are pluged in,i used gsket goo between head and plenum but also reused factoty metal gasket. Holds boost fine. Also plugged std ecu back in idles perfect and drove allot better but not 100%.

Sorry for essay. What do you guys think.

You changed something pretty major and didnt get it tuned.. what do you expect?

The standard plenum is designed to recieve air in the centre, the Greddy style plenums are designed to recieve air from the front. This is why its not ideal to mod the standard plenum to front facing.

I'd suggest that your tune is out now because the cylinders are recieving air a bit more evenly. But having said that maybe you just missed something and have a VAC leak or some other issue

But I think a retune will fix alot if your stock computer is running the car O.K

I have an autobarn Greddy Copy. Been on the car for 2 years now, run 18psi through it for the last year without issues. Just spend some time prepping it before install

Yeh from what I can see, the Jun style ones on eBay look pretty high quality as well. Thing is, for $875 delivered, it would only cost $200 more to get a genuine Plazmaman...

Worth it?

Don't get a Jun style one, stick with the Freddy!

Doubt I'm gonna get the Jun style one, can't justify the price compared to the well known brands.

Freddy was the original plan, but they don't make them specifically for 34's... Seems like a lot of farkin around to get them to fit. After a bit of research, I'd also like to keep the standard runners, don't want to lose mid-range.

then plazmaman is your answer, They do sit quite high though which means its a tight fit with the strut brace.. I actually just swapped one over to a Greddy copy one because the owner didnt like it and said he had bonnet closing issues towards the throttle body I think he is wrong but none the less did the job because thats what im paid for..

Reason I suggested the Jun style ones was because you do have a higher initial outlay but u dont have to faff about with the iac from and may work out cheaper in the end..

    • 215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.  
    • That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
    • I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models? 
    • I had a fuel smell coming from the drivers rear and pulled the tank out to inspect where it was coming from, turns out the breather hose from the tank to the filler neck was perished. I’m going to Japan next week and I’ll grab it while I’m there  pulled the oil tank apart and started cleaning this crap out of it, some brake cleaner and rags got it looking new again 
    • Hmm. Was quite a few years ago now. I think I bought from a crowd in the US called CDT Audio. The speaker is the HD-6. The HD-6CF would have been the better option (based on T-S parameters), but they were discontinued in 4 ohm at that point in time. The HD-6 is a better driver in almost every other way (than the CF) - just not as good in IB. They still do the HD-6. They might even have a more suitable (for IB) option here.https://www.cdtaudio.com/cdtnew22/products/components/woofers/midwoofers/midwoofers.htm But, here's the rub. I was working in the US a lot back then, so I got them delivered to my US office and then just brought them back to OZ myself. I don't know if they will ship to OZ, and it probably wouldn't be great cost-wise anyway. As to results. They're driven direct off the rear channels of my headunit, because the headunit can be setup to run the rears as subs. So, not a lot of power being fed there. Nevertheless, there's no shortage of volume - the sub levels don't need or want to be boosted at all. The bass is definitely not what you would call "tight". It is definitely a bit delayed compared to a proper sub. But, with the great front soundstage and really good 6.5" woofers in the front doors, I'm getting most of the bass detail from the front and the rear is really only to extend the bottom end a bit. Works for what I'm doing. I mean - until recently you couldn't really hold a conversation in my car due to the fuel pump, and for many years I had tyres so noisy (Kumho KU36 at <50 tread depth) that I had to drive with earplugs anyway!
