One of the first things i bought for rb30det project was the head. I bought a greddy replica intake plenum as i just cant afford the genuine item :(

It arrived and i put aside till i wanted to fit it. I went to bolt it up to the head but the 2 or 3 locating studs dont line up, by a long shot. There a 3 studs, the top front and rear and the third is one in the middle. If i pick one to line up the other either misses the hole or the stud goes into the plenum runner! its as if the plenum is too long for the head. Ive never heard of these plenums not lining up so i have to wonder if the head is actually a rb20 and ive been shafted royally.

Yet the high mount exhaust manifold lines up sweet, but is made for 25 heads only.

Please give me some advice>!!!

RB20/25 exhaust side is identical, so that would line up regardless of what sort of head you had.

You may very well have a RB20 head, as the inlet manifolds are different and not interchangable..... Easiest way to tell would be check the combustion chamber on the head as RB20 block has a 78mm bore and RB25 is 86mm.

Hope that helps you mate.

Umm measured the combustion diameters, 86mm. My workmate suggested there could be a difference between th s1 and s2 heads. Ive taken some photos but cant upload them jst yet. It also has the oil passage for the vct...

i may be guessing but from memory a RB20 intake will not fit a RB25 head...think you might have a RB20 intake mate but I dont really have a way of proving this.

I just know I went to buy one of these cheapy aftermarket plenums and they only had ones to suit a RB25 so that would suggest the RB20 one is differant

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
