yeah there is a topic on how to install them in the D.I.Y section i used it when installing mine comes up a treat if you wanna see photo's look in here (forced induction section) for my topic Green N/A build.

Cheap copy of Greddy. Some people have them though. I think its a bit of a gamble whether or not you end up with one thats cast properly or not... in saying that just jap would probably replace it for you. I went with a proper Greddy on my car, I personally prefer to support the genuine stuff.

A few years ago, Greddy was the only feasible aftermarket plenum option for the rb25.

Then suddenly someone copied it and flogged them off cheap.

I have no experience with this particular jjr product and as such I am not commenting on that product, but some people have noticed flow inconsistencies between the cylinders with the copies I referred to.

i had this manifold instaled on my previus R33 and efect was great, manual was here in DIY section but i cant find it there any more:(

here is the link:)

Unless you are in a huge hurry to get one i would keep an eye on ebay and the for sale section and wait for a genuine greddy to pop up, will cost you a few hundred more but will work the way it should.

copying the out side of one of these is easy, the inside is where all the r&d goes and thats the dodgy bit of these copies.

It usually has a big GREDDY logo in red stamped on the top of it near the throttle body :)

my genuine Greddy one didn't have a red logo stamped on it. it did however come with a Greddy sticker that goes in the big raised up rectangle on top of the thing. it also comes with shiny screw in fittings for the the vacuum/pressure lines and pretty much all the vacuum hose / clamps / bolts etc you need to install the thing.

mmm ive seen a few of the ebay copies first hand. they are pretty average.

I'm going to buy one soon and cut it open, weld the pin holes/craters and shitty bits up and clean the runners up and then weld it back together. then get the surfaces machined and maybe putty and paint one. see what the total comes to.. just for science

as they come tho they are pretty average. genuine greddy items are very pricey now. and hypertune are great and are also expsensive..(but when you know what goes into them, ie runners, velocity stacks and the billet plenum section they are a work of art and are worth every damn penny. plazaman items also look the biz. high quality stuff and results to back it up

i bought a stryder manifold (very simular design to hypertune). couldnt be more impressed. but i had to modify a few things. had to fit throttle cable bracket. and move both water sensors near the top radiator pipe inlet..... bit of mucking about but great product

anyway as for the chinese copies mate they are like any other chinese product. Hit and miss buyer beware

cheers

I wonder if anyone has tried a NISMO one, from what I understand the NISMO one is the unit that MINE's uses when it replaces the plenum on it's stage 2 RB26 upgrade.. I wonder if they can be made to fit an RB25 liket he Greddy one can???

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
