Ok, so at some stage I was thinking of doing a plenum on the 34. There are a few problems that need to be accounted for and anyone with experiance to help out a bit.

My car is an auto so currently I run Nistune computer.

Unfortuently the nistune cant compinsate for the loss of the traction controll unit after the Throttlebody so it locks the car into third. Which means I cant replace the plenum. Enless I want to go down the road of a stand alone ECU, shift kit etc etc.

Is there anyway you can keep the traction control + installing aftermarket plenum... possibley a custom setup? Im looking at going a hi mount plenum, smaller body with longer runners as to avoid loosing response.

Hey mate, i've got maunel GTT with a Plazmanan plenum running R33 S2 TB, my engine light stays on because the the factory R34 TB has two sensor, one for TPS and one for the ECU and the R33 one don't.

What power are you aiming? Coz there's no point having traction control when you have a 280rwk+ car lol

Think there are ways around it, i'e Greedy makes a kit for it i'm pretty sure.

Or alternately just take the bulbs out :D

ive been told by a forum trader that greedy dont make the plenum for r34.

ull have to go plazmaman or something else (however the plazmaman ones r quite nice im going to be getting one shortly)

unfortunately no.....greddy dont make it for the ER34. but to be honest the plazmaman plenums seem to be quite amazing. supports over 1000hp, gets rid of all the ugly shit in the engine. and they claim it will increase throttle response by 20hp throughout the revrange. the best thing about plazmaman plenums is they keep the factory long runners so your response is always there.

my mate has had it on his r34 rb25/30 setup for about 6months now but his moving to a rb26 head and selling the plenum.

pretty cheap check it if your interested.

plazmaman plenums on the NEO are a pain in the ass to fit

and after all the drama they still do do anything for TCS

which is why im in the process of making something so the ECU thinks everything is still stock with regards to TCS

thanks for showing me that.

its not that simple

if you plug in the second TPS (one for the TCS) the car will not rev unless its seeing a full open signal

then the TCS mechanism is the size of two coke cans joined together where you gonna fit that?

thats right, even after being in contact with the blokes from nistune there response was that they havent written anything into there chips yet to compinsate for the loss of TCS so automatically from there tests on the neo the Nistune locks the car into third without the TCS unit there. My answer has mostly been answered, as I havent seen many if any posts regarding this I was curious to see if any manafacturer had created a plenum or TB with supporting attachments for the TCS unit. Smartest thing I could think of would be to custom make a fitting for the unit on an aftermarket plenum. As you understand to simply remove the TCS unit for an automatic car would also mean Id hafto change to a stand alone ECU which would mean aftermarket shift kit... your already looking at 4g plus for the sake of simply installing a front facing plenum. Let us know Dahtone when you have a product from your research and as im happy to try it out.

who has done theis and what u doabout the error light?

no tps pluged in?

Buit a greddy one fits fine on a NEO, just have to use a non neo throttle body. remove the TCS mechanism from the r34 throttle boby and leave ot plugged into the loom so the ecu thinks it is still there.

i think most poeple who get aftermarket plenums are already in the 300kw+ range. TCS isnt gonna do much for you. my mate just got it removed alltogether

and it cleans up alot of the ugly shit wires in the engine bay aswell.

Im fine with removing the TCS, problem is it just cant BE removed on an auto. You need well over 3g of mods just to remove that TCS.

I assume it would run on some kind of ground signal and would measure the amount of current sent through when its open/closed 50% 80% blah blah so why dont you just make a sender which matches the signal when its fully opened.

Just a guess.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
