hey whats up,Im just waiting on a new turbo for my skyline,with the old one it was making 300rwkw but im chasin more bout 330-350,and cant work out if i really need a forward plenum or not,im running a power f.c with atmo bov so if i really need it its i bit of a pain in the ass,coz ill have to get a oil fiter relocation kit and re-weld a new flange for the bov.also it will be alot closer to the afm,its not to bad at the moment but its pretty close to the throtle body so stalling isnt that bad unless you back of qik at low rpm,any way what im needing to find out is who is making this sort of power with the factory plenum?? Im sure its possible just wanting some other opinions and also wanting to get everything sorted befor she goes on the dyno...

cheerz Jim.

what sort of skyline is it?

It is said that the Stock RB25 plenum can handle approx 350RWKW/500Rwhp

Few here have installed an Rb26 plenum rather than the FF Plenum.

its a r31 gtsx,if i can get 350rwkw il be happy with that,for now any way. :)

At the end of the day, the stock plenum will be fine. With a forward facing plenum you will gain a bit more response and a bit more power through out the rev range (depending on plenum of course). It tidies up the engine bay something fierce as the stock plenum setup is a very ugly piece of gear. I did the plenum very early on and it was probably one of the best mods i ever did.

Your call though.

Nope, you can either use an adaptor plate which isn't sold new anymore. Or you have to modify the hell out of it. There is a thread in the Forced Induction section about it. It aint a small job.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      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.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
