Hi all,

I have my car in at the moment getting a new plenum fitted.

The guys doing it doubt that it will be possible to plumb the plenum up to the cooler without either modifying the window washer bottle or replacing it with a custom one.

Anybody out there got photos of the trust plenum fitted to an R33, or have fitted one without having to mod the washer bottle?

Alternately, anybody have any hints on modding the washer bottle so it doesnt look like a back yard job?

Cheers

Steve

Steve,

On mine, they ripped the pump off the standard washer bottle and fabricated an aluminum one that is about half the size and put it back in the corner. This allows the cooler pipes to come up and get to the TB & plenum.

Hmm - it's a lot of trouble and hassle though...

Maybe just sell me your Trust plenum - that will solve the problem !! :D:) :)

Cheers,

keep me posted on that one steve, i'm about to put one on too... check out this thread - do you know what this part described in the manual is????!?!

I got trust plenum and lost washer bottle. Perhaps you could even go to wreckers or something and look for a smaller one off a diff car or even use a radiator overflow bottle, think it would fit?

Dont know if this helps, I just got a replacement water washer bottle with my Trust FMIC kit, they probably assume that your going to replace the plenum at some stage with the new kit. Anyhow its about half the size of the factory one and is actually a suzuki spare part. Let me know if you want the part number/pics of the bottle?

I'm installing the kit this weekend, and am unsure whether it will be needed yet.  

So if I dont use it this weekend and you can wait till next week, then its yours for the price of postage ;)

Please yes, if you dont need it, please just pm me and I will send my details. Probably easiest for you if you just COD it down, or I can transfer the money to your bank account.

Thanks heaps

Ronin 09, I will do some investigating, as I imagine it will be a pretty long trip to fight over a washer bottle;)

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
