I have a forward facing plenum for an RB20det I got with the car that I don't need.

What you see in the pictures in what you get. It looks fairly complete.

I will start at $220.00 ono

I am located in Brisbane with Pickup preferred, or the purchaser to arrange their own freight.

Please email kirstennick@optusnet.com.au or call 0412 547 402 if you are interested.

Thanks

not to be a nay sayer but isn t there a reason why you don t put a forward facing planum on a rb20?

I remeber my performance mechanic saying people had tried it and it did something wrong with the motor.

I could be wrong but that is what he said when a mate of mine asked to modify his rb20 planum to forward facing.

You would have to at least modify intercooler piping, and your throttle cable.

As for the computer I don't know sorry.

Maybe.... just maybe GTIR-Keiron's (comment above) 'performance mechanic' who is an RB20 guru might be able to give you some performance advice though. It really sounds like his his mate's, wife's, cousin's, roomate's, aunt knows what they are talking about.

Thanks mate I have replied to your email with some options. Perhaps if we were to go ahead with a deal we should get GTIR-Keiron's 'performance mechanic' to provide some independant consultancy services, and a complete a full compare and contast report on the efficacy of the RB20 forward facing plenum, versus the standard plenum. Sounds like he really knows his stuff.

Thanks for the input buddy/nay sayer. Ive sent you a PM requesting you to edit your comments. Please keep your unquantified comments out of other people's threads. Why waste everyone's time here?

in light of GTIR Keeirons amazing advice i guess i should remove my forward facing plenum which seems to be working quite well and funnily enough dropped my intake temps but hey if MR K says so ill have to take it off

on a serious note these things are great and shorten your intake pipe by almost 1m if you use a standard cooler with an outlet on either side and less intake pipe means less air volume to take the car from vacum to boost

but hey just my 2c good luck with the sale mine cost more than this

Thanks 'ez 10'.

It's good to get some quantifiable performance gain info.

They are supposed to be a really good value mod.

I would fit it, I just want under my bonnet to look standard.

Edited by NW007

would love this if it was straight bolt on ....so how do you modify the throttle cable? just extend it? how did you do your one? any pictures of it installed?

Your standard throttle cable may already fit seeing as it has a standard throttle body?

It should just bolt straight on top of your intake manifold with some minor intercooloer plumbing changes?

I don't have any pics of it on the car as I have never had it on. I got it with the car when I bought it. Here's a pic though of one I found. It looks like a standard one that's been modified slightly differently though?

i did the same thing to my 25 plenum but with a 90mm throttle body it gave me another 13rwkw but this was tuned on a hot day (got retune because it was running little rich cause of the volume of air in the intercooler changed) i used my std cable too. it made it more responsive also, to get this done it will cost at least 300 or so depending on the place u go to

Thanks 8znR33. Good info!!

Yeah they say they go well.

$300 you say for the mod?........ and I bet that is supplying your own too?

At $220.00 this is a bargain people!

hey sorry been a while since i was last on but yea the mod cost me 300 and i supplied the throttle body as well.

I'm not here to say anything ill of the item since I've seen it a couple times before. But I know with the stock form of where the intake is in the middle of that manifold when it comes in sideways in as stock, cylinders 5 and 6 are naturally lean. Now, moving this to the front, which I can tell is a well done job from the welds and such, will the intake be as lean or more lean than stock in cylinders 5 and 6 since the air is directly into the first several cylinders.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
