Had a chat to the lads at the zorst place in braddon, what do people think about their idea bout rotating the plenum (the standard one) to shorten the piping distance to reduce lag when putting in the front mount?

Quite simply... Dont.

It is a method used by some guys to reduce the amount of bends in the piping and reduce the amount of work the air has to do to get from A to B. However... it does work when you spend the money and replace the standard plenum with an a/m plenum (.e Greddy). what doesnt work is when you use the standard plenum that has been cut and welded. You see what happens is:

the standard plenum has the intake on the side and is designed to distribute air evenly between all clyinders. When you change where the intake is (move it to the front) the air enters the plenum unevenly and services the first three clyinders more so than the back three. What also happens is:

The plenum is designed to have air enter it and pressurise by bouncing of the walls of the plenum. If that air then has to travel three times as far before it hits anything??? Which agan goes back to the cylinders furthest away from the intake being lean.

Where the idea comes from is the a/m plenums that are designed properly to disperse the air evenly. You will notice that most of these plenums start to thin out at the back end. These do the Job fine and you wont have any issues, but having said that I dont remember anyone really getting that much out of it.

Spotted a stock looking dark blue R32 GT-R on the Parkway on the way to work this morning a bit before 8am

A black R34 25GT-t in the pool carpark in Civic about the same time

and 'MSPEC2' on Allara street, about the same time :P

I have heard that before, but I have also talked to a few guys who use a modified front throttle standard plenum and they have all said that if you have an adjustable air/fuel computer then you can get it to run fine, and you do save alot of lag.

It depends on how the engine is tuned though, like I said you must have an adjustable ecu though too.

Oh and BTW I have one of those plenums with piping to suit an R33 for sale if anyone is interested! :O

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
