Has anybody tried fitting an A32/A33 Maxima throttle body (72mm) to a Plazmaman RB25 plenum?

I'm interested to know if this works as $500 for a billet 72mm TB is a joke. I know there's other's available from CPC, OBX etc via the net just want to know if this works first as it could be one of those handy money savers.

whats the bolt hole spacing on them? could be another option for the greddy plenum aswell

But the Plazmaman throttle bodies look sexy as!

They'd damn well want to as well for the money. Whilst I agree they look good, they're not worth paying for fashion over function. My car is a basic drifter that doesn't need to look good, just needs to work well.

How big is the std? In the new year with my plenum on i was going to look to mill out a stocker 4-5mm, i think std they may be about 65mm. Was also thinking about trying one of the twin type throttles of the L98/LT1 350 Chev as they are meant to give sharper throttle response, but will have to measure up the flanges.

Stock is 60mm. Plazmaman recommended a 72mm TB, saying that an 80mm or 90mm (50%) increase in size would lose some of the responsiveness.

This may all be a sales pitch from them to sell a part, but if there's merit in what they say then I don't see the harm in trying to find a cheaper alternative that might cost $200 (incl machining an adapter plate) instead of $500.

Hmm interesting, they recommended me the 80mm one for my setup.

Roy, how on earth are you going to make something like that fit?

HAHAHA Just put your cooler piping in the vice and sqaush it to size :) Simple :)

    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same. 
    • I have an elite 2500 running an adapter harness on an rb25de neo r34. I took the butterfly out and removed all that junk. But I also went Plus+t at the same time. The butterfly thing works in reverse to the boost solenoid on the Gtt if that makes sense
    • yeh they are 235/45/17 up front and 255/40/17 in the rears. I still didn't get my answer if i can fit a 18x9 up front. I want to get 4 of this and see if they will fit before committing as they didn't see an 18x8 as an option but there is a 18x9.5 also.   Enkei RS05-RR 18x9 35mm ET 5x114.3 75.0 Bore Matte Gunmetal Wheel
