The throttle body cable I'm having problems with. Any tips, also I bought one of these plenums with 80mm throttle body if that changes anything.

Hi,

The throttle cable should have enough slack - have you tried not using the bracket included with the adaptor?

In regards to the TB, is it not closing fully because the cable restricts it or does it get stuck? Also, do you have the 80mm TB with our logo etched on it or is the earlier version?

Hey Brendan,

You mentioned that you also have a plain cast alloy version (not polished or electroplated) which would suit me nicely .. how much cheaper are these?

Thanks,

Hey brendan, do you know if these manifolds will fit a R32 RB25DE head? using this head with a RB30 bottom end with a phat turbo hanging off the side and how much is the complete kit (plus postage)with adaptor for standard TB (NOT polished) to 6056 please?

Hi,

These won't suit the RB20DE - sorry.

An entire kit to suit the R333 RB25DET in plain cast finish is $495 incl. delivery. This comes with the TB adaptor as well.

Brendan please re read my question above^^^ , will your Manifold fit a R32 RB25DE (head only, to go on a RB30 bottom end)? i know it wont fit a RB20DE, smaller ports etc to a 25DET

regards Steve

Sorry misread that question.

Same story with the RB25DE different bolt pattern from what I have been told to the Turbo version so it would not fit.

Have checked with my mate at nissan and he has sent me some pics of both 32 and 33 manifolds, the gasket on both have the same part # but as i have both motor types at home i will check/swap and see if there is any fitting issues and take it from there

Hi,

If you can do that it would be great, as you are the second person that has told me that the gasket part numbers are the same for both so technically it should fit.

Please let me and everyone else know.

ive checked this with the engines i have at home, the RB25DE has far more common parts with the RB20DET than the RB25DET, ie top feed injectors, same stud pattern on the intake (albeit with slightly bigger ports on the DE) the RB25DET intake will NOT fit the RB25DE head . . .different bolt pattern- different size/shaped ports, only the water jackets line up! (can supply photos if you wish)Brendan- does your aftermarket manifold come with provisions for bolting up the idle air controls , brake booster vacuum port etc?

hi there, could you send me a pic of the plain cast aluminium plenum please, semi interested thumbsup.gif

Image sent cool.gif

The cast finish ones are proving to be very popular - plenty of bling bling chrome ones still in stock!

Hey mate just curious do you do these for the RB20DET aswell, got a motor coming for a track car would love a front facing manifold. Also does the wiring loom alow for the relocation of the throttle bodie? ie. TPS wiring length ect. Cheers. Nice looking manifolds btw ;)

Hey buddy,

You are about 1.5 months too early mate :D

We will be getting delivery of the same style plenum - front facing for the RB20DET in about 1.5-2 months time.

These plenums are a direct fit and will work with the original throttle body, not sure about loom will need to wait for it to come in.

- Brendan

Cheers mate well i shall have the engine in about a month so will be great timing :P Roughly the same price im guessing. Shall add some bling and performance to the track car :) not to mention simplifying plug changes :)

    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
