$600 would be about right if you were getting in/ex cam gears, and one cam. I would have thought $600 is sexcellent if you're getting both cams!

On Nengun at the moment you can get a Trust plenum for around $920, seeing as the yen is so shite against the dollar at the moment. So that's $920 plus shipping plus a throttle body, which I have no idea on cost.

on ozperformance you can get a JD? custom plenum for 650, then prb find a xf,xe throttle body for 50+, thats what i was looking at doing when upgrading.

as for cams not sure on performance gains when going for bang for ya buck.

still most of the time it can be worth paying that little extra it get proven parts

$1300 is ok (even better if it come with throttlebody) UPI have them for 1400.

I think for the quality and 'bot on' ease of installation, you cant really go past it. I have yet to see an 'australian made' plenum for under $2000 that i would put on my car.

greenline have Trust Surge Tank (intake plenum) for Aus$986.276 plus post and import duties. http://www.greenline.jp

dude,you just have to be carefull about the lift and duration of the cams. They may not fit without some head modification. I 'think' (please dont quote me) that anythin over 9.0 lift will need re-shimming.

Its a great price if you get cams and gears as well.

2 cams for $600 new? That is cheaper than HKS sell them for direct.

$1300 for greddy plenum and adaptor is also a very good price. I have seen them for up to 2K.

Do not buy aust made, but a jap one that comes with all the bits and bolts up. Its a proven product with thousands of $ in R&D. I went aust made and just ended up having to buy another (greddy) one - so I wasted the cost of the plenum plus the added expense of fitting (and finding all the extra bits) and pipework. As mentioned, you will not find a plenum of the quality and fit in aust for anywhere near as cheap as the trust one.

Oh, and if there is anyone out there who wants a hills plenum and ford throttle body (with adaptor for TPS), pm me:)

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
