really depends on what you're willing to spend...

$300 or so will be a greddy copy. there is a trader on here (vulture motorsport I THINK) that I can vouch for. the biggest problem with copies has always been the edgeing and the space between the water galleries and the air intakes. The vulture plenums are just fine. I filed down the edges a tiny bit because there was a slight lip on them and I'm anal. Really not necessary.

above that, $500+ or so, I would go plazmaman. the design has had a lot of time put into it to work well with the tuned length runners as standard. The ONLY reason I didn't do it was because I thought the Greddy plenum looked better, that's all! It's proven itself time and time again, not a waste of money in any sense.

$+++ I would choose Hyertune. These run on all the finest cars, high power or not. Just looking at them you can tell they have the best entry angle, are super high quality and have great volume. They look great too! But price is easily in the 4 digits. Unless you're chasing every tiny piece of performance, not completely necessary...

There is also a user on here, can't think of his name right now (I think it starts with an 'S' like SL33PY or something, he makes somewhat custome CNC plenums, very good quality), but if it is custom you really need then I would ask him...

Hope this helped!

i have a hypertune manifold sitting in my garage thats going on my r34 and it is amazing.

ive seen the greddy, plazmaman and hypertune all next to each other and in terms of looks its hypertune all the way.

however in saying that hypertune dont make manifolds for gtst's only gtr's i believe so go the plazmaman $1000 and its done.

    • I’m interested in the carbon diffuser fins and Toshiba MFD screen replacement if they’re still available.
    • @GTSBoy yeah i know it was not the "great" idea but it is and option...but i think i will stay on no BoV rather then trying to make it work with "half" this and that. But that GReddy FV2 is cool...i like that you can make it like stock if you want (and have/make the custom pipes) For other thanks! it was alot of information. But for the sound...a dont rly "like" both of them...specialy if they are loud...but if i "must" choose i would rather have little whooosh rather than sutututu with no BoV....BUT that is what is i gonna get. So for the all info i gather. In my case:  No BoV is not that bad cuz it is stock...and iam used to put N/clutch right after rpms are around 1000 so it should be ok...just need to avoid "big" drops. But i do not have the engine in the car so i do not really know how "bad" or good it is. But as i had that little test drive it looked ok. The atmo BoV should be worse car would dump to much fuel specialy between the shifts...so without proper tune/ECU i dont want that. BUT with that...car should drive ok with no problems right? (i do like there is less piping wih this solution) 🙂 
    • Usually an RB20 won't stay in closed loop idle anyway. The O2 sensor gets too cold, stops swinging.
    • They aren't, but it depends on what interests you about an R32-R34. If it's the front engine I6 turbo that tunes well with a manual transmission an E92 335i 6MT is so incredibly cheap. You can get a super clean one for 20-25k USD tops. Put an LSD in it, tune it, have fun with it. If it's the general idea of AWD + turbo and a manual transmission the 996 Turbo is absolutely much more expensive, it's less practical but it's also basically a complete track-ready car from the factory. At least the Mezger doesn't have heaps of oil control issues. And in the US the 996 Turbo and R33 GTR are roughly the same price these days. 996 maybe a bit more now that the hype has abated for old Skylines here.
    • these are not the same
