I would be sticking with the stock rb26 plenum, there's nothing wrong with them at all.

Nismo make an aftermarket one which is $$$ and gives like 1% better flow or something...

I measured the outside temps on the exhaust manifold across all 6 cylinders on the dyno before and after adding my Nismo plenum. Admittedly not 100% accurate but certainly enough to warrant putting this on.

How did you determine on your GT-R if this was a worthwhile upgrade??

What were the results/temps, Gav?

I'd be reckoning that the rear 2 cylinders were running a few degrees hotter due to then running leaner.

Running leaner because the stock plenum ends up flowing more air through the rear 2 runners than the rest.

So you put the two highest flowing injectors into #6 & #5, tune to suit and be happy with a stock plenum and spend $2000 on hookers and booze :)

Or just trim the injectors to give perfect egt and be with hookers while the tuner is tuning

What is the car used for? As others have said, the std inlet seems to be a pretty good thing. But at these power levels I am not aware of too many people doing credible back to back comparisons with the likes of Hypertune, Greddy, Nismo etc etc. If I was going to change I would go Greddy if I had over 400rwkws

I know 3 cars that run one...admittedly two of those were from back around 2005 and tuning etc has come a fair ways since then. they were quick cars, one of them a 9 second car from Japan that only saw street duties so no dragstrip fan fare here in Aus as the owner kept to himself and just enjoyed it..but they worked real well on those two cars and a friends R34 runs one and it is an animal. I have been driving it a fair bit the past 5 months and frankly for a 400awkws 2530 powered car it is pretty impressive. I have no idea how much of its performance can be credited to the plenum, but seat of the pants tells me its quicker then other 2.6L 2530 cars I have been in.

But my comment is pretty unsubstantiated seat of pants claim

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
