Very nice, the only thing that let's it down is the quality of the paint job on the nismo plenum around the badge

yeah, it's something I've been meaning to correct.

Now you have mentioned it I will get onto it :)

I would replace and realign that garden hose with some nice black breather hose to the can as well.

As well as a good CAI and filter system to gain some easy ponies and keep the constabulary happyish.

good point re: black breather hose. Stealth is a nicer look

Yeah, I will get onto a CAI when my bank account lets me lol

Thanks ant, the plenum is wrinkle red and the turbo inlet/outlet pipes are wrinkle black. It's going into my engine bay which is bayside blue so it should give a nice contrast. I always liked the way Subaru did it on the old sti's and the way Ferrari does it on a lot of their engines. On top of that I have 3 stock plenums, so one is wrinkle red, one polished and one I paint stripped to the raw cast finish. So I can play mix and match if needs be.

Actually found one, I think piggaz might have a similar setup along with a few others

I know this car - its a racepace built RB28 from an R34 GTR

The wrinkle is on that is actaully custom and looks really nice

Storm trooper look

Still think that wrinkle black plennum rocks!

Red wrinkle is also nice but better only when everthing elese is also red wrinkle finished like this

Heh yeah I read tango matt's whole build thread many years ago and re read it a few times. Plus the copy of hpi with his gtr in it is one of my favorites.

Yeah those nismo engines do look great, I've got a ton of pictures of them with various different ways they finish the inlet plenum and covers. Some painted, some polished, some raw. To me they all look good, even yours in black I like although I would have left it cast or polished it to match your intake pipes better. I like the fact we all do things differently and have our own personal taste that's what makes us individuals after all.

I have a second rb26 that I've prepped the covers and a mate has just done in candy apple red, after that I will probably end up getting another set of covers and doing in wrinkle red as well. I like to have options to mix and match depending on what mood I'm in lol. If and when I have the dough I'd like to get the nismo inlet plenum and turbo outlet pipes too.

    • I mean, I can confirm the TPS is at 100%.... I can confirm when we installed the TB and setup the cable that the TB was indeed fully open at max pedal travel.. the same 'curve' (WRT MAP vs MAP) existed with the previous setup/TB/manifold as well... No, we did not do a run with no intake connected. I would love to go back in time to do such a run to rule out the intake. It would have also been good to do a run with the airbox lid off. There's a test there where increased IAT vs more available air could be a positive tradeoff. I remember taking the lid off my R34 Turbo setup back in the day and noticing a monster increase, even if IAT's did go up. Could be similar. Hard to test unless I find a very deserted road. 
    • That's actually encouraging to be honest. my motor was rebuild many years ago but it's probably done less than 30,000kms and fucc all limiter or drift, majority street / drag / roll racing. It'll be fine 💪🏼 I don't even have lines or a can for the cam breathers installed yet, there is zero oil residue or splatter on or around them, it drives beautifully so it seems healthy. Just a ticky lifter, yet they're almost brand new oem genuine Nissan and haven't done many kms at all...
    • Have you confirmed the throttle body goes to WOT (and stays there) during the run?
    • I'm having a problem. I think it was mentioned above somewhere but can't see it.  I'm stuck in the cycle of, sand, filler, low spot again, put filler, sand, low spot again, now i put filler again and a thicker portion which seems to have helped but I got low spots in other areas. In the image. Circled in red thats where the original low spot was and the shape is the same as the red out line. I've more or less fixed that (still low spot up the top but now I have low spots where the green circled part is.  Is likely the issue that I didn't start with a course sand paper? I sanded the filler with 240 to reduce the risk of not going to far but maybe the issue is that I'm only taking off enough material to remove some of the filler but not the high spots. I now started sanding with 120 and I think I'm seeing a difference. I did fix one dent the other 2 are f**ked and seems like I made another low spot which is indicated by the furthest green circle on the left handside. Any thoughts and solutions?   Also second image. All of these rock chips, can they be filled in with primer or do i need to fill them all with filler/putty? So many rock chips on mine lol.
    • Well, I had an Edward Lee's special edition odo windback car/motor with a RB25DET S2 and I put down 372kW with a good amount of track abuse for 1.5 years before the ring lands decided it didn't want to stick around anymore 🥲 But probably didn't help I kept on smashing try limiter on the track and a few skid pans.
