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.

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
