Damn, that is a huge increase, NismoGTSX. I might have to reconsider it. I'd talked myself out of it, but this is good to hear. Have you got any more details of your mods?

dAVE:

I didn't notice your comment to me about Merli. Thanks for the tip. I've just spoken to him about it actually.

Nahh - its got a fair bit more than 300... Probably more like 330... It makes 300 by 5000rpm, and then broke traction past 5500rpm, so I'm not sure of it's exact figures yet. It revs to 7500....

As for how quick down the track... Not sure if I'm in a hurry to run it... I've spent god knows how much money on it to get it to this stage, and it's suspension setup is for track work...

To run a decent time, I'd have to fit an auto box, and some sicks, plus some front runners, and that's money I'd rather not have to spend...

When I end up selling it, I might spend the $$$ just so I have the slips for 10 seconds when I sell it.

BTW - MIC33R - I'm not saying that the plenum's a complete waste of money... I'm saying that for that sort of $$$ outlay, you could spend it better :)

I have a custom plenum on my car, but i cannot really quantify the results of just the plenum, as I did alot of mods all at the same time. It definitly helps reducing the length of pipework but at my level (205rwkw) I don't think it makes a noticable difference. Another thing you have to factor in is alot of custom plenums remove the factory idle sensors, etc from the plenum which then requires a full computer.

Pics of my plenum are here www.mfx.com.au/team/prgen.jpg

Details on moy mods are here http://www.mfx.com.au/team/pages/prg.htm

Darren at Mood Motorsports made my plenum, which I believe is a much better design than the Sub-Zero item due to the tapered design. The Sub Zero one to me looks as if it favours the first few cylinders, and would starve the last few.

If you give Mood Motorsports your manifold, they will make the polished aluminium plenum for $850. He also did my pipework and I/C for $2000. I can't speak highly enough of his work, it is excellent.

Just tell him that Jeff from MFX recommended him.

    • If I had "perfect R33 GTR" kinda money I would have bought one of the crazy expensive low mileage HJA cars, but I am sadly not that wealthy. I already picked this car out of various Skylines for sale locally, most of which were worse in some way. Only a few cars were actually better but also more expensive. In terms of buying a motor locally, I at least have the option to inspect it myself and juding the seller as a person, and used or freshly rebuilt engines that some people sell are actually ok price-wise. I knew the car was going to require work, but shit piled up real fast and I haven't even driven 1000km yet as the turbo started oiling like a bitch within a few weeks after I got the car.   I assume it wasn't actually me who cracked it, though there is no way to know when that crack formed and if the previous owner even knew it was there. Buying another 05U Block can be a gamble, yeah, but the cheapest PRP cast block is like twice or more money-wise, and billet is 3 or 3 times as much. For now I am most likely just keeping the current engine, as a rebuild or engine swap isn't happening right now. But I am seriously considering buying a second engine and selling mine in return. Might be a sweet deal at the end.
    • Hi all. I need some help buying the correct size banjo bolts for my 2860 turbos. Because whoever installed them tore up the original part, I ordered new ones of this kind, because I just figured these were the most leak-resistant option as I already had trouble with a shitty braided line. I need to know the thread size of the smaller left hole, that is the turbo oil feed connection. I found out so far that the turbo oil inlet apparently has a 7/16"-24 thread, but I cannot find any listing or description of the thread size on this line. I do not have the original bolts. I tried using the bolts that were in the turbos (the ones that were mounted with the shitty braided line) but they sit very loosely so they can't be the right thread. Means either these bolts are the wrong ones (how do they fit the turbo then? no clue) or the wraparound-lines have a different thread than the turbo oil feed itself. Help is appreciated, asking Nissan directly is obviously not going to work.
    • EDIT: PSA to whoever stumbles upon this thread. It is in fact a crack in the block that caused this concern. Just letting you know. In my case, a few cm long hairline crack going horizontally above the turbo oil feed. Classic RB shit I guess
    • Might as well pop in some cams, head gasket, head studs, and a flex sensor. Full send.
