So I have just bought another r33 liner series 2 and I'd soon like to upgrade the factory plenum to a front facing greddy style. I'm a cnc machinist and have the skills and access to machines to make most adaptors that I think I'd need to change the plenum whith out having to do any aftermarket upgrades such as afm and computer. Just for the moment id like to keep the stock computer running. So my questions are what things will I find that need to be changed or replaced when changing my plenum. Eg throttle body, injectors / rail, bov etc.

For the moment the main purpose is so I can setup a fmic without having the stupid crossover piping that is mostly required when doing a fmic. I don't want to use one of those fmic that have both pipes on the passenger side like factory.

I like mine because it tidies up the bay so much. Not sure about with a stock computer. It would possibly be either unsafe or too rich and run like a pig anyway. Theres also the question of leaning out the back 2 cylinders. Im not saying it does or doesnt happen but ive got my link g4 adding a bit more fuel to cyls 5 and 6

There is a huge thread about installing one and what you will need. Think it is in the forced induction section anyway

I ran a greddy copy with a standard ecu no problems at all... Even had it on the dyno to do a power run before any major power modifications were started and all stats were sweet as far as I could tell. I'm no tuner tho by any means so don't take my words as the be all and end all haha I'm just saying I had no problems running one with standard ecu. My car had a 3 inch exhaust and front mount as well at the time...

Proven to make siet all gains with low to mild powered RB motors..

That RB20 Propaganda fella Roy proved it on the dyno.. save money, buy awesome turbo, buy awesome injectors, buy awesome ECU and rip skids

Fair call if you think it's pointless but I'm keen to tidy up the engine bay also. If an adapter was used for the factory throttle body, what else is needed? Do the injectors fit? What about the fuel rail? I saw something about std injectors needed a bigger o-ring to fit in the plenum properly. I want to know what I'm in for if and when I buy the stuff. If anyone can show a link to these threads as I'd like to read up on them a bit

Thanks guys

Injectors and rail fit fine, minor mods need to be made to the rail piping in some cases

I told you, there is a thread on here somewhere that shows you everything you need to do. Very in depth, and very detailed

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
