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

    • New or used transmission? Alignment will be the same with engine running or not. If new, i'm presuming it's a clutch release bearing size issue. If used, are you certain it's a CD009/A and not an older CD008 or less? They had known synchro issues. In my opinion, these transmissions should always be purchased new, they're dirt cheap and you avoid dealing with old revisions. 
    • I like your thinking! Looking forward to see how it turns out.
    • You've got yourself a good old game of have fun. That shit is annoying as hell to remove. Thankfully for you, yours is on metal, most of the stuff I take it off is plastic, so typically hear guns are out. I normally end up continually dragging my thumb with pressure over it to get it to peel up. Eucalyptus oil then works well for getting residue and last remnants off.   Edit: plastic scraper might be worth while too. One that'll dig into the foam tape, but not scratch the paint.
    • So I ride and race motorcycles for fun and have always used a van to transport my track weapons. Figured towing a racebike with a skyline would be different and if done right could - "look fully sik" or quite cool for us grown ups lol. Pic of yours truly on two wheels I also have a trailer already kitted out to transport my bikes ...and I have a spare set of rims that match the car that I was going to rebarrel to get deeper dish at some stage but they have just been gathering dust. Sooooooo it is only logical.... Stay tuned !!    
    • If by "flap disc" you meant "chocolate wheel".... then they are OK for getting off stubborn remnants. But not for stuff with bulk depth. If by "flap disc" you meant "abrasive paint f**ker"....
