I've been looking at pics of R33 and R34 RB25 DET manifolds and I'm curious to know if the R34 GTt lower manifold can be substituted for the R33 one .

Main reason is to fit the GTts top feed fuel rail and retain all the R33s plenum (plumbing and IAC valve) .

If the gasket that fits between the upper and lower manifold halves is the same it may work .

Fingers crossed cheers Adrian .

That's only because the IACV is a different shape, which bolts on to the top half of the manifold anyway.

Disco I reckon that they would be the same, if not very very similar. Cannot say for sure if they would be interchangeable though.

I haven't fitted a Neo rail to a 33 so I don't know how far out the rail bolts are, but I think it would be fairly easy to fit, seeing the aftermarket rails have room. The lower spacers are only available in kits, but they are so easy to make on a lathe. The spacing for the rail bolts should be easy enough to fix. If a conversion kit was made it wouldn't cost too much in bulk...

The early WRX owners have similar issues converting from side feed to top, but a few companies have worked it out and now they sell similar conversion kits to what you RB guys need.

It really isn't hard to fit aftermarket rail as Arts did, and i did with 1000cc xspurts, just some stuffing around but very doable. Just paint it black for stealth look.

Not impossible to get the Neo rail on but probably more stuffing around than its worth .

If you look at the R33 RB25 lower manifold the side feed rail mounts at three points sort of below the rail . The GTt one mounts above the rail on the cast in water passage . The 33 manifold has similar mounting points for something else but they are closer together than the GTTs ones .

You could weld mounting pads to the lower manifold if it was off but most don't feel like removing it and it becomes a unique part .

If keen you could cut and weld different mounts on the GTT fuel rail but it's cad plated and could peel off inside and leave bare steel which isn't flash .

EFI Hardware advertises an adapter system that screws into the front of aftermarket rails to take the Nissan style rail mount reg so if it fits ARTs rail that makes life very easy . I think the rail has to have "machined O ring port" threaded sections back and front for this adapter to fit but I don't know enough about aftermarket rails to know if they are all like this .

I can lay my hands on a Nismo adjustable FPR and I'd like to know if their bypass port is any larger than the standard one .

Yep. I saw that. I agree a black rail isn't too obvious and it's not that expensive, but the amount of those crappy fiveO injectors being sold shows how keen people are to keep the stock sidefeeds, no matter the consequences. I would love to be able to supply some easy way to swap over to top feeds for those guys that want a stealth upgrade. I like stealth options.

Yep I tend to think an aluminium rail in natural finish or matt/flat black would be alright provided the fittings aren't some silly nail polish colour .

It seems the -8AN (3/4 x16) parallel thread is a defacto standard and seals with an O ring on a bevel in the ends of most aftermarket rails .

I reckon if the EFI Hardware adapter parked a standard or equivalent reg on the front of a plain rail it shouldn't attract too much attention and at least put the return line where it's supposed to be .

So have you given up with the Neo rail Disco? Send it down so I can do a fit up on a 33, I might be able to work something out, anyone in Melbourne got a spare lower plenum?

Why not just put top feed rail and short injectors in your r33 intake? Just have to llose

... that's what I'm running in my drift pig? r33rb25det, aeroflow rail, ev14 1000's.

He wants the stock look as much as possible, stock reg at the least.

The Aeroflow rails are set up for mid (3/4) length injectors, using the short ones requires shortening the spacers which scares some people.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
