Hi i am about to take out the standard plenum to update some old heater hoses under it. In doing so I thought it might be a good idea in replacing it. Will going to a greddy plenum improve my engine at all?

Lol..Yes I have 310 rwkw but will be a lot more later.. as the car will also be getting a re-tune with some cam gears . Will it be worth getting the greddy plenum?

do it and find out.. then when you realize you wasted all this money on something not needed you will regret buying a skyline and modifying it, then you will sell it to pursue a new career so you can afford such lavish purchases. Perhaps you will start in Administration where you will discover a website called google.. Google will amaze you through the use of its tool called a search function. Having discovered this search function you will find it on more and more places around the great world wide web.

This lust for discovery will inevitably lead you back to SAU where you will discover it too has a search function. This will then spark your memory to how it all began and will search for this exact question and discover this shit has been covered a million times before and rediscover this comment..

TL;DR? use the search function for your shit hole questions for the love of god

Just googled tldr. The explanation was too long. Can someone dot point it for me?

Also what oil do you guys use?

How much power will I make on 10psi?

How do I remove the carbon cannister?

I'm getting bad economy, how do I fix it?

How much power will an intercooler give me?

Just installed an ebc and it's not working, any help?

Etc

Thanks for your kind and constructive advice Mr aggro.. I don't get that asking a question on a forum is so wrong.. lol I'm sorry that you know everything. . Like I've said in a different post products evolve different products get released just because it's been asked before doesn't mean there are not different thoughts on the matter. Please correct me if I'm wrong .. post a link here that shows a clear discussion on the matter that is current.. When you do I will apologie for inconveniencing any member here that read my question and was that bothered by it they proceeded to write an essay on why it was so disturbing to them ...

Post of the year

If you are really after the constructive and thought out help of others, to make your life easier and not waste money, at least take the time to write your question and fill out as much info as possible.

Your initial post is as good as useless.

Specifying more power later is useless.

Not specifying a rough budget is not helpful.

Not specifying the cars use is not helpful.

Etc.

Right.. so you would prefer I state everything it W's just a generic question if need be I can he specific but isn't that part of having a discussion? Isn't that the point of a forum. . ??

if it's a general question then put it in the same thread as your other general questions and it will save everyone looking and thinking "oh not this guy again"

    • All the schemas I can see, indicate your typical setup of ATF 'cooler' (read: heat exchanger) in the bottom radiator tank..ie; https://nissan.epc-data.com/stagea/wgnc34/5413-rb25det/engine/214/ ...but I can prattle on a bit here. These trannies have a thermistor in the sump ~ the TCU reads this and 1. bumps the line pressure up when the ATF is 'cold' and 2. prevents the TC lockup clutch from operating, until the ATF comes up to minimum operating temp (keeps the ATF 'churning' through the TC so it heats up quicker) -- trigger point is around 55C. In these conditions, the engine coolant temperature rises faster than the ATF temperature, and also helps heat the ATF up, which is why it's best to think of the in radiator tank setup as a heat exchanger ; the heat can flow in both directions... ...with these trannies, the 'hot' ATF comes out the front banjo bolt, flows through the cooler/heat exchanger, and returns to the box  via the rear banjo bolt. This gets a mention, due to the wildly different opinions wrt running auto trans fluid coolers ~ do you bypass the in radiator tank altogether, or put the cooler inline with the in radiator tank system...and then, do you put the additional cooler before of after the in radiator tank system?... ....fact is the nominal engine operating temp (roughly 75C), happens to be the ideal temperature for the ATF used in these trannies as well (no surprises there), so for the in radiator tank system to actually 'cool' the ATF, the ATF temp has to be hotter than that...lets say 100C -- you've got 25C of 'excess' heat, (slowly) pumping into the 75C coolant. This part of the equation changes drastically, when you've got 100C ATF flowing through an air cooled radiator ; you can move a lot more excess heat, faster ~ it is possible to cool the ATF 'too much' as it were...(climate matters a lot)... ...in an 'ideal' setup, what you're really trying to control here, is flash heating of the ATF, primarily produced by the TC interface. In a perfect world, wrt auto trans oil cooling, you want a dedicated trans cooler with builtin thermostatic valving - they exist. These should be run inline and before the in radiator tank system ~ when 'cold' the valving bypasses the fin stack, allowing the ATF to flow direct to the in radiator tank heat exchanger, so it works 'as intended' with helping heat the ATF up. When 'hot' (iirc it was 50C threshold), the valving shuts forcing the ATF through the cooler fin stack, and onto the in radiator tank heat exchanger...and you sort of think of it as a 'thermal conditioner' of sorts...ie; if you did cool your ATF down to 65C, the coolant will add a little heat, otherwise it works as intended... ...the 'hot' ATF coming from the front bango bolt, is instantiated from the TC when in use, so all/any flash heated oil, flows to the fluid-to-air cooler first, and because of the greater heat differential, you can get rid of this heat fast. Just how big (BTU/h) this cooler needs to be to effectively dissipate this TC flash heat, is the charm...too many variables to discuss here, but I just wanted to point out the nitty-gritty of automatic trans fluid coolers ~ they're a different beastie to what most ppl think of when considering an 'oil cooler'... /3.5cents   
    • Been a busy but productive day. Axle and hubs acquired. All fitted up after a bit of modifying. Need to sort out wider mudguards and running light reflector covers but other than that the trailer is gooood to go !!
    • Selling a SMIC for a Nissan Stagea C34 Series 2 and the pipe from the intercooler to inlet. (I believe it is the same R34 GTT, please correct me if I'm wrong) Price: $50? I dont have a photo of the big black pipe that goes from SMIC outlet to throttle body.
    • So the original radiator is leaking now. Looking at getting a fully aluminium one next. Am I correct in saying that the Series 2 Auto Stageas have a separate trans cooler from factory (located in between the rad and intercooler in my previous post/message).   Currently looking at Fenix $460, Blitz $700, GReddy $800, and KoyoRad $740. What are everyones thought on Fenix ( ive read a few comments saying theyre cheap Chinese rebrands etc and how their build quality is... well.. chinese...)  compared to the others? Worth the extra couple hundies?
