basically i bought a hole bunch of goodies, one of which is a gtr plenum, where putting a spacer plate between my head and the plenum to match the studs etc, was wondering if this would bring on results as good or better than the greddy plenum for the rb25? I heard the gtr plenum has fins that guide the air into each cylinder as the greddy one doesnt. can anyone confirm this? I also got gtr fuel rail, injectors,reg and pump too. amongst lots of others

If you have already got the plenum, why don't you actually have a look at it to see if what you heard about it is true?

Also might want to search on this, there was a long thread on this topic a few months ago with pics of both plenums, and how they looked mounted up to the head.

Greaddy being the big company they are, I’m sure with out a doubt they have invested lots of time and research to get the best performance out of a RB25 plenum they why they made one for an RB25 and one for an RB26 because each motor has slightly difference workings.

Your best bet would be to sell the GTR plenum and invest in a RB25 Greaddy one if you really are that keen to change.

Yes Steve, but how do I get multiple throttles onto a Greddy plenum for my Rb25? Either way I'm going to have to do some fab. And I know the GTR plenum works well as a unit. Not sure about the capacity of the Greddy ones either. My car isn't being built for outright power but more so for low down torque/boost response.

Thank you for your opinion Steve. However I want multiple throttles and a front facing plenum that is not too large in capacity. Going for the Rb25 plenum and single throttle will reduce my throttle response not to mention the extra intercooler piping.

Oh and it doesn't matter what you are doing - you have to look good doing it.

Trust me - it will work and work fine. You can tune the car to suit so I am not worried. I have heard flow test results from both plenums and I'll take the GTR one thanks.

Have you ever heard of a GTR plenum flowing unevenly? No I don't think so.

Q for Steve - Yes Zoom magazine found that it lost power in most areas, but can you tell me how that RB20 test applies to my motor? 3lt with modified cylinder head and GT35 0.82 housing? I'll give you a hint - there is no comparison.

i dont think that an rb20 comparison would even be accurate to the rb25. Afew more cc's to play with on the 25 so hopefully it should work alittle better than the results of the rb20 one, however i still dont know anything about the results of the rb20 rb26 plenum thing.

I am with you lukevl, I am also planning on doing this to my RB25 in the next 6months and am not doubting that there will be an increase in the flow. I would almost put money on it and say that the GTR surge tank flows equaly if not more then the Greddy surge. The individual throttle bodies are also good for around a 1000hp, so you wont have to be worring about upgrading to a bigger single throttle body. Also I would rather spend $250 rather then $700+ on the greddy. When do you plan on doing this?.....I was going to make an adapter plate also, and wouldn't mind seeing how yours turns out.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
