I have a situation where i'm having similar packaging issues. The plenum i'm likely to use is the one from RIPS

They do this one for around the $1400NZ mark:

i asked Rob some time ago and he said the plenums come :

The kit comes with plenim, enlarged throttle body, throttle cable, water pipe kit,all fittings for brake booster, map sensor, boost guage etc. All your original water temp senders etc go straight on. The tps wires need extending to go to the relocated throttle body.

The original idle controler etc can be retained if you are still running a stock computer.

I can custom paint the plenim whatever colour you want.

I can do a complete kit, painted, shipped

The photo above is obviously a shot taken as he was making the plenum...ie not fully finished :)

Well in my case the car is travelling at 0km/hr and looks like it will continue to do so until I find a solution for the plenum.  

An aftermarket plenum at least gives me a chance of travelling at >0km/hr.

Why don't you use the standard one?:)

ok the pic of the insides of that plenum look like the top bit isnt welded up? :) im guessing thats a pic of everything hals way thru ? but well yer.. or wat is it 'you buy it you finish welding it'

I wouldnt be too sure. I would not be surprised if the internals look like that based on the fact that the aluminium welding is only fillet welds on the external surface, and has no penetration thru the wall thickness of the metal, (to the inside)

Sydney kid, he said, he cant use the orginal, it doesnt fit. This might mean the engine was mounted higher than it could have been, either way, it dont fit.

Roy, you can see light coming thru on that pic, Id say its not finished. Otherwise even if it is welded up, and just a bit messy, light should not get thru.

bahahhaha

you people saying its meant to be like that make me laugh... if light gets thru then she aint air tight and i highly doubt they'd sell them... so OBVIOUSLY its a work in progress pic! geez

and SK: he said due packaging issues he cannot fit the stock plenum.. So its not going in a skyline.. or of it is... a reeealy old one

Yeh, i suppose. Its possible thats light...or a reflection form the flash photography picking up an edge. I have circled what i thought could be a bit of penetration from the weld, or again it could simply be a tack...:confused:

Like i said, i dont know, but if i was paying the money, i wouldnt be assuming that its an incomplete manifold, and what im buying will be different. id confirm it with him:)

Close. It's actually a mid 60's holden....and it's tight fit.

Height is probably not so much of an issue as ic pipework.

    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.
