reading a few threads on this i havnt quite come to a conclusion...

is it a good worthwhile mod? can it be trusted?

basically the only reason i'm thinking this is i wouldnt mind the shorter pipework (and a little extra response would be nice) but i dont want to sacrifice reliablity, i have a teensy bit of cash to maybe spend on the car and this is quite a cheap thing to do.

opinions?

thanks for info boys

yeah i just got 250 smackers for birthday and just wondering what cheap options are out there for a little more fun

might have found something though.. think rice

One word - "Hookers"

the stock plenum is fine for around 500hp or thereabouts. there are problaby 5 thread covering stock plenum vs front custom hack vs greddy vs china ones etc. was covered recently. spend the money on something that makes the car go faster. shortening the pipes wont affect flow and make it "respond" quicker. a lot of people believe this, it wont do shit. buy a boost controller or cams or cam gear or fuel pump or z32 or fuel rail or fuel regulator or surge tank or catch can etc

What most people do is just have a 120 degree bend going from the inlet mainifold and around down under the headlight to the cooler. If i can find the photo i have seen i will post it up. Then again what everyone else has said, just save the cash for a real decent plenum or take it to an engineering guy and ask him what he thinks, the hardest thing will be getting equal flow down all the runners.

Good Luck hope this helps!

    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
    • Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.
    • Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
