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!

    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.  
    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • 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.
