Kym,

If it takes longer than a six pack then give us a call and me and Macka willl put a cartons worth of hours into gapping your plugs. 2 beers to change, 10 beers to discuus how well we did the job.

If it's too much hassle, then buy a Greddy manifold, you can then re-gap them in 15mins, only cost $1500.

Hi Hicks,

I know about 5 different people that will make custom plenum's for you, just depends on what you want, and how much your willing to pay. Some of the custom jobs look excellent, and will be significantly cheaper than mine.

Hard to beat $1400AUS tho for the fantastic quality of the g-reddy plenum. Taka's pricing.

The G-Reddy plenum is very well designed, but that is not to say that you can't have something better than factory for a cheaper price. The plenum is going to provide very little in way of top end power if your still using the factory turbo. It does provide extra torque, and due to less piping the pressure drop is minimised. The major benefits in terms of power is when using a larger turbo, as the factory manifold is quite restrictive.

The G-Reddy plenum has alot of aditional metal left for port matching if you want to maximise the flow.

I thought the 90mm throttle body caused some bottom end problems (idle at over 1000rpm etc), this could be fixed by machining up some sleaves to fit inside the throttle body to act as a choke sleave does on webber IDA carby's.

Rev210,

Yes the larger throttle body does cause it to idle a bit higher, but this is of little concern, it still provides very good throttle response so I won't bother to adjust it. The Infiniti throttle body is a direct bolt on for the Greddy plenum, therefore this would provide a better idle for the car, but they are still quite difficult to find.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
