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.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
