Hey Guys A Coulpe Of Questions On The Greedy Plenum On R33 Gtst.

Can You Still Bolt Up The Standard Idle Control Solenoid That Usually Sits On The Back Of The Standard Manifold?

What Throttle Body Bolts Up To These Plenums Usually ? Seeing As Though They Sell A Adaptor Kit To Fit The Standard Throttle Body On It.

Any Replies Would Be Appreciated.

have you seen it flow more? at what power level does it flow more.

unless your at a few hundred rwkw then its not deemed a "good" upgrade given the gains you get which are pretty much none over standard, infact i think its been show to be a bit worse. shortening the piping doesnt do much either

i mean im certainly not an expert, far from it in fact, i just recall various aftermarket plenums vs stock and the stocker didnt prove to be a restriction and was fine for some pretty high power levels and it was said that you could spend the $1000 odd ish on stuff that would actualyl gain power and have more benefit than 0kw power gain and less piping

Yeah that's cool people don't always agree. I know that changing the plenum on an RB20 does more harm than good because of the long runners etc but on the R33 it can be a good upgrade. However I wouldn't make it a priority unless I really needed to and as you said it probably won't give you any gain until you are making a lot of power and I have seen the stock plenum perform fine on cars making 350bhp. It does look nice in the engine bay though :P

i also got a plenum even though i read SK's post in that UAS one about its not worth the money for the gains or lack of, and the rest of it..and i strongly believe his words in that there is no need to change the intake mani unless your changing internals to suit extra capacity...i chose to get one to simply remove the 2 metres of piping i have from fmic to throttle body and to unclutter the p.s of the bay as i need the room for intake piping, afm and pod to help my idle problem without a EIDS thingy from HKS. It looks nicer and wont be a pain in the ass to change plugs or check packs and check base timing etc etc....

Up to 300 rwkw it is a perfectly legitimate reason to buy a Greddy plenum just for looks, as long as you don't kid yourself that you did it for any other reason.:)

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
