Hi Everyone,

Does anyone have any info/suggestions with regards to the standard intake plenum I have on my R33 GTS-T with the piping running over the motor to the throttle body.

Which of the following options would be best?

1) Aftermarket plenum (e.g. Greddy). I know that I can get one delivered for just over $1000

2) GTR plenum...is this possible? if so what other parts would need changing to make it fit? What would the cost be?

3) Have the throttle body location moved on the standard plenum? Is this possible? What would the cost be?

...or is the standard plenum fine as is running the piping over the engine from the front mount and spend the money on something else? I am looking at getting power up to 300rwkw, and thought that the heat caused by running the piping over the motor would not be as good as having the piping running straight up to the throttle body like the GTR.

Any info/help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Did you try searching the forum?

I think sydneykid mentioned the stock plenum was good to a specific power figure but I can't recall the figure.

Ed, after a bit of searching with different search criteria, I came across the thread you were mentioning. Sydney kid mentions the standard plenum can cope with up to 450hp without restriction...not sure if this is crank or atw.

So I can definitely forget the aftermarket plenum and stick with standard. :D spend the money on other things for the car instead.

What about the piping? Will the piping to the standard throttle body position get in the way of a high mount GT35R?

The 180 degree bend at the throttle body style of pipework is the go.

I have a picture of a car fitted with the 180 degree pipework and a high mount, but this new forum is taking some time to get used to.

:D cheers :P

Hey SK, thanks for the pic...looks like it should shorten the pipe a fair bit and looks good to. Was that custom piping made by anyone in particular?

Thanks,

JB

side note, you dont need a GT35 to make 300.. its overkill.  :)

I was also looking at a GT30R with a .82 A/R...may still go for this instead of the 35R. ;) cant wait to start working on it all but will have to wait another year. Then I will give it some attention. :)

Just letting you know thats a Hypertune/Performance manufacturing piping kit.

They have moved from inside the same building as where plazmaman is, but they are now down at Tarin Point.

They will also be doing a plenum for the RB25 very shortly wich replaces the inlet runners.

These are the guys that did all our piping on our GTR.

Give then a call

    • cool car to be working on, but I think you need some really old school help on this one
    • Hey, I understand this is a skyline forum but I was hoping someone might be able to help me out here. Got an ‘84 M10 Prairie with an E15S that I’m trying to get running again after replacing a head gasket. I’m having some struggles with vacuum lines after replacing a couple perished ones. They’re all set up like in the diagram I’ve attached. I’ve tried starting the motor and my carb backfires a bit but no luck getting it to run.      Theres a 2nd port on the back of the carb that isn’t mentioned in the diagrams, right next to what I believe would be the idle screw (sorry I’m no good with carbs) - should this be attached to any lines?   any help would be greatly appreciated, I’m sick of pulling my hair out trying to figure this thing out 🤝🏼
    • If the current relationship is between the diff and the speedo, then no, you will not need a speed sensor in that hole in the gearbox. If the car were an R33 GTST, or an R34 GT-T, then it would need a speed sensor in there. Because that's what those cars have/need. If the car were an R32, then it will need a cable drive cobbled together from a Navara speedo drive, because R32s can't handle an electronic speed signal to the speedo.
    • Just to follow up on this.  Will the speedo work with this? Like to have plugged speed sensor on this trans and still using one on diff from N/A (open) diff?
