Eoi. R33/34 Rb25 Greddy Knockoff Inlet Manifold Possibly $180ea

[Al]

Ask him to take some more hi-res pics of a plenum in stock. Those pics on ebay are crap and do not show much detail. Pics hide alot of faults, but at least we have a better idea

[jeffworld2]

looks like a good deal to me, but has anyone tried one? he must have sold them to somebody

[Adriano]

I think the first one went on ebay the othe day, emailed and he said he would send some better pics. PS i think these two plenums are exactly the same, ill email autotechnica again and see if they think they will be able to beat this price, thats if they get back to me.

[jeffworld2]

i thought so too when i saw it, but if they are both sposed to be same quality as the greddy unit, then they ought to look pretty similar. Now we have some market competition on an already well-priced product. Good stuff

[REDMAN8]

Actually I was the first one to buy this manifold. And jumped on here to let you all know.

I recieved if today.But I bought mine for 450 BUY IT NOW + 50 postage.(hence 500 delivered)

The quality is pretty good.Not in the same quality of finished product as Greddy but pretty good.

A few casting dags in between the runners and the gasket surface is not machined.My best mate

is an ex-foundry mould maker and he's had a look this arvo and is pretty impressed.Just needs a little chean up and a polish. I'm happy.Another $100 for a polish and it's still less than 1/2 the price of the Greddy.Looks like the same dimensions as my Greddy.Internally and externally.Will keep you posted on performance.Will run it std,ported and extrude honded.

Redman8: Did you buy thid for your GTR? If so, WHY?

[Adriano]

Received an enail from autotechnica today, saying that they could match the price of $319 + postage, although they tell me that they need an adapter to fit the standard throttle body, which they sell(but didn't give me a price)They should be ready late october, what do you guys think, who do we want to supply them(im not fussed)I could get them milled for about $40 ea...Could also get them polished for about $100(cant be sure on price until seen)

[dano4127]

big yes from me!

Redman8: Did you buy thid for your GTR? If so, WHY?

Redman8 sounds tops

You copied my rims , get them powder coated in "Precious Steel Pearl", they would look awesome with the yellow paint.

[jeffworld2]

yeah im in for a manifold at that price or thereabouts, if by milling you mean the gasket surface then i'd get that done too, polish is a bit of a waste as i tend to close my bonnet lol. I don't mind waiting til next month, but if the ebay ones are as good as redman says, id be more inclined to get one of them. They are in stock i assume, autotechnica have dicked us around too much in my opinion.

[Abo Bob]

Interesting that the ebay one says R32, R33, R34 but R34 RB25 has different stud pattern so is there a seperate one or does he not realise this maybe?

[Adriano]

I have an r34 rb25 head at home, i can do some measurements to confirm if they are the same bolt pattern or not?

[Abo Bob]

Not only would I appreciate it but plenty of other R34 owners would too.

[NV N01]

I'm for whoever can get them to us faster?

If the quality is the same and the prices are the same, just get them from whoever is ready to supply..

Personally, I think Autotechnica shouldn't even be considered anymore considering how long the've had and still haven't produced a thing besides a lot of stories?
