HAHA i hope these are the ones hydro'ing engines as the water port was taped into the intake runner..... if nto all good, i prefer the finish of the genuine ones but hey who am i to judge if it works. :)
Business must be pretty bad these days hey? :) Tying to drum up some sales by inserting some doubt. :D

I have seen these used on two different cars, no problems, but slight modification needed to fit properly. :P

i'm also installing a greddy copy as we speak.. just can't decide weather to go to autobarn and shell out $120 for a tb converter or pick up a q45 style throttle body.. :D as for the coolant line to the turbo, i've run it around the front of the engine rb26 style.. a handy tip would be make sure you do all the plumbing between the aac valve and air regulator, as it's an incredible bitch to do once the manifold is on :glare: common sense would probably suggest this but ahh well, i'm special :happy:

also, what are people doing about relocating the air feed for the aac valve and blow off valve? just fabricating a new pipe from intercooler to plenum?

I purchased a greddy copy plenum and a q45tb of ebay a while back and only recently fitted it to my r33. I found the overall surface on the top of the plenum to be a little bit rough and the rest of the manifold to be very good. But i have been having major issues with q45 tb and tps in which i can get the car ideling properly. I have double checked all my vacume hoses to ensure it wasent them. And i have followed many of tech guides that i have founf all over the net and still cant get it ideling normally.

Any help would be great

No bussines is actually busier than ever and we cant keep the genuine ones in stock, in fact we sell more R33 plenums than the rest of TRUST's worldwide distributors combined.

Im was not saying all copies are water injection models :rofl: but there is a shipment in melb that came in a few months ago that had this issue i even know the supplier as i distribute his other gear. i dont care if people buy copies there is always going to be people who have differrent proiritys just look at all those tools who buy those junk china turbo's.......... horses for courses. i was just informing potential buyers to ask around before they make a purchase if no one else has had dramas from that particular supplier i would safely say you are ok....

A plenum isn't exactly the most complex piece of gear...

I can't see how they can go wrong if they are essentially just copying the GReddy item. I have bought one of the copies from the group buy a while ago and I think it 'looks' really good for money. Far better then some huge stainless steel box bolted onto the lower half of the stock intake manifold.

My thoughts anyways.

for the rb25 one. id remove and re locktite the water neck for the top hose first aswell.

well i had a brand new greedy one leak so a cheap knock of?? who knows

is that the way these knock off water necks are suppose to be attached is with loctite ?? I figured they were to be pressed in or something ?

I have two of these for sale.

One purchased through SAU GB and the second through ebay.

[ To cut a long story short: Purchased the ebay one first; it arrived damaged; after alot of dicking around i thought i was going to get ripped; bought one through the SAU GB; after 3 months, i received a replacement plenum from the ebay seller. Both are identical and are very decent for the amount paid.]

I have decided to use another plenum as the car will be partly of show quality and this is the only part that i had purchased cheaply.

I am selling both for $260ea delivered (to metro area; may cost more for country areas)

PM me if interested.

still for sale

    • Fuel tank is out. Looks pretty bloody good under (ie above) the fuel tank.  Amazing how good the factory e-coat holds up in the hidden areas.  No where near as much body deadener to get rid of as the front but still not looking forward to it!  Shit of a job.  I'm thinking I might grab a needle scaler and give that a go before I attack it with the angle grinder and wire wheel which is how I did the front 2/3's of the car.  Feels good to be working on the car again but who knows how long it will last!  Hopefully I can get it further forward than where it was prior to this last block of work when I decided to go back 10 steps further down the rabbit hole from where i already was! The problem is, I'm realising how hard it will be to repair and paint the bumpers, which cannot be put back on the car, and have a good paint match. There are also areas where it would be VERY hard to hide the new paint where it transitions from old paint. Like this- There is only one way to do that perfectly and I really dont want to have to do what that means I would have to do... 🤦‍♂️
    • Pretty sure the factory assembly doesn't have any gasket at all, just RTV.
    • I will get a couple cans for sure thanks, I do have 2lt fish oil to spray around the car already.
    • Thought I’d post pics of the packages for those interested. The premium package is #16. Remote start, security with tilt sensor and remote and backup battery, auto fold mirrors and door illumination.    Can post up pics of all the factory options and images from the factory options brochure if people are interested. I have all the dealer books etc for all rv37 models. 
    • After its dried out Penetrol is you friend to treat rust and seal up those seams
