I'm in the process of buying a Greddy knock-off plenum and there doesn't appear to be any place for Aac Valve could someone inform me to how they dealt with this issue. My idea is to perhaps make a flange and weld it onto the cooler pipe before the throttle body.

Another idea is to run without it, as to my understanding all it does is control the idle at start up when other inputs are actively draining power from the system.

Hey Brett, The knock off does have the fitting for the standard AAC valve.

Doesn't really matter if it has provision for one or not they are easily added.

I have a GReddy knock off on my SR20 and I have recently welded up the spot the AAC mounts on. (I just thought it distrurbed the air flow too much) all you need to do to add one is put a barbed fitting into the manifold and you can run that whole AAC from a remote location.

not really

How so? Why will an engine with management system designed to have an AAC regulate air flow under closed throttle idle properly without that device fitted? Is it commonly eliminated, and why do the factory engineers deem it necessary?

Not looking for a debate, just some info to increase my knowledge and understanding.

On my home PC i have a pic of the insides of a Genium Greddy and the copy and you cant pick them apart.

That is a very bold statement!!

The casting is very cheap and nasty, both inside and out. I bought a knock-off and plan to "touch" it up b4 fitment.

The GReddy are WAAAAY better units

Im not argueing the Genuin item is the best, but for the price of the cast manifold and the debate over performance gains etc i am going to try the copy.

I have below some comparison pics. the first is the greddy genuin and the second the copy. Now they are not fair photos as the copy pic is a close up and the camera flash brings out the bumps.

The legit photo was taken from http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.p...howtopic=203859 just incase people think i dodged em lol

Once again from these pics id say the Greddy is smoother but if u look at the runners the cast ruffness is very similar. For the money the knock off is pretty good internally.

Just my extra 5c worth of bla bla :D

oh ok. I can't wait till my design is finished. I am making my own, running it in cad and then Phoenix to get optimum design. JUST NEED MORE TIME

I really doubt you could design something better than that is essentially a GReddy plenum, even if you were a graduated Engineering student.

tmc 2: I totally agree with you. A little cleaning up, a bit of sanding on the out surface and possibly a Powder Coat and all will look sweet.

For the price, i too purchased the copy, but the GReddy unit is undeniably better quality: Even in the pics, and pics tend to hide some things. :D

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????

      Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
