Plazmaman plenum the go for sure, they have had nothing but good news about them to date.

They have also been known to have the turbo spooling 400rpm quicker then a greddy. As tested on the gt35r turbo.

Also have the advantage of being a straight drop on the standard runners, and has the outlet for the iac.

Although they cost 1200 bucks, but all ya have to worry about is just amending ya intercooler pipes, and possibly throttle body selection.

The setup i am going for is similar style as the extreme exhaust manifold ( with a 45mm pro-gate turbosmart external wastegate) and a similiar style plenum to the plazmaman. The guy that is doing the work on my car for me, has currently worked on a 1000hp skyline, and is enough proof to me that his shit actually works.

But yeah extreme manifolds look awesome and i reckon plazmaman for the plenum. Would be awesome combination.

budget isnt an issue, so i was thinking of doing both manifolds at once.

does everyone agree the greddy is the best inlet plenum for the r33 gtst?

pics of my current setup..

you could cut a bit of piping out of the current if you wanted.

Just by looping much earlier and coming over the rockers by getting rid of the factory cross over.

There are a few cars on here with that setup and it doesnt affect the bonnet closing which is the main factor.

I just cant think of which cars at present :D

Go with whatever suits really.

If you've got cash to tidy it up, might aswell.

Umm... its actually the opposite mate.

A low mount is better for under bonnet temps than a high mount.

Thats fair enough then, i was just going by, what kyle had said, and looked obvious to me.

But if stats are looking the other way then good stuff.

Has there been stats as oppose to low mount and high mount with turbo bag or heatshield??

Also engine temps as oppose to engine bay??

      I know mentally you're set on the ATS clutch but honestly I'm a big fan of the Nismo Super Coppermix Twin. It's much cheaper and in some ways I think it's a better design for a street/circuit car.

      Just checked in first post and you should be able to bring it home November this year, right? I'm amazed you made it through four years of this. As hard as it feels now the rest will go by in a breeze in hindsight, I'm sure.

      Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.

      It's a stunning location!  I've been to NZ twice but haven't made it to the North Island yet.  Definitely on the cards but the South Island is hard to tear yourself away from too... Looking forward to see what you can wring out of it once you can get it to hold together!  Be awesome to get a low 11 or even sneaking into the high 10's pass out of it.  That's a bloody quick car that most people will never experience in their life.  Enjoy!

      Nominally yes but I’m not really at that stage yet. Outsourcing to Japan is also a relatively good deal at the moment because their currency has devalued much more against the USD.  You would assume this but a lot has changed from the pandemic. Mechanics are in short supply and demand for fixing old cars has gone up from the cost of new cars. 250-300 USD/hr is not an unusual shop labor rate in California and you’re paying that regardless of whether the guy is competent or not. Coworkers have been quoted 3000 USD for a water pump and thermostat at a dealer on an N54. Oil changes went from ~75 USD to 150 on fairly normal cars like Civics. The cost of the oil and filter hasn’t even kept up with inflation.
