The P.R.C. (Peoples Replicating Country) make some whizz Jetskis now. Just like Yamaha.... but ...!!

You pay ur money, and you pay again.....

I'm agreeing with the others on this. Buy from the people who developed them in the first place, if we don't, R&D will be a thing of the past, as sadly this seems to be the case as cash is counted before quality.

But then again, its only a piece of pipe....!!!!

Personally, I never cease to be amazed by the "el Cheapo" crud that comes out of our need to buy from PRC of late.

travis, Please dont' tell me those are the china filters on there mate !

i got one of these china copies but off a different supplier. It was pretty good but ive heard enough stories to cover my ass before fitting it.

first thing i did was give it to my mate at an engineering shop to machine all the surfaces flat. then i gave it to Chris at Craved Coatings (forum member - Craved) to sand it flat then powdercoat it. when he was sanding it he found HEAPS of bog so he's cleaning it all out and re-welding it somehow. when i get it back im going to match port it then fit it all up. ive got all my hoses ready to go, im just trying to find a way to fit up the AAC valve to the intake properly.

on a $250 part i chose to spend the extra $150 or so to get it cleaned up and looking pretty. i suggest anyone who buys one of the china copy plenums to at the very least do what ive done for peace of mind.

dose this also fit the stock afm? as im looking at getting nismo ones... i to also have the hard pipe kit....

[mattlikewhoa]

Thanks for sharing rev210 re-inforces my decision to continue buying quality parts

Exactly what I was thinking...

yes, the greddy kit comes in 2 different types for 32 GTR. one to suit standard or nismo afms and the other type to suit Z32 AFMs. I've had both kits. the first one was the Z32 kit, and now have the standard afm kit.

i took some pics of the greddy gear the other day. will uplaod today or tomorrow. the results were not surprising...

[PHA71L]

nice! were did you buy yours from? cost? do they come with the air filters as well? i all ready have pods...

i still think my stock intake pipeing is sucking shut because when i change gears fast some times it only make 9 10psi instead of 13 which is really a PAIN about 50hp less

Ha ha ! Classic !

It will be the ying to the china yang

[Beer Baron]

ok, here's the pics. not surprisingly it's all good. no rough bits inside. no sharp angles where the Y pipes merge. infact it's a very nice transition, with some very nice cutting and welding. the cast pipes are good too. no rough casting, and no misshapen pipes either. also, the plastic bits of the filter are strong and no dags to break off. the filter foam is proper dual density foam and definitely wont disintegrate (though I still think I'll swap for my apexi ones).

[Beer Baron]

see if you can pick which one is from china and which one is made in japan.....

[R34GTFOUR]

lol

goodwork

[Usual Suspect]

(looks ashamed) and i was looking at getting one of these "bolt on kits"...... i thought how could they stuff up something so simple?????

looks like it will have to a greddy kit then, its a pity they are about $1100 + p&h. FOR A FEW PIPES???

although i hear they sound pretty cool when you get up it, anyone confirm this?

[sh@un]

..... i thought how could they stuff up something so simple?????

easy- by only being concerned with scamming as many people as possible out of some cash and not giving a flying-f**k about the whole 'fitness for purpose' bit

they are $1100 for a piece of piping because they took the time to develop them from scratch (not by just copying someone else) and they spend the time and money on good materials, qualified and dedicated staff, excellent quality control and top quality materials. and of course our weak aud doesn't help.

they do sound nice I guess.

I picked up 14rwkw through the midrange and 12rwkw in the top end over the stock pipe work, with the T517Z's. Good quality, fit right first time and required no finnishing.

Look great too..
