hey whats up,Im just waiting on a new turbo for my skyline,with the old one it was making 300rwkw but im chasin more bout 330-350,and cant work out if i really need a forward plenum or not,im running a power f.c with atmo bov so if i really need it its i bit of a pain in the ass,coz ill have to get a oil fiter relocation kit and re-weld a new flange for the bov.also it will be alot closer to the afm,its not to bad at the moment but its pretty close to the throtle body so stalling isnt that bad unless you back of qik at low rpm,any way what im needing to find out is who is making this sort of power with the factory plenum?? Im sure its possible just wanting some other opinions and also wanting to get everything sorted befor she goes on the dyno...

cheerz Jim.

what sort of skyline is it?

It is said that the Stock RB25 plenum can handle approx 350RWKW/500Rwhp

Few here have installed an Rb26 plenum rather than the FF Plenum.

At the end of the day, the stock plenum will be fine. With a forward facing plenum you will gain a bit more response and a bit more power through out the rev range (depending on plenum of course). It tidies up the engine bay something fierce as the stock plenum setup is a very ugly piece of gear. I did the plenum very early on and it was probably one of the best mods i ever did.

Your call though.

Nope, you can either use an adaptor plate which isn't sold new anymore. Or you have to modify the hell out of it. There is a thread in the Forced Induction section about it. It aint a small job.

      I'll snap up some photos when I'm back home, in the office today meeting my "in the office" quota. Have 2x Teams calls scheduled in, office culture they reckon.   I've never owned a proper off the shelf sub, I've always made or modified broken ones with Jaycar plate amps and/or car subwoofer drivers. The current (and broken) subwoofer has a proper home driver in it, Dayton driver, thos one https://www.daytonaudio.com/product/118/rss265hf-4-10-reference-hf-subwoofer-4-ohm FS of 25Hz, which is low but not low enough. Yeah, I think they were brought out to the market to compete with SVS. I would love a SVS PB-3000 but they're not cheap, especially after their price hike. From reviews online, it does look like the Tonewinner D6000 would destroy and with good amount of money saved too.

      yeah, that happens too.  I'm really enjoying 4WDing at the moment, seen a few beautiful spots and want to go explore more of this enormous country.  The 370Z got a clutch LSD in it and a track day, great fun.  Getting the back end sorted out really rejuvenated my enthusiasm for driving it hard, the viscous one is poo especially in such a short and wide chassis.  The VLSD unpredictability was more benign in a long and skinny Skyline.

      With my pre/power I use a remote trigger cable(3.5mm jack each end). I turn tv on, it turns both on via ARC. Or, just the pre with the remote or its streaming software, turns on both. Not that difficult at all. Obviously,  you would also want to actually update/upgrade over other factors in your life(bills, family, other hobbies, etc)

      Yeah, nightfall was very "meh". And I'm crap at pvp, so feels like everyone has cheats(it's just my lack of skill). Final shape has been pretty good. New raid and dungeon are pretty good. If you want to give it a go, probably wait until it's on sale. But, as usual, most of it feels very familiar.

      This morning was Kingswood's Microscopic Wars. It is the album's 10 year anniversary this year and we went to see them play the whole album as a special show a couple of months back. Was pretty spectacular.
