to cut a long story short i was talking to a guy today who makes up custom bits and bobs for cars and motorbikes some of his work has gone into a few cars that have featured on the front page of magazines so i started talking to him about making me up a front entry plenum up but not using the standard one on a gtst is it going to be worth it and is there anything to watch out for if i start making one up?

Have a search dude, there has been a lot of talk about this in the past and some useful information spread. It's quite easy to fk up the air flow though so do a lot of research before you commence.

Not really worth the effort in my opinion.

There is a lot to consider and a hell of a lot of flow testing and R&D that goes into any efficient plenum design.

There are plenty of options already available, Greddy and Plazmaman being the two most popular/common.

I tend to agree with Blitz. plenum design is pretty important and a bit of a dark art to get it right. there are some good off the shelf products out there as nick mentioned that are not prohibitively expensive.

thanks for the comments i know what your saying about flow testing and that i am after a one off pice and in the uk gredy and plaman one are quite expensive £500+ the guy who might be helping me fabricate it in heavily into motor racing and has made inlets up before for high spec cars just not skylines thanks for all the inlet pics im shore they will be very handy if i do decide to do this

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...

      BCNR33/ECR33 Door corner piece replacement

      Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !

      I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
