Hey guys, I am looking for a V35/Z33 plenum which has the inlet (where the throttle body bolts on) bending around to the drivers side instead of the usual passenger side bend.

I saw one that was available in the US a while ago but cannot find it now.

Any of you guys seen one in your internet travels? If so, where did you see it?

You may have spied a part photo showing the right side of a late model dual intake. In all my trolling I've never seen an early model with the inlet on the RHS. Curious as to why you'd want this?

Nah, definitely not a duel intake plenum. It was an add-on for a turbo kit where the intercooler piping went from the turbo on the right side (looking at the front of the car) down into a large front mount, then out of it and straight up the left side of the engine... much like my Stagea's intercooler piping.

Reason? The Stagea's plenum and runners are considerably smaller than the 3.5's but it looks like the VQ35's items could bolt on to the VQ25det.

Thus to maintain the most direct path for the intercooler piping, I would need the V35/Z33 plenum that has the inlet pointing left instead of right.

Or custom fabricate your own upper plenum off the lower half. I think the 3.5 plenum will be too big for a turbo application causing lag while filling it.

I have some great designs just waiting to be made up... :happy:

Cam, we will have a spare upper plenum floating around in the not so distant future, we could possibly look at modifying it to test your theory. :P

And it will be cheaper and easier than finding the particular one you saw on the net! :(

      yeah I have brown peeking out from in between some metal sheets close to the hood hinges. Strut towers look fine, even around the edges. some images https://imgur.com/a/brGt3Tu the one that looks the worst is the panel(s) going away right near the firewall on the passenger side, from underneath. Driver side does not look that bad.

      I presume you are talking about a C34? Have you seen the buyers guide? https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/92065-buyers-guide-the-nissan-c34-stagea/ It's what got me to sign up to the forums when I bought mine. What kind of insight are you after? Up front I'd probably suggest to not get tempted by the poverty-spec models. I can't imagine a RB20DE to be engaging to drive in a 1600kg car.

      yeah I try to be positive. Time will tell what becomes of it. Realistically my only other choice than to just deal with all the issues is to walk away and just sell it agai, at a loss.     I know a fair bit about these cars and knew before buying. I will try to deal with the rusty spots without tearing apart the metalwork for now. Sooner or later I probably will have to bite the bullet and do (or ge done) the arguably worst job an a 33/34 Skyline.

      I'm aware that you can sink endless amounts of money into an engine. I don't want that kind of engie though. My power goal is 500, maybe 600hp at the max. I can get by with the nearly stock engine that I have now for that purpose and if it does need a rebuild at some point I would choose longer lasting components instead of the most ridiculously hp-rated ones. And do all the essentials of course.
