hey guys am installing my greddy copy mani & HKS fuel rail next week & am on the market for an aftermarket throttle body was

wondering wich ones are good value for money and will direct bolt up & can use standard TPS most 1's i have found are either really

shit made or dodgy or just look really shit and have to have to much modifications made so if anyone knows who makes a good one can

let me know as im interested in buying 1 this week & i wanna try find 1 that i can use my S2 TPS as all 1's i have found u have to

use S1

cheers richard. (RBJ37)

im after a aftermarket 1 purely just cause the nice billet ones just look so much neater then an oem throttle, but in saying that im not just after looks

either i do want it to perform like it is suppose to.

Why dont you get an S1 TPS and solder the plug in?

You can use an S1 ECU in an S2 car, so the TPS will work the same. It is a standard nissan 3 prong plug... You could get one off an EXA or anything from the CA18+ era (the plug I mean).

Or just find a 3 wire plug and make your own (cut off the nissan plugs and solder a male and female of your own).

Yer I know this cheers mate still doesn't solve my problem of trying to find a nice affordable billet throttle body, has anyone used one of the pnt performance throttles? They are very nice and look pretty well made and for $300 delivered not too shabby.

Pull the coolant nipples out of your standard one, paint it anodized blue or something and use it

Unless you are running serious power, STD throttle body is fine for performance

Too much of a f**k around pulling it apart to get it anodized mate would rather jus buy a aftermarket 1 & I am looking to make a good 600 at the treads eventually so wud rather jus buy 1 now.

That's about it, but it will probably cost a LOT more than your cheapass FReddy plenum did.

Personally, I run a Q45 throttlebody.

mate im only using the fkn copy plenum cause i got a good deal with it and i dint really want the mani i bought a package that came

with a brand new genuine HKS fuel rail & GTR injectors i got all of it for $400 so pretty good considering the HKS fuel rail are that alone so why

not use the manifold & shit i will be getting a hypertune or plazmaman later anyway but while i got this here might as well make use of it,

i was gonna run a Q45 but i like the billet ones dont want a standard looking throttle body, anyways i got the PNT performance 100mm

purple 1 and mate not really worried aqbout price aye as i will buy either the hypertune mani and throttle together or the plazma package

    • I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
    • Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy
    • Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
    • @KinkstaahKrinkle paint the "silver" alloy, not the red filter frame Engine bay heat won't be a issue worth worrying about as the silver alloy blocks it off on 3 sides, as for the top, the bonnet seals most of it and the big OEM CAI intake snorkel is still fitted in its original position  I will head into Clark's Rubber when I have some time to grab some pinch weld to tidy up the alloy after I paint it As for performance, I honestly wasn't expecting any, the only reason I got it is because the intake noise sounds cool to my old ears when I'm feeding it the beans Sometimes it's the silly things you do in in life that gives the most fun, and I do love anything that makes cool car noises In other news: I survived 4 nights at sea with Jackie not throwing me over board, holidays are continuing now as we are currently chilling at the Beachcomber in Toukley, after taking the coast roads from Sydney in the MX5, top down all the way, Toukley is where I spent a good deal of my youth holidaying during the summer months, there's lots of reminiscing going on,  and lots of beaches and old houses to visit Next on the list is to head to Batemans Bay for a few days, but we will take the Commodore out to stretch its legs, then Commodore hasn't really moved for months
