hey guys i was looking at my engine bay tonight and thinking how to clean it up a little. now im running a microtech which is Map sensor so no afm and it doesnt use the aac icc valve. now the big hose that goes from the elbow of the crossover pipe to the plenum/aac valve. now i dont think the aac valve is in use as theere is no plug plug into the purple plug on it. can i remove this pipe and blocke it off as im soon to be running external gate off the stock manifold and this hose may get in the way a tad.

I would keep it there untill not needed. I mean run your piping similar to mine that way there is no mucking around blocking stuff off. What about front facing plenum? Totally get rid of all the clutter

thought of that but for the power im going for its not needed plus ill need to remove all my battery and redo all my piping its in a vl btw

That is true I'm just lucky on those kind of things. You found anyone over there to make you one of those manifolds. I'm mucking around trying to see if the wastegate can be fitted under the manifold and turbo get it out of the way a bit also keep it looking low key on the stock mani

yeah the boys at ovaboost can do it for me however let me know how you go for the low key side of things as im using this for street however i wouldnt mind seeing a external gate sitting there haha

eventually ill get a forwrd facing plenum JD customs ( a advertiser on calaisturbo makes a forward plenum for rb25 that bolts onto stock runners

As for the hose spigot, if your AAC isn't utilised then block everything up.

As for the plenum, I had a custom one made using a GTR plenum chamber and stock RB20 runners (RB25/30 with an N/a non-vct head) and a Q45 t/b on the front positioned so that I could utilise the standard GTR cooler/plumbing I fitted up. No relocation of battery etc. Barely cost more than a FReddy manifold.

    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
    • Was that Australia Delivered Duncan? Does it have siren etc?   I used to have remote start on an old 32 two decades ago, it was a cool feature. I used to wake up early in winter for work. Start it and by the time i was out the door a few minutes later the engine was warmed up and the heaters had the car toasty. It was great.    I don’t mine the ambience lighting.  I drive a western star and it has footwell lights and ambient lighting and it’s great! From the pics of seen of them installed in a skyline I think it’s a nice touch
