Damn, that is a huge increase, NismoGTSX. I might have to reconsider it. I'd talked myself out of it, but this is good to hear. Have you got any more details of your mods?

dAVE:

I didn't notice your comment to me about Merli. Thanks for the tip. I've just spoken to him about it actually.

Nahh - its got a fair bit more than 300... Probably more like 330... It makes 300 by 5000rpm, and then broke traction past 5500rpm, so I'm not sure of it's exact figures yet. It revs to 7500....

As for how quick down the track... Not sure if I'm in a hurry to run it... I've spent god knows how much money on it to get it to this stage, and it's suspension setup is for track work...

To run a decent time, I'd have to fit an auto box, and some sicks, plus some front runners, and that's money I'd rather not have to spend...

When I end up selling it, I might spend the $$$ just so I have the slips for 10 seconds when I sell it.

BTW - MIC33R - I'm not saying that the plenum's a complete waste of money... I'm saying that for that sort of $$$ outlay, you could spend it better :)

I have a custom plenum on my car, but i cannot really quantify the results of just the plenum, as I did alot of mods all at the same time. It definitly helps reducing the length of pipework but at my level (205rwkw) I don't think it makes a noticable difference. Another thing you have to factor in is alot of custom plenums remove the factory idle sensors, etc from the plenum which then requires a full computer.

Pics of my plenum are here www.mfx.com.au/team/prgen.jpg

Details on moy mods are here http://www.mfx.com.au/team/pages/prg.htm

Darren at Mood Motorsports made my plenum, which I believe is a much better design than the Sub-Zero item due to the tapered design. The Sub Zero one to me looks as if it favours the first few cylinders, and would starve the last few.

If you give Mood Motorsports your manifold, they will make the polished aluminium plenum for $850. He also did my pipework and I/C for $2000. I can't speak highly enough of his work, it is excellent.

Just tell him that Jeff from MFX recommended him.

    • 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
