Seriously. , by writing what I did I'm trying to help you.

It's up to you .

Look at the result of your previous threads and consider my advice along with others.

Man just asking a simple question about a car lol.. not rocket science..

the standard RB26 plenum is pretty damn good.

maybe get it powder coated if you like the look of new stuff under the bonnet.

But really a new plenum won't make a bee's dick's worth of difference to anything except your wallet

C'mon guys, sometimes it's easier to just either ignore the question and move on or just post a quick reply (or link to previously discussed topic) and again, move on! Bullying people over stupidity is still bullying!

My view- looks good, supposedly helps leaning out of cyl 6, apparently gives minimal performance gains.

Best option? Buy a cheap Freddy off Ebay and put a sticker on it, win!

Haha ok thanks.. it's seems that the general consensus is it makes no real difference and that money would be better off spent on something else..

The main purpose of the Greddy plenum is to help equalize cylinder flow, the stocky is known to push too much air towards cyl 5 and 6 causing them to run leaner than the other 4.

There is no power to be gained running one, stocky is good for high power builds.

Key point is to run the highest flowing injectors towards the rear to aid the lean issue.

So many people running the stock intake manifold to over 450Kw its not funny.

You suck at Google.

This was at the top first search and all I did was type greddy plenum rb26.

Did you read that thread? Its the same old "wives group" shouting the usual and kind of lacking in actual results.

I am not saying they are an upgrade that people should rush out and do...but I have never read a credible back to back like i have with the Nismo plenum and Hypertune plenum.

I am curious and open to it because a mate that I respect who has owned more high HP Skylines than I will ever drive likes running them. And yes the std plenums make good power, but the Greddy item will give different results, different how is the question for me and as above curious....would be nice to read actual results from a semi sensible practical test.

    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
    • Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
