hey,

I recently pick myself up a I/C, now im getting around to do the piping sometime this week. now after reading how good the gtr plenum is and seeing one on a neo rb25, i was wondering does anyone know anyone in australia (or perth) that would be able to make up an adoptor plate to suit an r33 rb25?

thanks michael

Interesting. Was this a standard GTR plenum on the NEO or an aftermarket one (i.e Greddy). Anyone know how hard these would be to fit and whether it would be worth the effort, I mean, outside of making intercooler piping easier. The throttle cable would have to be adapted to suit, but anything else??

Brett, the gtr plenum was on an r34 gt-t 4dr (if u watch d1, it is the blitz r34 4dr, driven by Ken Nomura)

i just did abit of seraching and found that a plate or spacer would be needed to be made to fit inbetween the plenum and the rb25 head. i have contact someone in perth which does ic piping and ask him if he could possable do it, i will get back to you once i have got my reply.

also i read that the gtr fuel rail, will fit also pefrectly?

I fealt top end increased but you lose power down low, all in all if I owned another Skyline would I do it again.........No.......

As mentioned run a search on past threads, here is 2, mainly about 32's but 33's are bought up...

Brett, it was a stock gtr plenum, i have been told and read many times that the responds that the gtr plenum is second to none

on an RB26, YES with the multiple throttle bodies.

on an RB25, NO...........

then Sydneykid, why is it uses on the blitz r34 drift car? and what is the problem putting it on a rb25?

i really would like to know, as i have the chance to buy the plenum very soon and if it isnt going to work well on the rb25 there is no point me getting it

Maybe it has an RB26 in it. Or an RB26 cylinder head. Or maybe it was done so they could get the extra throttle response from the multiple throttle bodies. Drifters need throttle response much more than they need excessive power, particularly long wheelbase heavy sedans. One thing is for sure, there is far more to it than just the plenum.:cheers:

so SK, if i was to do it on my fairly stock rb25? the gains would be almost zero? if i dont lose any power, responds i will still do it as i want the piping shorter

Why not go for an aftermarket plenum made for the RB25?? At least then you know some R&D has gone into its design to make sure it works.

Forget about GAINS, you are looking at LOSSES. Have a read.....

Some info on the RB20 with RB26 inlet as per Zoom Magazine edition 64 and edition 62;

RB20withRB26Inlet.jpg

This picture shows the RB26 plenum being test fitted up to the cut and welded RB20 inlet. The throttle bodies go between the RB26 plenum and the modified (shortened) RB20 inlet but are not shown in this photo.

RB20inletwithRB26Plenum.jpg

This is a picture of the RB26 plenum, RB26 throttle bodies and RB20 shortened inlet on the RB20.

RB20withRB26InletonEngine.jpg

Using a 120 degree bend at the throttle body reduces the difference in intercooler pipework by more than 50%, to a bit less than 1 litre using 75 mm pipework.

NN120DegreeFront.jpg

NN120DegreeSide.jpg

To work out the throttle response difference the calculations are easy;

2500 cc X 5000 rpm / 2 (4 stroke) at 1.3 bar = 135 litres per second

So a saving of 1 litre represents less than 0.005 of a second

That's not a lot of lag to save with reduced pipework.

So using an RB26 plenum and throttle bodies on anything other than an RB26 is not a good idea in my opinion. Especially when you consider the potential to loose throttle response due to poor airflow distribution is far greater than any minute shortening of the inlet pipework.

My 20 cents worth:cheers:

    • Also, the cause of fuel spills and smells from the top of the tank is almost always the rubber hoses that are up there, not the tank seal.
    • 1. No, as you say you can remove the connectors and fuel lines. Before you do make sure you remove fuel pump fuse and crank the starter a few times to release pressure, and also loosen the fuel cap (just in case the tank is slightly pressurised) as it will pump out the lines otherwise 2. Not necessary but you are right, if it is the factory pump it is at risk of failing after 25 years....Changing it is not hard but potentially not trivial as you have to make sure you have the right pickup/sock for the pump to suit the tank, need to make wiring connections (crimped butt connectors would be fine) and have to mount/adapt the new pump in the right place in the cradle. Not impossible but don't start the job if you aren't confident. Also, the plastic nut that holds that seal in place can be really hard to remove. If you don't have a fuel nut removal tool it generally requires a big screwdriver or similar to bash the ring around a few times before you can get it by hand. Also the fuel lines can be very sticky on the tank lid fittings, hose removal pliers can help or if not twist the hose on the fitting (eg with linesperson's pliers) to break the seal before you try and remove it. Finally, mark the feed and return hoses so you don't put them on backwards and seal them with an m8 bolt to stop crap getting into the lines while working. Add a little grease in the threads of the plastic lid when you go to do it back up as a gift to your future self, and make sure you put it on evenly/not cross threaded.  Having said all that, most likely the lid just needs to be either tightened or removed and put back on without being cross threaded...the seal itself is usually pretty good.
    • Another weekend and another project I have questions about.... I bought a fuel tank sender O ring to install on the car because I'm quite sus on what I've got now.  1. No "whooosh" sound when opening fuel cap 2. If I fill up full tank, there will be a small leak under the car and it comes from the top of the fuel tank, dripping along the side. Stops after a short while 3. Hot days = 50/50 chance to get high as a kite inside the cabin if the car was in the sun for too long This is what I bought: https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/1734279900 My plan was to just replace the O ring but I've got some questions: 1. Does the whole fuel pump assembly need to come out for me to replace the O ring?         Or, could I unplug all the connectors and fuel lines at the top, take off the twisty part (17343) and put in the O ring from the top?  2. Is it a very common thing for everyone to just change the pump whenever doing this?        I see the Walbro 255 gets thrown in a lot but I've got no issues with my pump so far. When I did the tune, I asked the guy to check my fuel pressure and he said there were no issues too. But is it just a good idea to change to the 255 anyway as the old unit may have been in there for so long? The 255 seems to be a direct fit for GTT (I got no soldering iron)  
    • Normal speedtek issues, bin it and go cdoo# or 8hp. So many issues with these gearsets, a mate went through 3 rebuilds and multiple parts with heat, bearing and vibration issues.  
    • I wouldn't go near them, they are rubber seals for a reason. Just chuck new cam cover seals, half moons and the spacers for the screws every decade or two. I add a really thin layer of silicone too and it seems to hold together OK
