So after using a stock plenum for many years which came with NOS ports I decided to go for a Nismo air collector (plenum as some people call it)
Some obvious differences when looking at them both side by side. Longer runners to help with low down power and torque as well as addressing the no1/6 cylinder fuelling.
Also the awesome guys downunder at Haltech sent me this - a dedicated patch loom for the Elite 2500. Much better design than the crappy Boomslang one which I had to rewire to make the best out of it, but being picky I wanted this one.
Interested in seeing what differences the nismo plenum brings. I have heard other ppl say the mid areas are improved. Smaller too so possibly a liiiiittle easier to work under heh
My car is going the direction I'm taking it. Every mod done thus far has delivered. Just carefully planning parts and understanding how they match up with the rest.
Got the plenum on yet, Younes? Come on, chop chop! Want to see some pics! :chuckle:
Seriously though, very interested to see your results, this is high on my want list, hopefully after clutch and gearbox is done and I have my haul of Nismo parts on! Are all you keeping it stock, or going for a painted look?
Busy with work at the moment so will get around to doing this the same time I replace my engine harness. Stock look and then will get the Nismo inlet air pipe for the R32.
I bought mine, nissan original brand new, from a US ebay seller. Just the main engine loom. Can't remember exact price but it was under £300 shipped, probably 5 years ago now.
Lovely car, but personally, I couldn't part with the R33 for one. :nervous: My wife and I considered a 35 as a shared third car, but I'm looking to replace my Mazda 6 Sport diesel next year with a GT86 daily, I want that to have some mods too... I can't justify 3 petrol cars, plus the expense of a 35, I'd rather spend it on the GTR. I do 1800 miles a month just to work, I'd have to take a second mortgage just for fuel, lol. Especially with a supercharged or turbo daily 86! :chuckle:
Ended up buying another wheel minus the paddles, no need for them. Comes with configurable shiftlights, warning leds, data which is fed via CAN from the ecu.
Here we go.. gotta say very tempted to get a nismo plenum myself! Pricey but heard it does improve! That said I could put the money to a 6speed box kit!
M4 prob not doing too well simply because ppl in that market just have the "well I'll just get the M3 that's the one to have.. or an M5" it's maybe just a bit too close to them but they are plenty fast and they look Stunning imo.
Absolutely I think so. They are visually stunning and performance to match. 6 cylinder twin turbo engine with a 7sp gearbox is hard to beat. Reminds me of a modern RB26.
I actually didn't realise they have canned the M3 And it was a replacement so I learnt something heh
My mate took me out in his F60 M5 and that thing was a time machine.. it just wafted up to 140mph so easily it was crazy and super refined and comfy. But yeah I do wish it sounded better it felt very sedate. This M4 sounds nicer I think overall but yeah a bit more roar would be cool [emoji14]
Bloody ace car tho it seems bigger yet 80kg lighter and then loads of extra features on it
Removed the 24 year old transmission harness and knock sensor harness and replaceded with brand new ones. Cannot underestimate the importance of good electrical connections to all the sensors and control systems.
Agreed did a bundle of this on mine too and covered alot of the wiring with that plastic sleeve stuff that I salvaged from crashed focuses in the scrap yard heh. Helps protect em a little!
So the only thing left to do now is to find connectors for the neutral switch and reverse switch. Unfortunately the people who worked on my car some years back cut the connectors off on the switch side - so now need to try and source some! This is what happens when inept or dumb people work on your car
