Hi all. I wont bore you on some of the words I used in the search engine to see if any of you lot has one of the fabled(and I'm led to believe very expensive) ARC airboxes,but I came up blank. So...who's got one? What's it fitted to? And does anyone have solid,proven info' either negative or positive about their flow rate,legality(will be involving an engineer to get everything passed anyhow),quality of fit(ease of fitting up,too) etc? Availablity of new elements? I'm not a fan of pods sucking in engine heat,and an enclosed box usually looks average,and no one whats to say they've dropped flow with their new bling box. So,the ARC looks pretty good...so far. A quick overview as to it's intended home: R32 GT-R,approx. 350 AWKW is the expected figure in the end.

So,now I've put it out there;what say you all?

P.S. I'm a bit bah,humbug about tomorrow's little religious gathering,so I'll just wish you all a nice day off if you get one,and keep everything nice and safe,'K?

I have built a custom air box and intake...using a UniFilter. In the end I reverted to stock aitbox with hi-flow panel filter which not only makes it more stealth but is one less defect I need to worry about...

as for performance...I reckon my stockie is actually better now...eitehr way there is no real difference. My tune is at 270 rwkw atm

I have one

Had pods on it beforehand - those m's k&n ones.

The box is a lot quieter, but still makes a bit of sound

Compared to the standard box wih an s tune filter its slightly better, compared to the oem filter/box im sure it would be miles ahead - otherwise why make it?

You get what you pay for i guess :P

i have one in my 33. bigger cavity, great quiet intake sound compared to pods. reservations though as it sits pretty hi and close to the bonnet. thinking of modifying the stock snorkel to provide better and cooler airflow but havent gotten around to it. if money's an issue just get urself an apex hi flow pannel. the stock box is a very good setup in my opinion because of the snorkel intake. it just popped up on the forums for a good price and i snapped it up.

oh yeah it also makes the engine bay look pretty too!!

      It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in

      No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.

      @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣

      Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
