Recently brought one of these second hand for my 32GTR and am yet to install it but had hoped to keep my ARC airbox

and install the piping to it was wondering if anyone had managed this feat as a quick look has me thinking it wont work.

Kit came with Z32 sized filters but only one adapter plug so I suppose I could get another plug and run Z32's might eventually need to anyway

as am also installing 2530's so might be getting a bit much for stock AFM's

Also does anyone know if the NS-01 filter adapters would fit on the Airinx AY-SB filters as this may be a quick fix for my problem

would of liked to have kept my ARC Box though :)

Any one got a review of the Airinx filters or comparison test? Remember reading one a while ago that rated Apexi filter real high cant remember if Airinx ones were included in the comparison though?

this is the kit I am talking about

Its quality gear & quality costs

I doubt you could get piping fabbed up that would be cheaper and the pipes in this case appear to be cast not just welded tube

each to his own, I of course didnt buy new either.

Anyone confirm if the AFM swap is likely to be neccesary with HKS 2530's, if the stockers are likely to small I might have to bite the bullet and go Z32's

Just curious, but does it rub on the bonnet like the ones i have seen?

A friend of mine is pushing out 429rwkw on his 32 GTR with that suction kit and filter with no problems, so it can take big numbers, but if it was me id be swapping the filters for Apexi.

Okay for all those interested I can answer my own question regarding Trust Airinx filters

I was digging around trying to find some exhaust gaskets and stumbled upon an old Autosalon issue with a review of air filters

Airinx was pretty average flowing with pretty lousy filtration

Apexi flowed better but actually filters worse

Think I need to find some of the 3a Racing ones wich were the best flowing

and only bettered in filtration by the K&N ones, which being wet (oiled) filters makes em no good with Skyline Afm's

You can't go wrong with Trust, if you want apexi then just buy that one. Personaly i would go for the full hks kit takes care of everything you need. hks kit includes air induction to turbo, piping from turbo to intercooler, intercooler to plenum. Can't beat that. If you going to add 2530 Definitely get the z32 afm. I can post a pic of the trust kit on a 32gtr if you like. All jap brands fit like a glove and quality second to none. Do it right the first time and then forget about it.

snake oil my good man. a map sensor, quality filter, an airbox with a nice big 3''-4'' cai pipe will be just as good, and 'less' restrictive than a afm.

in the comparison test theres only apexi,hks,blitz and k&n and yeah apexi was the best

test is like ten years old and irrelevant, later tests have proved the opposite.... honestley the AIRINX dont filter the best but i havenever had a dusting issue ever... if you are after the best get some DRIFT brand filters... they kick ass over KN and all the jap brands and have been tested lately by both magazines and rival manufacturers.... i know this as there was going to be a lawsuit as drift claimed to flow % more than a big US manufacturer and they did the tests to sue under false advertising/slander.... needless to say the lawsuit kinda died a quiet death :banana:

All good URAS no biggy bout the plug

Yeah that online test is old as the hills

the autosalon one was issue 51 last year when they started building the drift car

suprised me as everyone raves bout the Apexi ones an they didnt test that good

    • Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?
    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
