I have an apexi super suction knockoff intake pipe on my r32 gtst. Didn't actually need it, but seeing as its aluminum, it makes much, much more pronounced whishing and whooshing noises. In the twisties, I can't even hear the exhaust (which is almost a straight pipe, just has a rear muffler) during corners with partial throttle. So if you want loud turbo whoosh, go ahead and do it. I guess it'd be functional if your stock pipe is getting sucked closed.

Looks pretty cool, too. All shiny and pretty, it attracts all the dudes.

How much power you making? I have made (and so have others) made over 400 rwkw with the factory GTR airbox.

Well my car its pretty stock but I was hoping to gain more hp without spending too much money.

any advice on what kind of parts should I get!?

thank you!

Just do the $10 mod to stop your intake pipe sucking shut (DIY here somewhere). If you want more power up your boost by 1psi. If your car is really stock get a high flow filter for your stock air box and next a 3in turbo back exhaust and then a Nistune chip. (And for better advice stick the car that you have and your home town in your profile)

    • Por qué no los dos? Body colour red with black stripes down centre, onto bonnet and bootlid.
    • From my bolts, standard M8 with 1.25mm thread pitch (M8x1.25mm).    Length is 19mm under the head and has a captive 18mm OD flat washer.   20mm length from a bolt shop is what you'll be able to get.   Make sure they're zinc plated.    If you're concerned about strength, grade 8.8 will be more than enough. Original PN is 01121-04971.  Now discontinued according to Amayama but that's because it's one of the parts that's been captured by the Heritage program, which explains the ridiculous price.   New PN is 01121-RHR20: https://nismodirect.com/nismo-heritage-bolt-pin-hinge-hood-bnr32-nissan-skyline-gt-r-01121-rhr20-01121-04971/ About AUD33 converted from Yen in the above link but that's just one example. Interesting that the hinge-to-body bolts are still available non-heritage.....PN 08116-8161G around $2 each (amayama).    Same thread but 16mm long.
    • Well, if that filter was impeding fluid flow, then it could have similar effects to faulty solenoids. The TCU will register a fault when it does something (ie, changes the state of a solenoid) and does not detect the required result. If there are other causes that can make the same lack of result, then they will be indistinguishable to the expected cause for which the TCU has a code.
    • Yellowjackets, red ones, blue ones (other than Splitfire) have all been demonstrated to be unreliable on turbo engines. That unreliability can be anything from outright failure (ie, 4 out of a set of 6 working out of the box) to just not being strong enough for the task, on a boosted engine. Not enough of us care about NA engines to know whether that unreliability is an issue for the undemanding needs of an NA RB20. I should think though that the DIS-008 should fit the 20. There's not really any reason for the head/coil mounting area to be any different on those 2 Neos. I wouldn't be buying Splitfires, or any other old tech coilpack, for a car in this day and age though. I would buy modern pencil coils and do what needs to be done to adapt them to the loom. That's relatively trivial these days, with numerous kits for fitting R35, or Audi, or Yaris/Corolla coils.
    • Keen to see how much work is needed to get an abandoned Skyline going. My R32 has been sitting idle for three years or so but finally got some time to get it going again. (Also lurking SAU and trying to hit 10 posts so I can start my own intro thread with pics)
