Dumpe Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 when purchasing the car it came with drift air pods. I rather the standard air box look.

XRATED Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Pretty shure you can't use a standard airbox. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/371933-help-can-u-use-std-airbox-with-hks-hrd-piping/#findComment-5930207 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiwiRS4T Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Or get a fabricator to make it fit. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/371933-help-can-u-use-std-airbox-with-hks-hrd-piping/#findComment-5930523 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nissan-kid Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Have come across a certain r34 V-spec 2 nur using nismo hard piping the same as your hks piping and running a standard airbox.. It's in the 'performance imports' mag issue no. 134 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/371933-help-can-u-use-std-airbox-with-hks-hrd-piping/#findComment-5930810 Share on other sites More sharing options...
R31Nismoid Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Its a Nismo Airbox, hence it fits with the Nismo piping. You cannot fit airbox with HKS piping far as i know. You have to use pods, which is going backwards unless you do some proper CAI/ducting etc. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/371933-help-can-u-use-std-airbox-with-hks-hrd-piping/#findComment-5930814 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nissan-kid Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Oh ok cool, never knew nismo actually made an airbox? Knew they made the snorkels.. Thanks for the info will have to do abit more reading Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/371933-help-can-u-use-std-airbox-with-hks-hrd-piping/#findComment-5930925 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nissan-kid Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Jumped on the nismo web site and could only find the air duct for use with the genuine oem airbox.. Anyone else confirm if nismo make a special box for there hard piping? Otherwise you must be able to use the standard box? Looks like I'm going to have to go out and buy some hard intake piping and find out for myself..

bigmikespec Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Nismo hard piping is to be used with the OEM airbox. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/371933-help-can-u-use-std-airbox-with-hks-hrd-piping/#findComment-5931288 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer Baron Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 yeah there is no nismo airbbox. the nismo piping does not include the piping between the airbox and the turbo inlets. it's just the piping from the turbo outlets to the intercooler. it still retains the standard piping between airbox and turbos hence the airbox fits. the piping above is teh HKS kit which also replaces the piping between turbo outlets and intercooler but it also replaces the piping between the afms and the turbo inlets. for this reason it won't work with the factory airbox. your only viable option is have a box made around the pods out of carbon or alloy.
