Twin turbo pipe mod should be done regardless.

Has been done.

I'm assuming nobody has ever done a dyno test to prove that intake piping mod has any benefit, despite it being obvious that there would be "some" benefit.

Another way would be to check the pressure inside the airbox on the "outside" of the filter. If it doesnt dip much below atomspheric at full noise, then the duct cant help. You'd have to plumb in a gauge feed tho.

I'm wondering if that's what Nismo did?

I have no idea how shady a business they are, but you'd have to have done some testing before claiming what they have.

"Reduces Compressor intake pressure by 30 percent at the moment of boost pressure, also decreases air-path pressure"

And call me stupid, but what does that even mean? Does that mean that a pressure gauge was put in the airbox and at the moment boost comes on the vacuum in the box was less because air was flowing more freely into the airbox?

You could say that changing the panel filter for a more free flow design would also have the same effect.

It does, the ricer in me loves it.

I like the Mines carbon one more, but this one I could potentially bring myself to cut in half so I could give it to a Fibreglass place and have them make a mould.

Do you guys think there'd been any interest in a replica?

Not trying to justify anything, I like data where available. There area ton of things I could buy because they're pretty but I tend to prefer function over form (where I have to pick one or the other).

If I can have both then that's nice too.

But if you like the look of it then buy it. Don't try and justify bling with performance figures

pshhh shows what you know.

Every nismo item adds 10 killawasps. Everyone knows this.

I'm pretty sure the kill switch liter is worth an extra 30kw btw. Awaiting data from the tuna....

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
