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....

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
