Sorry to dig up old threads - but I'm wondering where the stock aribox gets its air. It looks like the bonnet would seal it off. I guess it must get it throught the front grille? Maybe some room in there.

The standard box sounds like a not bad thing? With a good panel in it is it almost as good as a properly enclosed pod (Im talking on R33 gst, only mod exhaust)

Does anyone know if HKS green panel filters are reusable..I.e clean/washable

Thanks

Hi SK,

Just wondering what induction set-up you run on that 265rwkw r34?

I've allready (r33 gtst) got a K&N flat panel in the standard air box (came with the car) - I'm just considering getting one of those aluminium pipes which run from afm to turbo inlet.

Mods not too far on the horizon should include rb30 bottom end, turbo upgrade, supporting hardware.

Do you think the stock airbox will suffice for this?

Cheers

Standard airbox with a Pipercross panel filter. We found the alloy inlet pipe from the AFM to the turbo was a good idea. I also made up an air deflector (radiator to grill) that has a scoop for supplying extra air to the standard airbox snorkel. I am making one for the Stagea now, keep an eye out on the Stage section as I will post up the photos shortly. :(

PS; I have a Pipercross POD, it's a whopper, going on the RB31DET. It has a substantial cold air feed and a heat shield. I think the 400+ rwkw would be too much for the standard airbox.

What about my qn :( ?  So it sounds like the standard airbox can supply a fair bit of air?

I have no experience with the standard airbox over 265 rwkw, but it made no real difference when I tried no filter or airbox at all on the dyno. Somewhere over that it wil be a noticeable restriction, but I have no evidence of where the limit is.

Hope that answered the question:cheers:

Good stuff mate,

Looks like I'll just go the AFM to turbo upgrade.

I'll be eagerly awaiting the Stagea photos - don't want to change much on my pipework/stock airbox - it looks too nice, neat and standard under the bonnet. From what I've heard of cars and power outputs I doubt I'll ever go over 300rwkw max - it's only rear wheel drive after all!

I have the standard air box with a paper standard air filter. I recently changedfrom large HKS POD under the bonnet. I thiink I may be lacking a bit of the top end I had with the POD..

How much extra power would the pipercross panel give you? Or reduction in 0-100km/h time. 5-7kw? 0.3sec??

Thanks

I THINK this is the one, doesn't explicitly say Skyline anywhere but since Ryco list their A360 as suitable for VN-VT V6 and all the RB Skylines, i say it'd be a safe bet. I'm still measuring mine when i get home though.

To ANY Vics thinking of getting one of these, freight seems to be $13 for orders of 1 or 100, save a few bucks and order together.

I have an S15, which has a very similar induction setup to a skyline, and when removed my pod filter/CAI and put my stock airbox with a K&N panel filter on again I only lost 5kw

Stock induction on Nissans is great, if you street drive your car, I dont see why you would want the extra attention for such a small gain

      Shifting questions

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone

      Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.

      I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.

      I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?

      I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
