[boost13]

Hello peoples,

I have purchased the above mentioned item from japan. The box looks trick but it must need some sort of harware mounting kit to bolt to factory mounts.

Does anyone have one of these on there car?

Sorry to bring an old post back fom the dead but did you manage to fit the airbox OK in the end?

(any pics)

I am having trouble fitting my ARC induction box to my ECR33.

Bolt holes dont appear to line up.

I've got one of these on my 33... looks trick as but I am not impressed with the design as it just sucks hot air and I don't know how to get cool air to it without putting a vent the bonnet!

but yeah can take some pics of the install if you like?

If you can post a couple of pics to see how it lines up and should look that would be great.

I am sure this will be of interest to prospective purchasers as well.

old thread I know have been considering one of these with the same sorta querys as to how to plumb air to it thinking that a bonnet vent is gunna allow water onto the top filter prob not a good thing ever end up with a solution?

i got one and yeah the design isnt too logical is it? wasnt a smooth fit either but it fits. it seems really close to the bonnet when closed yeah so theres not much room for air to induct. i was thinking of modifying the stocker snorkel to get some air in.

with all the other kits ive seen on gtrs and evos they have 2 filters and one faces the passenger light so u can duct something up or remove the light on track days for better induction....why arent the 33s the same?

id still prefer these to a pod any day..lol

Looking at purchasing one for my 32(GT-R),as pods suck waaaay too much hot air,and I'd like something legal,and different,to the stocker.... Anyone got pic's/hints/headaches/tuning tips they'd like to share?

Had been considering one with a bonnet something like the one attached looks like the vent might be a little to far back though not an ideal solution but would do the trick I reckon very interested in any install pics in an bnr32 and/or experiences installing not good to hear they are an awkward fit in the 33 makes me wonder a little but still keen

I found that the intial problem with fitting was that I had an aftermarket intercooler-to-throttle body pipe, stopped the brackets and mounting points lining up. Fits perfectly now I have changed the piping.

Also, If anyone needs an aftermarket air filter to fit the ARC ECR33 airbox the K&N 33-2017 (originally for RX-7) fits perfectly.

from what ive seen in pics in the for sales section, the 32gtr ARC box is better designed that the ecr33's. the have two filter pannels, one facing up and the other facing the front so you can pipe cold air there if your clever enough.

thanks for the heads up on the KnN filter.....but you just cant beat the original arc filter, they look prettier..ha
