I've seen one in action on an R32 GT-R, and it's a lot of money for something that should be better designed. It has two inlets, and uses a standard-sized filter on top and a smaller one behind the headlight. The owner isn't that happy with it.

The main problem stems from the rubber edge on the top filter - as it heats up, the rubber stretches from the force of the suction of the filter, and when it cools it stays the same shape, so the filter never ever returns to the proper shape.

I think I have video on my phone, and can upload it to YouTube if you want.

Thinking of making my own to take 2 full sized panel filters fed by the snorkel and another inlet at the front fed through the spare intercooler hose hole.

i was thinking be preety good if you went with a after market intercooler and having that spare intercooler hose hole.. putting a piping down and putting pod filter in where the older side mount intercooler would fit.. cold air, suckin noise, but wonder about rain/water?

Honestly, the standard Skyline and Stagea airboxes flow plenty of air as standard, so unless you're chasing stupid power, there's no need to change it.

yeah i was thinking that stock air box with aftermarket filter is prob better... coz i was thinking the arc just be sucking in air from engine bay right? only lookin at 250atkw mark.. and having aftermarket intercooler would be giving engine cooler air anyway?

Personally, I've got a return-feed FMIC, and it uses the standard intercooler pipes, so the standard airbox is still in place.

Hey 
i know pretty much everyone has stated above that the arc intakes are overrated for what they are.
but i would prefer to run one compared to a pod for the police.
i have a s1 c34 n was wondering if any one here knew if a r33 intake box would suit?

      I think the pic in the first post is another car, and post 7 is OP's car with standard arms and swaybar swaybar swaybar. I can't tell what brand the silver coilovers are, and even if I could I don't know whether the spring rate is OK, if you can find a brand on the shocks and numbers on the springs that might help. Also, if you can measure the ride height from centre of your wheel to the guard that will help with advice too as handling suffers if ride height is too low

      In the first photo you posted, the colour of the control arms are the signature colour for Ikeya. Same for the swaybar, signature colour for Whiteline.  I like Hardrace, they also do hardened rubber bushes if your car is mainly a street car.  I like GKTech as well, but they use a lot of rose joints in their stuff so might not be the best choice for everyone.  The system might have been good back in its day, but it's a prehistoric system now. I suspect that most people have removed the HICAS as they want the car to do what they want to do, not what the car wants to do. From what I also understand, it isn't consistent in it's behaviour on track so it's hard to trust the car/know where its absolute limits are for track use.  Having said that, I think the HICAS eliminator kit was the first thing I installed when I bought my car. I don't personally have any experience with the HICAS system on a race track.

      Thanks for the info. Didn’t know I had aftermarket control arms already? Will talk to my garage. What brand would u recommend if I want to play around with my camber more? I would think my camber is around stock level right now or more negative now due to lowering with coilovers. I will be lower her again 1.5 cm to get some more.    also why does everyone like to remove the hicas system? Is it because most don’t work properly anymore or ppl just don’t like them. Mine is functioning as it should be right now.    thanks for the good info

      It looks like you've got Ikeya control arms and an aftermarket sway bar, maybe whiteline?  Or am I just going crazy? lol Unfortunately it won't, but what it will do is look really pretty. That's about all unfortunately.  How much neg camber do you currently have? Generally lowing the car dials in quite a bit of neg camber as it is. If you do go down this path, your best bet is get adjustable arms, toe arms (or preferably a good HICAS elimination kit) and traction rods. With all 3 being adjustable, you'll be able to dial out any bump steer that is introduced by playing with the camber settings.
