Hey guys and girls

Well i got my car back from the workshop after getting a FMIC installed. Now atm i have left the nostils in, they are the two small squares infront of the cooler. They give the car a very JDM look which is the look i am going for, I think i like them but am not 100% if you know what i mean. The bar goes into the shop on monday to get the cuts refibreglassed, smoothed and painted. So i do have the option of getting them cut out, just after some opinions.

Id say lose them, but it may make the intercooler area look a little tall (eg. S1 R33 stock bars cut out, or R32 GTS-T stock bars cut out)...

One of the photoshop gurus should be able to edit something up to give you a real comparison. Maybe ask around in the photography section?

    • List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter? 
    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
