Hi all. I wont bore you on some of the words I used in the search engine to see if any of you lot has one of the fabled(and I'm led to believe very expensive) ARC airboxes,but I came up blank. So...who's got one? What's it fitted to? And does anyone have solid,proven info' either negative or positive about their flow rate,legality(will be involving an engineer to get everything passed anyhow),quality of fit(ease of fitting up,too) etc? Availablity of new elements? I'm not a fan of pods sucking in engine heat,and an enclosed box usually looks average,and no one whats to say they've dropped flow with their new bling box. So,the ARC looks pretty good...so far. A quick overview as to it's intended home: R32 GT-R,approx. 350 AWKW is the expected figure in the end.

So,now I've put it out there;what say you all?

P.S. I'm a bit bah,humbug about tomorrow's little religious gathering,so I'll just wish you all a nice day off if you get one,and keep everything nice and safe,'K?

i was looking for one for ages. but settled with a k&n hi flow panel ($80). i dont think the gains vs. cost is worth it imo. but hey everyone on this forum seems to be richer then me lol. damn money pit gtr's. arc boxes were $550 new from nengun last time i checked.

dont bother getting one they are more restrictive than your standard airbox...tried and tested on a r34gtt..

sorry but i dont have the dyno sheets ...--- i know that wont help but yeah

cheers

wow! i'm sureeeee they are!!

I have built a custom air box and intake...using a UniFilter. In the end I reverted to stock aitbox with hi-flow panel filter which not only makes it more stealth but is one less defect I need to worry about...

as for performance...I reckon my stockie is actually better now...eitehr way there is no real difference. My tune is at 270 rwkw atm

I have one

Had pods on it beforehand - those m's k&n ones.

The box is a lot quieter, but still makes a bit of sound

Compared to the standard box wih an s tune filter its slightly better, compared to the oem filter/box im sure it would be miles ahead - otherwise why make it?

You get what you pay for i guess :P

i have one in my 33. bigger cavity, great quiet intake sound compared to pods. reservations though as it sits pretty hi and close to the bonnet. thinking of modifying the stock snorkel to provide better and cooler airflow but havent gotten around to it. if money's an issue just get urself an apex hi flow pannel. the stock box is a very good setup in my opinion because of the snorkel intake. it just popped up on the forums for a good price and i snapped it up.

oh yeah it also makes the engine bay look pretty too!!

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
