Recently brought one of these second hand for my 32GTR and am yet to install it but had hoped to keep my ARC airbox

and install the piping to it was wondering if anyone had managed this feat as a quick look has me thinking it wont work.

Kit came with Z32 sized filters but only one adapter plug so I suppose I could get another plug and run Z32's might eventually need to anyway

as am also installing 2530's so might be getting a bit much for stock AFM's

Also does anyone know if the NS-01 filter adapters would fit on the Airinx AY-SB filters as this may be a quick fix for my problem

would of liked to have kept my ARC Box though :)

Any one got a review of the Airinx filters or comparison test? Remember reading one a while ago that rated Apexi filter real high cant remember if Airinx ones were included in the comparison though?

this is the kit I am talking about

Its quality gear & quality costs

I doubt you could get piping fabbed up that would be cheaper and the pipes in this case appear to be cast not just welded tube

each to his own, I of course didnt buy new either.

Anyone confirm if the AFM swap is likely to be neccesary with HKS 2530's, if the stockers are likely to small I might have to bite the bullet and go Z32's

Just curious, but does it rub on the bonnet like the ones i have seen?

A friend of mine is pushing out 429rwkw on his 32 GTR with that suction kit and filter with no problems, so it can take big numbers, but if it was me id be swapping the filters for Apexi.

Okay for all those interested I can answer my own question regarding Trust Airinx filters

I was digging around trying to find some exhaust gaskets and stumbled upon an old Autosalon issue with a review of air filters

Airinx was pretty average flowing with pretty lousy filtration

Apexi flowed better but actually filters worse

Think I need to find some of the 3a Racing ones wich were the best flowing

and only bettered in filtration by the K&N ones, which being wet (oiled) filters makes em no good with Skyline Afm's

You can't go wrong with Trust, if you want apexi then just buy that one. Personaly i would go for the full hks kit takes care of everything you need. hks kit includes air induction to turbo, piping from turbo to intercooler, intercooler to plenum. Can't beat that. If you going to add 2530 Definitely get the z32 afm. I can post a pic of the trust kit on a 32gtr if you like. All jap brands fit like a glove and quality second to none. Do it right the first time and then forget about it.

snake oil my good man. a map sensor, quality filter, an airbox with a nice big 3''-4'' cai pipe will be just as good, and 'less' restrictive than a afm.

in the comparison test theres only apexi,hks,blitz and k&n and yeah apexi was the best

test is like ten years old and irrelevant, later tests have proved the opposite.... honestley the AIRINX dont filter the best but i havenever had a dusting issue ever... if you are after the best get some DRIFT brand filters... they kick ass over KN and all the jap brands and have been tested lately by both magazines and rival manufacturers.... i know this as there was going to be a lawsuit as drift claimed to flow % more than a big US manufacturer and they did the tests to sue under false advertising/slander.... needless to say the lawsuit kinda died a quiet death :banana:

All good URAS no biggy bout the plug

Yeah that online test is old as the hills

the autosalon one was issue 51 last year when they started building the drift car

suprised me as everyone raves bout the Apexi ones an they didnt test that good

saw that ad with the busted KN filter. any idea how they filter with a dry element?

cheers

    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
    • One other thing to mention from my car before we reassemble and refill. Per that earlier diagram,   There should be 2x B length (40mm) and 6x C length (54mm). So I had incorrectly removed one extra bolt, which I assume was 40mm, but even so I have 4x B and 5x C.  Either, the factory made an assembly error (very unlikely), or someone had been in there before me. I vote for the latter because the TCM part number doesn't match my build date, I suspect the TCM was changed under warranty. This indeed led to much unbolting, rebolting, checking, measuring and swearing under the car.... In the end I left out 1x B bolt and put in a 54mm M6 bolt I already had to make sure it was all correct
    • A couple of notes about the TCM. Firstly, it is integrated into the valve body. If you need to replace the TCM for any reason you are following the procedure above The seppos say these fail all the time. I haven't seen or heard of one on here or locally, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. Finally, Ecutek are now offering tuning for the 7 speed TCM. It is basically like ECU tuning in that you have to buy a license for the computer, and then known parameters can be reset. This is all very new and at the moment they are focussing on more aggressive gear holding in sports or sports+ mode, 2 gear launches for drag racing etc. It doesn't seem to affect shift speed like you can on some transmissions. Importantly for me, by having controllable shift points you can now raise the shift point as well as the ECU rev limit, together allowing it to rev a little higher when that is useful. In manual mode, my car shifts up automatically regardless of what I do which is good (because I don't have to worry about it) but bad (because I can't choose to rev a little higher when convenient).  TCMs can only be tuned from late 2016 onwards, and mine is apparently not one of those although the car build date was August 2016 (presumably a batch of ADM cars were done together, so this will probably be the situation for most ADM cars). No idea about JDM cars, and I'm looking into importing a later model valve body I can swap in. This is the top of my TCM A couple of numbers but no part number. Amayama can't find my specific car but it does say the following for Asia-RHD (interestingly, all out of stock....): So it looks like programable TCM are probably post September 2018 for "Asia RHD". When I read my part number out from Ecutek it was 31705-75X6D which did not match Amayama for my build date (Aug-2016)
