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

    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
