Hi guys,

I'm currently in two minds at the moment, i've got pod filters on my car but i'm unsure whether it would be a good idea to just have a custom/off the shelf airbox fitted with the pods... Or just go with the ARC airbox.

I like the "standard" look and i don't care about induction noises etc, i'm just after the best option in regards to performance and the steathier look.

My eventual power goal would be around the 350awkw mark, so future planning also needs to be taken into consideration.

I'm a brand new ownder of a R33 GTR, so excuse my noobness and voice your opinions!! :P

Cheers,

Steven

if you have the coin id go the arc airbox but the best cheap and very effective option just make the intake to the box larger and duct it to a dry cool place at the front of the car..

i personally have twin pods with a custom carbon heatshield/box

Upgrade the pannel filter to a high flow one. K&N Filter, for example.

I don't think there is much difference (Pods / airbox) until you start running higher boost and getting into the heavier modifcations.

If you want more stealth look = Upgrade the pannel filter + you should have the air vent / scoop feeding air to it.

I suggest you try looking for replacement filters for those ARC airboxes before buying one? Apparently they are hen's teeth to find.

I've got 256rwkw on stock airbox, (many) extra holes in the airbox only gave 3rwkw extra on the dyno. Stock is as stealth as it gets :bunny:

Further to feeding it an extra inlet, the other thing they do to mod the stock airbox is pull out the material glued to the inside of the airbox, and sand away the honeycomb looking stuff from the same area.

Arc airbox filters are not that hard to get and I have even been told there are k&nb ones that will fit though I cant remember/find the part numbers

Have a ARC box I might sell if your interested pm

Had to replace with pods due to Z33 AFM upgrade you should take tat into consideration too

if looking to get more power soon as the only other alternative is the nismo AFM

    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
    • thanks GTSboy. My confusion at the moment is i am trying to locate the ignition, ECU battery power and the ECU negative The closest thing i can find is the for the S15 on Page 8 of the Wiring Specialties web page https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9F33_M_GgENQnZ6STMxVmVNd1E/view?resourcekey=0-eZ4nNRwRoqa1qvKlWWHm8A I cannot find the same diagram for the R33 RB25DET Series 2 dash plug pin out.... Do you know what the Pins? or know where i can find the same pinout diagram for the RB dash plug? Thanks for the advice on the box... i like a 6 speed so might be on the lookout or the box now.. a topic of discussion for another post...
    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
