Hey all

I am going to replace the intake piping on my 33 GTR at the same time the turbos etc are all upgraded for a HKS hard piping kit. The issue is there seems to be two possible options and I am not sure which ones I should get and why there is such a big price difference.

The two options are:

1 is the HKS suction kit 70018-AN004, http://www.nengun.com/hks/premium-suction

the other is the HKS racing chamber kit 70008-AN012 http://www.nengun.com/hks/racing-chamber-kit

both being for the RB26 (R33).

Bearing in mind I already have M's pods and I am going D'Jetro, I am not sure which kit is the one I should be getting, it seems to me that the only difference between these two kits is the racing chamber kit does away with the need to fabricate afm delete pipes as it bolts up to the filters however given the cost for me to have two afm delete pipes fabricated is only $70 odd dollars it seems that I may as well get the premium suction kit and save myself $300.

Am I missing something?

The Racing Chamber Kit does not have anything to do with pipework to the turbo's. It's only the pipe across the engine and Y-Pipe to intercooler pipework before the inner guard.

You need a racing suction kit 70020-AN008 plus the airflow-less adapters.

No i do not think that is correct the racing suction reload kit is what part number you have given and that is just the pods and a small metal pipe attachment?

I already have M's pods so I think I actually need both the premium suction kit and the racing chamber kit DOH because the tuner is now saying that the y-pipe that comes with the racing chamber kit dramatically reduces air turbulence

    • The powder coating came in at $250 EACH. The TRX rims got a coat of clearcoat on the outside only.    
    • Bit wet, but YUMMY
    • Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.
    • It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....
    • Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
