I recently installed a BMC Carbon Dynamic Airbox it's an alternative to a cold airbox / pod filter, am very impressed with performance increase.  It creates a cyclone suction increasing air pressure, 10-18 bhp increase, they don't come cheap though, looks very sexy though in the engine bay.  

could you take some photos of your engine bay for us please.

ive never heard of the CDA, but it looks interesting, and would be a nice change from the damn old pod filter. It is on the pricey side, but if the power gain is genuine then i think it is worthwhile.

have you got any dyno readouts of before and after?

Just ask for the latest model, the cool thing is 1 model fits all, it just plugged into my air intake, no major mod required which is all good. I first saw the CDA advertised in the NZ performance magazine 0800 retro4u , my one cost about $1100 fitted.

Ignore the disclaimers on the offical BMC website not recommending for road use, I emailed the marketting manager at BMC in italy, they have the disclaimer on their website to cover their buts for being sued by certain countrys that modifcations are illegal.

p.s. I get 20-30 km extra on a tank of gas as long as I don't plant my boot :D

Supplier rang me Monday morning, Coby chromed extractors just arrived, they told me installation could happen today, am currently driving the work car, perfect time to get my baby worked on, could not get time off too dyno before installing extractors, couldn't wait till weekend to dyno, sorry. Planning to dyno this weekend.

Supplier installed extractor and a big resonator at the same time. I took it for a drive tonight, am stoked with the results, performance increase is awesome, sound is perfect and delish :D No drone in the cabin at 100-110 which I was getting before mod.

Dude, they are stock standard Coby extractors designed for a skyline RB25DE, wicked, no mods required. Only found 1 website with specs, website nolonger working, copied data below, even attached a piccy.

1986-98 Nissan Skyline RB20 2000cc SOHC. 1 1/2" Primary 1 5/8" Secondary D6 234.82

1989-98 Nissan Skyline R32, R33 - RB20, RB25 DOHC. 1 1/2" Primary 1 3/4" Secondary 2" Outlet D12 279.45

Got extractors for $300, chromed for $100, they put in a massive coby resonator for $80 as well, my cars quieter after the mod, labour+misc bits $120, excellent investment, looks good too.

I've got the same extractors on my 32. The main thing I noticed was the increase in torque going through 3000 RPM, when before things were pretty quiet untill 4500 RPM.

Talk to Advanced Imports in Sydney if you're after them Greg, as they can get them through their Auckland store. I bought mine when I was in New Zealand for $280 kiwi.

when u say stock standard do u mean that its the same as the factory one

It's not stock standard like a factory one, quiet the opposite :D

Big shiny pipes, very nice. I meant that it just bolts on.

Photo's hard to take of extractor, lots of stuff in the way damn it, will have another crack at it tomorrow night, have a meeting with a dyno Thu night after work.

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
