Yeah helps keep engine nosie down.

Isnt that "bad"~? :)

but that "resonator" is so bloody hard to take it off....maybe I dont have the correct tool, or just the angel to unscrew it from the top is just bit weird for my arm. took almost 1hr to get it sit in the storage box

Not necessarily if you're keeping the stock box setup (which is quite good).

The stock box's airflow characteristics may rely on having the resonator there. The blocking/removal of it may cause unwanted turbulence etc.

I'm not 100% on this but personally i thought i felt a decrease in response when i blocked mine off. YMMV.

Yeah the sound you get when you take it off or have straight intake is the turbulence through the intake.

It then sounds "tough" :) but it slightly slows air intake and thats why we have them.

But if you have straight intake and high flow filters the gains out weigh the small losses you get from taking out the resonators.

I'm all for sounding "tuff" but why not have both if you're running panel filter, i.e. high flow panel and better airflow characteristics..unless you damn it all to hell with a pod etc haha.

I've got a high flow filter and z tube in mine with stock box and personally, i love hearing the engine whine etc more than induction noise hehe. To each their own! :action-smiley-069:

I've just got replied from the guy who Blistc bought from, he doesnt hav discounts price for GB~

"This particular item is actually something that we import. Due to this, we are unable to offer a group buy discount on it. We also do not keep very many in stock."

and this is how much he wants,

"The total for the part and shipping will be $151.15. This total does not include any taxes, duties, or other fees that may apply. The price is also listed in USD."

I might ask EVO-R for the GB price, thanks

Edwin,

Do you like the intake?

I purchased the same one on ebay. Several weeks later it still didnt turn up so i asked whats going on and it turns out that they ran out of stock, but never told me....

I got the Fujita instead. Much cheaper and uglier than the nismo, but it was available and came with a free energy drink, ha ha.

Installed it today and im quite pleased with the intake noise, sounds better than expected. I will post pics tomorrow.

May I ask why didn't you guys go with the JWT?

I was thinkin' btw the Nismo ( High price = high quality = branding for me! But I know it's actually AEM.... ) and the JWT.

I have a slight preference towards buying the JWT because of the excellent feedback of the engine noise is makes...

With the Nismo and Fujita, how would you all rate the engine noise?

PS I have never heard any of the above 3 intakes in person so am basing my purchase on the feedback of others.

I dont think there is anything special about the JWT.

I really wanted the nismo, but the fujita was next choice as i like how the intake tube is metal (aliminium?) and looks almost factory as its painted similar to the plastic engine cover. Note i removed the fujita sticker.

p.s. yes the intake noise is awesome. i dont think it will be too different to any other intake with an open filter.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
