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:

fox i may be interested man. pm on my msn lol..im there its just always appear offline. hehe

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.

      R34 Series 1 And 2 Front Reo Difference?

      By LjB123 · Posted

      Awesome to know. I have a Series 1, and When pulling my front bumper off for the first time i realised my reo/crash bar was a bit worse for wear, and was going to try pick up a better one soon just so i can replace it. Someone is selling a full series 2 front bar and brackets for a decent price, so was going to probably reuse my brackets and install the new second hand reo/crash bar. I also have a genuine Altia body kit to do up, spray and put on, and not sure if that will use the series 1 or series 2 brackets for the front bumper, so having both will be handy, and knowing i can drill holes out to make stuff fit between series is also handy to know!

      R34 Series 1 And 2 Front Reo Difference?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I should also say that the while they are different the only parts that matter are the center headlight supports and center bar from S1 to S2. The center bar will work, but the S1 has holes that clips go through into the S1 bumper. So if you were super cheap you could simply drill the S2 bar. Same thing with the side/wings. They have slightly different 'clips' but can be made to work. The center headlight brackets however, cannot. This is also where the GTR differs, which has a different center bar, and different headlight supports (to either GTT system), it also has different 'wing' headlight supports which is what I am calling under the headlight. However those CAN be made to work with the GTT Reo for a GTR front bar by a small spacer and a drill/tapping a thread into the reo because the bolt positions are slightly different. So people only really need the center brackets to go between GTT S1, GTT S2, and GTR if you are happy to do some tinkering.

      rb20de neo +t conversion - boost pressure sensor needed?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      If this, then this You can't really get away without it. There are hacks that you can do in Nistune, but things are much easier with the sensor than without it. If you're not planning to Nistune the ECU, then stop right now and add it to your plan anyway, because the ECU is going to shit the bed over the missing ABS and TC computers that it expects to see, and you need Nistune to stop it chucking all its toys over the side of the crib.

      rb20de neo +t conversion - boost pressure sensor needed?

      By kindaruined · Posted

      hey guys, so ive done a complete +t conversion using mostly stock parts on my rb20de neo r34.  Im wanting to know if a boost pressure sensor is needed? Seems like the engine cuts out when i try to do a pull and I have a feeling its because a boost pressure sensor is missing. I'm using a stock r34 rb25det neo ecu.
