Ok so this last week i bought myself an arc induction box, you could definatly question the price of these things and if its worth it, but ive always wanted one and its legal

heres a crap pic of the engine bay before hand... typical china coolerpiping

So when i tried to fit the arc box in, my cooler piping was in the way...

obviously this was a problem!

so me and some friends decided to make custom piping, were metal fabricatos by trade s we thought we'd give it a go!

First step was to take off the cooler piping, install the arc box and then build from there...

Some 90 degree bends and a bit of straight

we forgot about the bov, so an old used t piece was required to be modified!!!

i wish i had pics of the bay before hand, its not finished yet, im yet to take it back to work and polish of the welds..

unfortunatly we did this at my house, we didnt have an ac.dc welder on hand so we just made the piping out of 304 stainless

it was my first shot at making custmo anything really, pretty happy with he end result, apart from having to use and old t piece that had already had random welds on it!!

if anyone decides they want to shove in an arc box in thier car n need help with the piping, me and my friend are more than happy to help!

Nice work.

But Every install I've seen has the filter element facing upwards, even the sr20 versions is there a reason it's on it's side? Or you did that to get more air into it? Notice any difference? www.performance-wise.com have copy versions at half the price...

well i figured that was the way it went... never really understood why it faced upwards...

i figure that when i finally get around to making the cold air intake pipe that goes right to the filter it'd be better?

I dunno as well just how I've seen them on rb's and sr's but since your able to get a cold air pipe it would work better, notice a difference?

I honestly dont see the point especially considering the costs IF its not enclosed ..might as well put a $100 apexi pod in there if it's just gonna be sucking in hot engine bay air. Is this at BelGarage by any chance??

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      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..
