Why don't you think the airbox counts as an intake mod?

The rules state, only one intake mod is allowed. If you've changed your cooler, you must have the standard airbox. Granted it might be harder to dick you for it given it's an airbox, but if a cop wants to be an ass about it he/she will get you for that IMO.

Isnt it still class as a airbox tho? so can still have 1 mod to intake (cooler)?

Is it factory? No.

an arc airbox if f**king awesome dudes.

definaely worht the cash i spent getting mine. i have had a few different intake setups (stock airbox with upgraded panel filter, apexi pod on a 3 inch metal intake pipe etc) and the arc is the only one which u actually notice the difference over the whole rev range it is more responsive.

ive been pulled over many many times with it and never had a problem however petit is another story lol

How much power are you after, in my research i have found that the standard gtr airbox is good for 300awkw any way (some say closer to 350).

Ive got 350kw. Thats all im after, no need for anymore, just want cooler air going in. With the bonnet im looking at it has a vent right where the arc box has intakes.

Legally expensive :ninja:

But worth it if you have the dosh...

Actually, near impossible to tell unless they go ripping your front bar off, but it's still technically an intake modification replacing the standard side mount with an ARC...

Not that I don't believe you but I'd really like to see dyno graphs to back that up. Not being a smart ass here, actually being serious - do you by any chance have any? I've often wondered just how much difference, if any I'd see.

ARC coolers are rad, I had one (and still have a damaged but air tight one for an R34 GTT in my roof). Not sure what you mean about legal, unless you mean the factory mount replacements, which yeah - you'd get away with.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
