just bring it down and I will fix it up.

I should post some pics of a r33 gtr airbox and some other bits n pieces I am doing.....mmmm nice

Yes please pics!

I want to get this done aswel

something like this to suit a twin turbo setup. ready for engineers certificate :worship: with something as little special inside.

fully sealed with k&n flat panel air filter inside above the 4" intake.

abs cover along with fuse box cover coming also.

edit - hose clamp on bottom of airbox is for display only, will have a silicon hose with clamps.

Looking good!

Does it use a common size filter? Like for example a holden/ford one?

Thats the big "thing" i hate about the ARC one ive got, filter replacements have to be ordered from overseas so when its servicing time, you've got to think weeks in advance or buy a set and just have them sitting around until you need them, the other thing is the width of the bell mounths but thats just personal. They look like they dont flow enough for big HP, so far on my car the filter has been sucked into the box on power runs, i wasnt expecting that from an ARC product.

A well built and big flowing airbox would be a great seller in Oz, even better with a drop in easily available filter (ideally not requiring mods to make fit)

Guaranteed this filter is not moving anywhere. It got this filter one day after is being ordered. K&N have huge local stocks. The jap stuff, I think, is a waste of time and not worth the price tag. The only mod required is a stanley knife to remove the rim to ensure the secure fitment. Not really a mod, just a 2-3 minute snip.

Bellmouth design can be varied but limited to turbo placement and each of them is different depending on the turbos being used, hence the "one-off".

This is more of a custom unit because I am modifying the inlet pipes to suit with only 4 holes for the mounts and the single inlet hole required to be cut.

Making them as a unit to sell ready to install is the idea, but this one itself is a bit of a one-off considering all the other mods to the car and the customers requests.

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
