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.

    • You know what, I am enjoying your updates, but I have to say it is pretty poor form to walk into a shop that is paying for space and stock on the floor, try all their seats to work out what you are happy with, then buy somewhere else. If everyone did that the shop will be out of business with no opportunity for anyone to try a seat before buying. 👎  
    • Good work, and thanks for posting up your solution for future people!
    • Yeah mate that’s the plan, I just want something I can have fun in and work on during weekends.  There’s really only 1 road fit to drive the car on and luckily is been redone recently.  I do want to tune it next year sometime, no dynos here so I’m looking at an ECU that can be remote tuned. 
    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
