pretty sure that the first bend of the piping is the original hard piping yes. BOV return has been welded up though!

Ah nice one! That was where i thought nah too hard basket. Pics or ban :D

Should have listened to you Manuel and Tao!

Had my car on the dyno yesterday and with the sleeved factory intake pipe it would not make more than 250rwkw as the part close to the turbo where it is still 2.5" is sucking shut. Bugger!!

Off to get a custom intake made up and back on the dyno.

i thought you said you made 279rwkw (in your first post)?

That was with a temporary custom 3" intake pipe. The problem is that it did not have spots for the bov return and the breather which I want. So then I tried putting the factory intake back on with the pipe inside. That is when it would not make more than 250rwkw and I know which just the 3" intake changed it made 279rwkw.

First setup:

Custom 3" intake, bov blocked off and breather hose to atmosphere.

279rwkw

Second setup:

Factory intake with pipe, all factory fittings so bov and breather connected to intake as per factory

250rwkw with intake sucking shut.

Next setup:

3" metal intake with bov and breather fittings.

What filter are you using?

Apexi Power Intake

Trent said he had seen some big power setups with this pod so didnt think it was a problem.

Ok I suppose its less prone to sucking shut near the turbo, would be smoother and seems to have more space around the fittings so that they dont disrupt flow.

Do these metal rings do anything?? This pipe is exposed to suction not boost. I would have thought metal rings on the outside of the hose would only help under boost, ie to stop it bulging out as much? The JJR one looks to just be a rebranded Autobahn 88 one. I bought one of the Autobahn ones a while back and wasn't impressed by the fit (or lack thereof) at all. No matter how I tried to trim it the thing just didn't sit right.

I have issues with power dropping off and then coming back above 5000rpm which sounds similar to the issue mentioned previously. I have a 3" piece of stainless in the large ID section of the standard intake pipe so maybe I'm having issues with the smaller end near the bend closing? I'm running 18-20psi with a GT2530 but only getting 200rwkw so somethings holding it back.. figure isn't on the intake side or the exhaust side.

Anyone else used one of these intake pipes with the metal rings? If so I'd love to hear about any opinions of what they have experienced.

The metal clip goes in between the ribs so if the pipe was to suck shut it would pull the ribs together and have to squash the metal ring, obviously there isn't enough suction to do that so it should work fine.

    • Z32 AFMs are 80mm tubes. RB26 AFMs are smaller. Just measure. Nismo RB26 AFMs have a different part number to original 26 ones. Probably also have a Nismo badge - but I don't know because I've never been near one. It's unlikely that they've been changed anyway.
    • Hey looking for pointers or experiences with indicator wiring/ common faults for the blinkers on the r31, I have a 87 silhouette and am having dramas with the blinkers staying on (not flashing) to indicate right,while trying to indicate this way the relay makes a constant noise, The front passenger side fender blinker is missing the harness connector to the bulb so is not connected would this effect the opposite side? Both rears work as they should, and blinker that stays on functions normally when on hazards instead of indicating, have replaced all bulbs,fuses and relay Cheers 
    • I’ll check the AFM’s and confirm. I’ve seen on another forum post years ago it’s identified with an orange sticker and larger diameter. Unsure if I can check the diameter without removing the air filter. Is there a way to identify if the AFM is stock? I’ve done a quick search and it looks like it might be a green sticker instead?   Will try check that turbo core tag. Looks like a very tight fit in there. Do you know what number would show if it was a stock T25 turbo? 
    • The car and the 33GT-R wheels look great. I can't remember if spacers were needed for these but the offset looks perfect for the GTS25t.
    • And the lack of ubiquitous availability. If it was less likely that I'd run out of fuel while trying to cross the crime zone, I'd probably be all over it.
