I've seen one in action on an R32 GT-R, and it's a lot of money for something that should be better designed. It has two inlets, and uses a standard-sized filter on top and a smaller one behind the headlight. The owner isn't that happy with it.

The main problem stems from the rubber edge on the top filter - as it heats up, the rubber stretches from the force of the suction of the filter, and when it cools it stays the same shape, so the filter never ever returns to the proper shape.

I think I have video on my phone, and can upload it to YouTube if you want.

Thinking of making my own to take 2 full sized panel filters fed by the snorkel and another inlet at the front fed through the spare intercooler hose hole.

i was thinking be preety good if you went with a after market intercooler and having that spare intercooler hose hole.. putting a piping down and putting pod filter in where the older side mount intercooler would fit.. cold air, suckin noise, but wonder about rain/water?

Honestly, the standard Skyline and Stagea airboxes flow plenty of air as standard, so unless you're chasing stupid power, there's no need to change it.

yeah i was thinking that stock air box with aftermarket filter is prob better... coz i was thinking the arc just be sucking in air from engine bay right? only lookin at 250atkw mark.. and having aftermarket intercooler would be giving engine cooler air anyway?

Personally, I've got a return-feed FMIC, and it uses the standard intercooler pipes, so the standard airbox is still in place.

Hey 
i know pretty much everyone has stated above that the arc intakes are overrated for what they are.
but i would prefer to run one compared to a pod for the police.
i have a s1 c34 n was wondering if any one here knew if a r33 intake box would suit?

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
