Finally received my Top Secret full intake kit (thanks to Henry at RMSMotorparts who sources all my JDM stuff)

Got my Zele skirts too but there's plenty of pics of those floating around

.... the Top Secret intake and turbo inlet pipes not so much

Intake pipes are 65mm going into 60mm turbo inlet pipes

I've downloaded a few diy's for the inlet pipes and it looks like a knuckle buster, not looking forward to it

agreed, always been a fan of Smokey's cars

my build will be solely Top Secret engine side - intake, ti intercooler piping, high flowed oem turbos......

Nice!

Looking forward to see the results.

Big respect to Smokey Nagata along with other big garage names ie: Mine's / MCR / HKS, just to name a few.

yeh the filters are from HKS but the cf makeshift airbox is TS's own work

most of the aftermarket inlet pipes end up looking all pretty much the same

Yes it was more my point that Top Secret have be re-branding HKS parts for years (same as Mines).

It's a great upgrade and one of the biggest restrictions on the earlier GTR so hope you have a nice tune to match for maximum gain.

You name by any chance isn't James is it? Can't wait to see the titanium I/C pipework.

Cheers

Marty

no not James

i dont mind if they are re-branded, the TS were a good 250 bucks cheaper than the HKS kit with their drop-in filters (which im running atm)

makes sense now then why they're using the hks filters

Martin has provided me an e-map for the intakes + midpipe, but i have a full 90mm ti exhaust setup in the air atm, so ill have to do some datalogging and get a new map done

i have to learn how to use the datalogger on the cobb

installed intakes today, fit of the airbox and piping was spot on

have gained some welcome turbo spool and some bov sound letting off at high boost - will be alot of fun on cold nights up in the hills, well worth the price imo, and the cf shroud around the pod filters should provide some level of heat soak resistance stuck in traffic

seriously considering some gfb hybrid bovs now to get some more bov sound at high boost

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
