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

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
