Its a Nismo Airbox, hence it fits with the Nismo piping.

You cannot fit airbox with HKS piping far as i know.

You have to use pods, which is going backwards unless you do some proper CAI/ducting etc.

Jumped on the nismo web site and could only find the air duct for use with the genuine oem airbox.. Anyone else confirm if nismo make a special box for there hard piping? Otherwise you must be able to use the standard box?

Looks like I'm going to have to go out and buy some hard intake piping and find out for myself.. :)

yeah there is no nismo airbbox. the nismo piping does not include the piping between the airbox and the turbo inlets. it's just the piping from the turbo outlets to the intercooler. it still retains the standard piping between airbox and turbos hence the airbox fits. the piping above is teh HKS kit which also replaces the piping between turbo outlets and intercooler but it also replaces the piping between the afms and the turbo inlets. for this reason it won't work with the factory airbox. your only viable option is have a box made around the pods out of carbon or alloy.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
