Do you have the attachment that connects the box from the RHS into the guard?

If its the same as the 34 GTR, there will be a cover on the inner guard side of this attachment. You can take this cover off to increase air intake.

Power level is 422rwks, on 19psi.

Just changed to bigger twins and want to chase 450+ rwks

Why does that matter??? I just want to know how to modify the thing

So you're making 422RWkw with a completely stock airbox? - Good to know!

Yep removed that already, anything else I can do? :)

Hmm I might be able to cut out a much bigger hole and a custom larger pipe into the guard :)

I found that the stock airbox was becoming limiting around 500rwks so I need to custom make something however still need to retain the standard appearance :)

Whats your current power level and mod list?

It may matter to you that Piggaz car has made a genuine 470rwkw with a standard box and NO modifications. So he MAY have saved you some time and energy

Trent's dyno isn't accurate, because it isn't in NSW. :P

Daz at this power level you won't get much help from these guys, how many have cracked 500 let alone on the stock airbox, piping and cooler?

The engine side of the gearbox you can modify that to accept a filter then modify the snorkle to feed air over it. It ain't a 5 minute mod though. I don't know the part number for the filter. Haven't gotten that far.

Also tickle the alloy pipes that bolt to the comp housings. I've sent you those pics before I think.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
