Hey guys,

I'm looking at buying a arc airbox for my 95 BCNR33.

Any opinions on them?

Are they a direct fit/no mod install item?

Benefits of having one as opposed to pods?

Power gains?

Intake sounds?

Best place to buy one?

Do any of you have one fs (preferable brand new in box)?

Let me know,

Cheers

I believe they are a straight bolt on fit to the Air Flow Metres.

The would act the same as a pod filter setup as the sponge filters are exposed.

(Unless you keep the stock air intake, feeding air to the ARC Airbox)

Power gain won't make a huge difference.

You might get a slightly louder induction noise due to the sponge filters being exposed.

You're are better off sticking to the stock GTR Airbox, as they can handle over 300+ kW's.

The stock 33 gtr airbox is great - I wouldn't change it, there is no reason to. There is an extra inlet into the airbox from the guard that is blocked from factory, open that up.

Having had pods before on a 32 gtr and driving it daily I wouldn't do it again. Temps get up too quickly and performance was quite changeable depending on air temp. An ARC airbox sucking from the bay would be similar, and I have heard of people going back from an ARC to the factory box. A scoop over the top of the airbox is just going get gunked up with dirt / leaves and potentially let water into your intake.

33's & 34's are much better than the 32 air box setup.

Look at Paul's 2.8 33 making around 470rwkw with a stock airbox:

Where could/would I buy one from and how much $ ya reckon?

If I got one I'd keep the intake and also get a carbon bonnet with a scoop over the top of the box.
