The most important aspects that the greddy intake kit addresses are the cold side merge before the FMIC, and the tendancy of stock intake (black rubber) to partially collapse and restrict intake.

The intake path is also much smoother for airflow.

Strangely the fixing the merge reduces turbo shuffle but on AFM setups the smoother intake of the hardipe kit has been know to increase it!

If you have a 33 or 34 I would personally recommend keeping the stock airbox, and either modding the stock twin turbo pipe or lashing out on the nismo item.

Intake to airbox can be firmed up be KTS hardpipe kit or one of the reinforced silicon pipes floating around.

For me on my 32, I scored the greddy kit cheap second hand and because I was changing to MAP I could ditch the poxy foam filters for some (larger) quality K&N items.

For the average punter I don't think there's any noticable power/response changes, but intake noise is much more noticeable as is OEM recirc/bov... this is a pro/con depending on your preference.

Update:

Installed Tomei dumps this week ( Bought HPI dumps but couldn't fit on my R34 Gt-R, 15mm too short, would only fit R32/R33 apparently) and "hi flowed" the twin cats of my Nismo exhaust.

Result:

Couldn't tell that much difference, low to mid range was still laggy like before, not much untill 5k rpm. The pick up might be slightly better but can't say for sure as I've only driven it for a short while.

Best thing gained it now shoots little flames on soft limiter cut. Will be installing intercooler hard pipes next week, hopefully this will make more of a difference.

twin cats?

why 2 of them?

I don't want the one I got already lol

who tuned it and what they say it could be

Twin cats because it's a Nismo exhaust twin 2.5 inch into 3, still saving up for a bigger exhaust, so this will do for now. Car was previously tuned by JEM and will be on the dyno soon once all the parts are in so hopefully a tune will fix things up a little.

Doubtless been asked and answered but what boost controller do you have. Need to be sure the wastegates are shut unless you need them to be otherwise.

Boost controller are profec B II, not too sure how too adjust it, so gonna leave it to the tuner.

Hpi dumps not fitting is news to me. I bought some that were originally on a 33GTR, bolted straight up to my 34GTR setup (GTX2860's now -5's) no problem.

You sure they didn't try to fit them back to front lol?! as they are different for front and rear.

Shit son, haven't heard from you for a while

Bought it from just jap, even they didn't belive me. But putting stock next to HPI and Tomei you can see that HPI was a bit shorter, unsure why, so they happily swap it for me.

Update: Car has been tuned and dynoed.

First run: With only thing changed to the car being tomei dumps and 'high flow' cats. Not much difference at low and high revs, made extra 4 kw at peak, this could be due to change in temp or other variables. But did gain some mid range torque and peak boost happening maybe a bit earlier, nothing spectacular but the dumps and cats did make a small difference.

Second run: Now installed with Nismo hard pipe and Nismo 100mm intercooler, 1000cc injectors, 450L fuel pump. Peak power gained of 17kw to 313kw atw at same 19psi. More power and torque across the rev range, biggest difference is peak boost happens at 4550 rpm instead of 5000 rpm.

Drive: Car definitely feels more more responsive and pulls harder, response is still a bit slow compared to stock turbos but it's much better than before.

Cost: $1000 for every 100rpm of response or $300 for every kw gained, f expensive.

Conclusion: I think we are half way there, next on the list will be bigger exhaust and turbo inlet pipes.

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
