Nismo Air Inlet Piping

[iwantanr34]

Anyone have the nismo air inlet piping kit and r tune air cleaner on their r34 Gtr?..what's it like?does it sound any different?much of a performance gain?or more a nice looking shiny thing lol also is it necessary to adjust boost after installing?

Stock GTR airbox is good for 500kw, as is the stock paper element filter.

Sucking hot engine bay heat is counter productive.

^ as above.

Nothing more than bling really.

If you're talking about the polished Y pipes from turbo to intercooler, i've been told by a few that the nismo pipes increase responsive and gives slightly higher boost and reduces turbo shuffle. Theres a article in speedhunters that covers the part, haven't installed on my car so can't speak from first hand experience.

Sounds like you're talking about pods?

OP is talking about the Nismo hard pipe kit, which helps reduce shuffle and the r tune intake which is just a larger version of the stock over the radiator intake, again just a potential small gain and no negatives.

Can't see how either would suck in hot engine bay air if the stock setup doesn't do that already.

Hahahaha, this is way too accurate.

Hard pipes usually do the exact opposite - in that - they make shuffle far more pronounced/problematic. Particularly when running larger twins, stock turbos not a problem but upgrade to -5s or 2530s and you're in for a tuning headache.

So no, they are certainly not a good upgrade IMO. Plenty on this forum have even REMOVED the hard piped and gone back to stock ones for that very reason, plenty of posts about it. So definitely something that article fails to touch upon but then he's still running stock turbos... They should be the first thing you change, not everything else first.
