Nismo Air Inlet Piping

Just curious, why do the group A R32 Gtr such as the Calsonic and Gibson motorsports have the hard pipes then? I thought the hard pipes gave less flex compared to stock rubber and had better merger Y pipe before going into intercooler?

Do the twin turbo pipe mod for $100. Put the other $1800 elsewhere... Like a front diff.

If it's good enough for 470 kW on -5's it's good enough for you.

The value for money here is NOT worth it, especially early on.

Waiting for you to sell me your modded twin turbo pipe LOL.

Come and get it. $150. No need for it anymore.

Race cars are ALWAYS bad examples of what to do on a street car when driveability comes into question

OK, so recently installed the Nismo inlet pipes on my car and thought I'll post some thoughts. First of all, it's very shiny, does give the engine bay more bling. It sounds slightly louder with air rushing in, could also be the air box without the snorkel as my attempt to melt the stock snorkel to fit back failed miserably.

Now I've only given it a bit of drive so these are only initial bum of the pants fell. Couldn't tell much difference under 4000 rpm, but from 4.5-5k and higher it does seem to go a bit harder, maybe a tiny increase in power but not a massive difference. Checked the ebc and boost seems to go a bit higher. My ebc is set to 19psi and can overboost some time to 20-21psi. After the Nismo pipes the peak shows 22.3psi, so I think boost has gone up maybe 1psi after install. Didn't notice any turbo shuffle on my -5s and my car is mildly tuned to around 310-320rkw.

Now before people flame me, like I said these are only initial thoughts, I will be going to dyno the car soon so hopefully will be able to see if there are any actual differences at all ( will be on same dyno ). Is it better than the modifed twin turbo pipe? I don't know, could've net the same gain if any, it certainly looks better thank stock pipe.

So in conclusion no real negatives (on my setup anyway) besides a burning hole in my wallet. If anyone is interested I might do a write-up with photos.

Thanks for the info baicai, I just bought one of these pipes. Looking forward to your results on the dyno.

Would love to see a back to back...

Would love to see a back to back...

Probably extra 5kW gain, works out about 1kW = $400 lol

Yeah back to back be good, make sure the ambient temp is roughly the same both days and tyres are inflated properly.
