Twin turbo pipe mod should be done regardless.

Has been done.

I'm assuming nobody has ever done a dyno test to prove that intake piping mod has any benefit, despite it being obvious that there would be "some" benefit.

Another way would be to check the pressure inside the airbox on the "outside" of the filter. If it doesnt dip much below atomspheric at full noise, then the duct cant help. You'd have to plumb in a gauge feed tho.

I'm wondering if that's what Nismo did?

I have no idea how shady a business they are, but you'd have to have done some testing before claiming what they have.

"Reduces Compressor intake pressure by 30 percent at the moment of boost pressure, also decreases air-path pressure"

And call me stupid, but what does that even mean? Does that mean that a pressure gauge was put in the airbox and at the moment boost comes on the vacuum in the box was less because air was flowing more freely into the airbox?

You could say that changing the panel filter for a more free flow design would also have the same effect.

It does, the ricer in me loves it.

I like the Mines carbon one more, but this one I could potentially bring myself to cut in half so I could give it to a Fibreglass place and have them make a mould.

Do you guys think there'd been any interest in a replica?

Not trying to justify anything, I like data where available. There area ton of things I could buy because they're pretty but I tend to prefer function over form (where I have to pick one or the other).

If I can have both then that's nice too.

But if you like the look of it then buy it. Don't try and justify bling with performance figures

pshhh shows what you know.

Every nismo item adds 10 killawasps. Everyone knows this.

I'm pretty sure the kill switch liter is worth an extra 30kw btw. Awaiting data from the tuna....

    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia body...
    • This. A 3d wheel alignment is like $120...just take it to the shop. Since theres probably multiple adjustments that need to be made after changing something. Mine has front/rear lower arms, traction rods, tension rods, camber arms, toe arms, front upper arms, hicas kit, sway bars and coilovers. I measure from the edge of the bolt holes on the originals and set the same length on all the adjustable stuff to dial it as close as I could to OEM. Took it straight for alignment; it didnt feel right at all...after alignment, it feels perfect. Similarly i've just changed the springs on another car; and I still needed multiple adjustments to bring it back in spec.
