Already removed it, I am running 1.2 bar at the moment so I cant see it helping, just hindering. Anyhow thats just what I believe, I just think if it does work it would be on standard boost levels and if it works well then why dont they continue on with it with other later model cars or aftermarket ones being sold. Arrogent attitue to have, but anyhow can always put it back it if there are any dramas.

I looked at my z32 AFM grill today and thought to take it out as alotta people seem to but I thought the extra .5kw I'd gain is probably not worth the 1:1000000 chance a peice of anything falls in and goes into the engine. *shrug* Never know maybe a bit of your air filter or something.. It's just cheap insurance I guess.

yeah my cef has that in there i just left it there, it would be there for a reason, nissan wouldnt waste time to develop something like that for no reason, to me it seems similar to one of those hiclone things and it doesnt seem like its going to get sucked into the turbo cause its in there pretty solidly

I took it out and also had the gasket between the exhaust manifold and the turbo replaced as it broke, and have got a definite increase in power. More than likley I had leaking gas from the broken gasket costing me power. But I have noticed that the strange loud hissing noise gone obviously due to the removal of the device in the intake pipe. anyhow I am happy with how the cars running now.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...

      Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents

      I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.

      One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
