Top Secret never fails to amaze. Even when there is little out there they haven’t done, they always manage to come up with original cars. Check out the VQ32 Skyline which was shown at the beginning of the year at the Tokyo Auto Salon. Gone is the RB26 and the AWD, replaced by a VQ35DE from the Z33 and V35. And if that wasn’t enough it pushes out almost 360PS in NA form! Look at the detail that has gone in to making the custom twin carbon air-boxes and the 6 throttle set up with gold trumpets!  
Now generally I’m not a Nissan guy, but damnit, TopSecret does it again. I love their cars.

Arc actually makes radiators too, that could be a radiator.

More interestingly, if you look at the underside of the hood you see that the bottom side of the scoop goes to the TBs but also to the holes in the CF on either side of the engine with the filter material in it. Very curious as to what this all is.

It is an ARC intercooler and the car is twin turbo… check out the ad on Top Secret’s site  
 ![](http://topsecretjpn.com/products/vq35parts.jpg)  
Unless they took off the turbos when the engine went in the car after the 2007 Auto Salon… then it still has the twin turbo set-up. None the less… Smokey knows how to build a sick car.

Yeah :rofl

How do you suggest the charge gets into the velocity stacks if it’s turbo :rofl

And those are probably relays for something, not solenoids.
