Started servicing today.. What purpose does the foam and grate on the underside of the lid for the airbox serve? Can it be removed?

I'll prob replace the crappy paper filter that was in there with an Apex panel.. So the better flow passage the better.

Cheers.

I would hazard a guess it for sound deadaning (got to somewhere) I dont see any reason why you cant remove it, but why not just leave it, it shouldnt be doing any harm...

If you have a look at the inlet of the lid you will see what I mean. Nissan put so much effort into the flow path design of the snorkel and then screw it up at the end with his lump of foam!

I'm thinking rip it out and maybe pop rivet a thin piece of angled stainless in their nice and snug.. Or just remove.. and leave

What does this POS do!... As soon as I get a definative answer its gooone..

Opinions pls..?

Took mine out on saturday.

made no difference to sound.

only plus side for me is that I could see ow much dust was in it and dirt particles under it.

so in went the vacuum cleaner tip.

Also blocked the bov bleed hole.

just take it out.

it's just for sound deadening.

      There are fixes for this. In industry we use compressed air for everything. It is frequently wet, and many things cannot tolerate it. So there are various forms of driers available that you can install. The simplest option for something like this would be a dessicant drier. Much cheaper to replace some silica gel than actuator cylinders.

      That's a solid update mate, well done at WA FOS. You may already know this, but the actuators on the paddle shift are a service item and are sadly not that reliable. As I understand it they collect water from the compressor (condensation) which then rusts the bores/pistons in the actuators. A mate of mine had no end of trouble with them in one if his circuit cars, apparently it's a 'known issue'. Buy a couple of spares at great expense to ensure you never have any problems with the ones you've got! Any clues about what the new WTAC rules might be? While faster cars are cool the Pro class arms race has got to the point where you wouldn't even bother entering without a $1m budget and even then I don't think you'd win.

      Question about R34 GTT A/T Solenoids

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      https://nissan.epc-data.com/skyline/er34/3945-rb25det/trans/317/31940N/ The pictures of the part you're talking about is clearly not just one solenoid. You can see another picture of it here: https://www.alltranz.com.au/shop/drivetrain/automatic-transmission/RE5R01A/product/9305/ The 4 speed automatic in the GTT is Nissan corporate stuff. You can search up similar jobs done on a Frontier or Pathfinder with a RE4R01B to get an idea for what the internals are going to look like and the procedure like this:
