Hi all

I have a look under the half closed bonnet of my R34 and noticed that the bonnet almost shuts off all the air supply to the snorkel to the stock airbox.

ie. the front end of the bonnet kind of curls over the opening of the snorkel. By the looks of things, the snorkel is drawing air from the sides instead of directly the front.

Even at speed I dont think that the air is forced or rammed into the airbox in anyway, but rather the airbox itself is simply sucking air.

Is this how they were designed? pretty crap in my opinion.

I opened up the airbox and found no other air source! everythnig comes from the snorkel.

^^ wouldn't personally do that.. don't see how the air is going to be any better..

it's not about the air being "rammed" into the stock airbox..

it's about providing the airbox with a cool supply of fresh air.. I think you'll find the design is quite good and will draw cleaner, cooler air than a pod with no box...

why is the title " R33 R33 Airbox," when you've got an R34...

anyways.. as the turbo spools up, it's gonna suck in as much air as it can get it's hands on.. short of feeding it air from near the front bumper I don't get how the air is going to be any better..

I would also like to know, for a r33..

Seriously, if you have a look, theres no way air can get thru the snorkle.. Its like the bonnet, plus radiator support thingy blocks it..

I have asked the question on the net once, but ppl just said it does.. But im sure the enginerrs would have tested it when building the cars..

Everyones like, it goes thru the grill.. but its only a small gap..

anyone got diagrams or anything??

Coz im using snorkle to feed air into my heatshield pod box mr_crust made..

    • EDIT: Just a little info what my tranny is "doing" :   For the long time the trans do this "bad" sound:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qs_iTXgDt40 It is literally the same sound and same symptoms(when i push the clutch it quites down) So is it really the shaft bearing?   Also:  i found this on forums: The RB20 and SR20 boxes are nearly indentical inside (rb20 has longer mainshaft)and suffer badly from bearing and selector failures when driven hard   The bearing is true and selector failure kinda too...it is "harder" to get into gears specialy when i drive a little bit hard...
    • We will review wtf is going on, but if you made any donations let me know and i will follow it up with the admins
    • See, that button sounds like perfection Duncan! My eyes really don't like light shining at them from a dash when I'm driving. Being part red colourblind, I've found for most cars that I can change colours on, I set everything to red, so my eyes see the elast amount of colour! I miss normal gauges in cars
    • bro, knowing the Japanese in  the 90's, i wouldn't be surprised if they shared components across their model lineup.
    • Maaaan so many "little" things  i rly hope my old RB20 would be "ok" and not too bad. I try to learn what and what not do i need. I look at crossmember at it looks different...even parts numbers are different. Wiring and all that i rly do not know...yeah someone mentioned the speedo thing. On that yoke clip. I rly do not know what can and cant be done "custom" so that is why iam asking to know and not be suprised 🙂  I know what it looks like
