i am building a cold air box in my 32gtst and was considering the option of a bonnet vent instead of feeding air through the front bar, would this mean i would have problems in rain ? was thinking out putting an R34 GTR V spec II vent on

gunna photoshop some pics to see how it looks but cant find any decent pics of the real thing :ninja:

anyways yeh, would water gt on my pod, and this would be bad right ?

Rain is gonna get in what ever you do if driving in bad weather.

I'd go front bar vent...

1. Build a rain trap in the induction pipe.

Straight pipe tee'd or Y'd off to the air box,

dead end the straight bit of pipe about 6 inches awat from the T or Y

Water is heavier so wil carry straight on the easiest path.....i(e) the dead end.

It will hit the dead end,so put a small hiole in the dead end at the bottom edge to drain water away, via a drain pipe/ tube or just leave the hole to draining away to outside the body obviously

job done....

...some water bourne air will still carry on in to the airbox, cant be helped...bit like cheap water injection...LOL

2 or just plug the air inlet pipe in bad weather, and take the lid off your air box.....your not going to be road racing in really bad weather anyway.

The Hood Vent looks very cool

But it is in turbulent air...as it hits the grill and lights air curls over the front and is not ram air style as the Front Bar would be,

The hood vent would need to be further back to avoid the turbulence IMO

it may not get as much as a ram air fed system.

it still gets alot of airflow through that vent.. the airbox will seal against the bonnet and a custom pipe is going to be made that feeds air straight to my turbo's. as i dont need my AFM's anymore.. it is trial and error at the moment but i think it will be sufficiant.. gives quite an induction noise thats for sure...

*edit* yes water gets in if it rains...

      Not stock. All remade. Mostly looks stock because the pipes run to and from the standard holes in the inner guard to get to the return flow FMIC. I'm not sure which question you're trying to ask, because it seems like "stock position" vs "stock position".

      Hey, it's a GT-R, it's just as significant a moment as mine😁 It's not ideal when things are uncertain; I'm the type of person that always has a set plan for things in life so being unsure of this plan puts me in a weird place mentally.

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card style AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had no flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
