Uas 32gtr Snorkel And Alloy Airbox

[SLIPPERY]

hi guys

Just having a browse on the UAS website and came across their 'cold air induction' snorkel and 'UAS alloy air box' for the 32 GTR

Unfortunately there arent any pics next to the items.

Is anyone using either of these on their GTR? Or do you have any pics?.....even past experiences with these products?

For the price they dont seem too bad and if there is actually a decent and cheaper alternative to the ARC box that enable you to keep pods, then im all ears

Heres the link for a reference (nismo.com.au ->products -> intake and cooling)

Btw they list the airbox for $195 and snorkel for $250

cheers

I've had a look and if you check the site now, the pics should be up. The airbox looks pretty good, wish they made em in carbon as well.

where you looking for pics on the car?

[benm]

ick $450

I'd have a go at making it myself before spending $450 on an airbox + snorkel.

thanks for the replies guys. I wasnt looking for pics on cars, its just when i looked last night they had no pic next to the description.

it looks as though the snorkel runs from the front bumper slits and then up through the guard which would be just as effective as my set-up where ive run some ducting through the bumper slits, through a hole in the guard and into the front of a modified stock airbox which is a complete sealed system.

And youre right, the 'air box' is simply a cold air partition. thought it was too good to be true All though ill give it kudos, it looks nice and would do an ok job with a cold air feed whilst letting you retain pods

so where it stands : made my own snorkel and cold air feed for $25 (cost of piping)

Bought a GTR airbox to replace pods and modified for free $150

All up ive spent $175 instead of $445 plus postage and can sell the pods to cover costs. yay

Now the question is...would their costly setup be better? More people should give the stock airbox a chance

[GTRsean]

Stock airbox I put in mine is flowing 340kws worth of air atm with no mods to the box yet, or any ducting to it!!

[hanyou]

want to post up a pic of your modfied intake? haha im gna have to copy since im too poor for a $450 intake lol

[SLIPPERY]

i knew i should have taken pics while i was doing it

ill try to get some up tomorrow after work

[SLIPPERY]

heres the pics as requested...

you can see the ducting from the front bumper. I had to squeeze it through the little gap and lube it with some vasoline haha cause i couldnt be bothered taking the bumper off.

This ducting goes up through the guard and comes out in front of the airbox.

I had to hacksaw some of the lip off the airbox where the entry is. Where the plastic snorkel would normally attach to. What this does is give the ducting a straighter path into the airbox which keeps the diameter of the ducting at its largest.

i bought the ducting from a motor shop and its the Monza brand and is just ribbed convoluted tubing, about a meter in length. Approx 4 inches in diameter.

slippery, did you have to make some changes to the factory airbox lid to fit the Greddy hard pipes?

mine fouls the box

also see you still have the resonnator in the front guard - any reason?

[SLIPPERY]

the airbox doesnt sit as flat as id like it but the bonnet still closes

The airbox is also against the Greddy pipe but i have orientated in a way that both can be friends (ie. rotated slightly)

Resonator? Is that the plastic behind the headlight that the original snorkel plugs into? i wondered what that was. how do i remove it?

[SLIPPERY]

and to answer you question....nah, didnt have the modify the box for the pipes

[Ronin 09]

nah see in your second pic through the duct there is a plastic thing that looks like little squares of chocolate? that's the resonnator (see pic)

that runs up into the bottom of the airbox AFAIK and keeps intake noise down or something... lol

mine was full of water so we binned it lol

[SLIPPERY]

ohhh i wondered what that radiator type hose went to

i guess anything that saves weight is worth getting rid of.

Whats the best way to get to it? front bumper off? or go from the top?

cheers Ronin

[Ronin 09]

think it's a bumper off job... oh no

[SLIPPERY]

lol, well thats for next weekend i guess

I dunno why nissan bothered to cram more non-needed stuff into an already crammed bay...just to make the skins on our hands suffer

[ali-turko]

mate have u cut a hole for that piping

[SLIPPERY]

yeah and made sure to seal as not to rust.
