I have a GTST Series 2 R33.

At the moment i have a pod that is lightly boxed. i also have a front mount intercooler.

Now there is a hole in the bottom under the pod where the standered intercooler piping used to run. I was thinking of running a decent size stainless steel pipe from the to the front bar and trumpet the end out....

A. would this work and give the pod enough air when i fully inclose it?

and

B. Who would i get to do that kind of work for me? Would an exhaust place bend it for me etc?

Has anyone done this to there 33 series 2?

Im in adelaide to.

Do you have a pic of it on ur car?

nah sorry bud. Its sits inside the bumper and sits right behind one of the holes.

Got a slight photo of it in the engine bay. I've got a stocking over it as I found it routed a lot of dust into the pod. I found this out when I took my pod off one day to find a nasty black patch of dust on it underneath.

I had some Pvc pipe lying around cut 2 parts of its one to go in the hole and the second to point out 2wards to draw in the hair put em into a 90o bend also pvc and just the standard intercooler pipin hole i just filed out with a round file mint 2 match the pipe lil smaller so the pipe sits in tight ,and a touch of silicon on the edge to give it a lil bit of extra strength.

Did the stocking help? One would think if you route more air to it, more dust will get on it :)

yeah i think so. Its pretty fine mesh. I'm yet to check the pod again though. It can't have made it worse.

Well its taking air from just above the road, so its bound to route some dust in :blink:

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      By PranK · Posted

      A little follow up here on the ceramic coating.  We've had storms galore here and I've done a few ks, enough to gross them up  Consensus is that they didn't get as dirty as usual, the coating definitely repelled a little of the dirt and I think they kinda snowball. They get a little dirty and then they get dirty faster which makes sense. Cleaning them regularly would allow them to protect better.  Cleaning was a breeze. I tried first to just hose them off which, unsurprisingly, did nothing. But, making the wheels wet and then just wiping them over with a used but clean microfibre cloth was all that was required. I didn't need any cleaner at all, just water and a cloth. The wheels look amazing again.

      Gave her a nice wash today and took extra time to clean off the tree sap and tar and crap. We have a usable garage now so she'll stay cleaner longer. Took a few snaps in some nice light afterwards.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      OK, solid mount Z1 diff brace is in, pretty straightforward, it picks up 3 diff hat bolts and ties them to 2 support bolts on the subframe. Pretty sure someone else on here said they had reduced axle tramp with this but mine was already pretty good for smooth wheelspin, and still is....will see you this goes over time and whether I end up with a broken rear diff hat

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.

      I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...
