well ive tryed over the weekend the benefits of pod in engine bay vs pod under guard.

Results as below:

In engine bay:

* Poor response

* Lacking in power

* Sucks in heat and dust

Underguard:

* Very Excellent response

* Feels like more power

* Some signs of elements(water, dirt) being sucked in but very minimal.

So under the guard is the best form of cold air especially if you feed the cold air to it.

hope it helps

I used 2 pieces of 45degree 100mm PVC pipe

Cut a 100mm dia hole underneath my stock R32 Airbox and pointed one of the 45degree 100mm PVC pipes towards the front of the car.

I connected the other 45degree bend in to the 45degree bend that points towards the front of the car so it points in to the air box.

Then with the dremel I slowly chipped away at the lower half of the air box.

Looking in to the engine bay it looks very clean and stock.

Wouldn't pick it unless you went for a VIS as cutting any metal is illegal.

If I ever go for a VIS I will have to replace the dogleg (i think its called) or maybe just slap a piece of painted black plate over the hole and pop rivet it in so it doesn't stand out.

If its intercooled, why the need for cold air intake? Doesnt the coola bring the temp back to around 20deg anyway??? :confused:

It couldn't possibly make all that much difference unless its boosted beyond what the coola can handle. Could it??:confused:

:uhh: You seem to be overlooking the amount of hot air that will be taken it by pod filters if not properly shielded.

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛

      Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
