Nice work. I went down this track with my R32 about 6 years ago, saw that a GTS-t had holes there for the intercooler piping and thought, that'll work!

I did the same thing with the 90° bend facing foward down in the bumper duct, but because it rains so damn much in NZ my air box got quite damp and the mesh over the pipe was always full of bugs. So version two was developed.

If you still have a plastic inner guard you can do this:

I cut the hole bigger, into more of a rectangle shape.

Because the intercooler cavity in the bumper is a high pressure area (when you don't have holes into your wheel arch) the air will naturally go out any gap, the biggest and easiest of which being the one below my filter in the air box.

All the bugs fly straight into the inner guard infront of the wheel and the cleaner/drier air into my airbox.

Far simpler and less plastic bits to fall off!

Exactly your are right, I was thinking of doing same before as I stll have the inner guard, but since everyone is putting a pipe through, I was like what the hell......hehehe :)..........mmmmmmmmm well then if get any troble with H2O, this is the B plan :P

Cheers

Hi guys

please see the following link / post

If you have non-turbo and want to box your pod this clear case looks great and is easy to install

Pics included in the post and if you want more air forced into the case ive seen this case cut to include the original air intake that sits under the bonnet.

What do you think guys????

    • Clinton and I spoke to Alan Heaphy at length last year at the Bathurst 1000 about the Gibson GTR's that he had at the track and the restoration work that his company was involved with. He has a number of people working for him who were part of Gibson Motorsport when these cars were being built and raced. What impressed me the most was the amount of first hand knowledge and information that he and his team have about the Gibson GTR's and their meticulous attention to detail in the restoration and maintenance of these cars.
    • When you track RPM vs time it's clean, unlike the OEM one, even with filtering there are ripples. Means no random misfires or triggering issues at higher RPM, especially if you have big lift cams and a noisier valve train due to heavier springs.
    • Brake Fluid testers are cheap and readily available....eg https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/endeavour-brake-fluid-tester-rechargeable/SPO9539349.html
    • Cleaner signal so timing is more accurate at all rpm also found it to start more on first rotation but could also be I've nailed prime and crank fuel. For under $400 and 30mins of your time, its a good solution especially once the optical sensor does start to play up you won't notice it until in higher rpm and it heat soaks.
    • On a 400hp RB, what benefits other than "it's not 30+ years old" are you seeing from the NZ Wiring Kit trigger setup? If it were me going to change triggering, my belief would be to go for a crank trigger to remove the issues caused by what people claim is belt stretch etc, but that's from my understanding a much larger issue for super high power, rather than those in the 400hp and below club.
