Hi all,

It's the same old story- I'm using the standard R33 airbox but I've got a front-mount intercooler. So, no snokel for me.

I was considering buying something like this from nengun:

but I figure it would be cheaper (and quicker) to make my own.

So, where is the best place to get 100mm unlsotted (no little holes in it) ag pipe? None of my small, local hardware shops have it.

Cheers

Hmm, not a bad idea. Only thing is I'm not sure how I'd go about bending it to suit my setup and still maintaining the pipe diameter. Going to need to have a few bends- planning to use the holes from the old side mount intercooler to feed to airbox.

the stuff im refering to is ridged like the AG pipe, just in alloy. so it bends and retains its shape pretty well.

the one thing is how to mount it without crushing it as its stiffness is lower than AG pipe- but the benefit is its easier to get tighter bends.

still - even the normal ag pipe with small holes in it will provide additional airflow regardless, and less chance of water build up in wet weather.

Hi all,

It's the same old story- I'm using the standard R33 airbox but I've got a front-mount intercooler. So, no snokel for me.

I just replaced my intercooler with a blitz lm return piping cooler, just jap stealth intercoolers are the same configuration but cheaper.

bunnings, reese, burdens, (plumbing shops) will all have 100mm ag, in 10m rolls

-may be able to buy a metre or 2 from a plumber in the car park rather than buy a whole 10mtr roll

Purple Pig & pirtek, may have something similar but will be more $$$$

    • Use a 2' length of hose (that's 2 foot, not 2 inches) as a stethoscope to localise the source of the ticking. From cam covers? From exhaust or turbo manifold gasket? From injectors? From lower down in the engine? Etc. Use a timing light to set the timing. Put Redline Lightweight Shockproof in the box. It's not the very best thing for the box, but it will take a box that refuses to engage a gear with other oil, and make it engage a gear. I had to put it in when I installed the R33 box I have in my car. It would not select ANY gear when running. Smurf jizz made it work. That was >10 years ago and I still use it. I'm stuck with it now. Failing that - rebuild the box.
    • Well done Duncan. The fuel tank bulkhead lid is also in great condition (some of mine were stuffed). These are now out of production and good ones like that are becoming hard to come by.
    • Wow that's a steal, you've done well there.

    • Howdy all,   I had my rb25det S2 rebuilt and finally started it today but have run into a few issues  Engine sounds like a a diesel easiest way to summarise like small ticking, gets louder when revs are slightly adjusted  The engine builder repainted the engine cover leaving no where for me to go off with lining up the CAS so have it as central as possible so not sure it that could be affecting it?, changed the gearbox fluid too but won’t seem to go into gear when running, and only 1 to 4 when off having a hard time finding 5th and reverse anyone got any ideas or a base for me to start off? much appreciated
