Anyone Able To Make Me One Of These?

nice job man

have you got an intake routing air in from underneath?

edit: actually i see you're using the stock intercooler, which means you dont have a free hole for the intake.

do you think enough air is getting to the pod through that snorkel?

my theory is that the snorkel's mouth is hidden from direct airflow by the bonnet. so the only way to get air through it is if it's sucked in. that wont happen unless the box is well sealed.

Heres my go at it on a R33 ! Cant be much different for a R34 I should think !

Heres my go at it !

thats the exact kit i was on about....whatd you make it out of and yes, does it have an additional inlet?

PLYNx - thats a real good go at it mate - i like it.

Looks great PLYNX but like the others said get some ducting into it mate

Guys air is also pulled into it from behind the front head light. Still working on the side panel that isolates the pod from the engine heat. Reworking the panel as a twin walled partishon with fiberglass in between about 1cm apart. Not happy with pods though cause if any oil gets on your afm the computer reads it as rich and leans it down. Already lost one exhaust scroll that way on a mates car. Went so lean it began to crystalise the cast iron and cracked the hell out of it. Im working on a tripple stock panel filter box arrangement that fits inside the whole thing.

Yes at the moment stock intercoooler but I have a large front mount that plumps back into the original pipe work. A panel sits on top of the intercooler and dirrects air up into the snorkel

that looks great PLYNX

was thinking somtihng like that for my stagea using the snorkle, just to keep that stock look.

didnt have the brain power and patients for it tho, just did the standard box in the corner with air feed from below.

but for air feed, that snorkel was put there by nissan for a reason. so of course it must get air flow.

has anyone had trouble when washing the car. does the high pressure wash go up the air feed into the filter

that looks great plynx

can i ask how did you mould the top so the snorkel would fit i would love that style on my 33

cheers mid life crisis

Its pretty involved and needs a bit of reveres thinking. To make the bit that goes into the snorkel i got a piece of pvc plumbing tubing that fits into the snorkle. Cut two small pieces of the pvc and bolted them to a block of wood. Waxed it and fiberglassed around it. That gives you the oval that fit into the snorkel. Then you take the pvc tube and bolt it to the outside at each end of the oval and fiberglass the underside of the tube and that gives you the revere profile. So now youve got an oval with what looks like two half circles at either end. Then you take a sheet of cardboard and measure out the top shape, transfer it to a sheet of polypropylene( the same stuff that Maccas food trays are made out of ) fiberglass that with a thin sheet so its still flexable. Positon the oval on the lid on the car in the correct height and positon and lightly fiberglass it together. Once thats done build the ramp that goes towards the gard, cut out the underside of the lid so it will feed air from the snorked and the proceed to build up the fibergass to the shape of where the gard and radiator support is.

Thats the simplified version of how its done

Easy ! Well not really ! Just time consuming !
