considering swapping to an apexi pod but not unless I can sort out some sort of enclosure. I've found enclosures for sale but they are just simple boxes and have no CAI provisions

I've seen posts here of pod enclosures that make use of the stock snorkel for cold air intake .. does anyone sell such an item for an R34 GTT ? I need something that will fit with stock IC piping as I don't have a fmic and make use of the stock snorkel

not gonna bother trying to manufacture one myself because it'd take me ages unless someone has the right measurements etc already.

Ive never seen one with provisions for a snorkel... I just bought an alloy enclosure and I hear that the cold air from behind the head light is sufficient; its at least hidden away and not sucking in too much hot air from the turbo. Only way to get cold air intake would be to make an air scoop that runs from the factory SMIC air scoop and feeds the air from to bottom of the pod. I didnt go that far as you have to cut the metal and don't want hassels from police.

I've seen one of them on an R34 with the factory snorkel feeding straight into the pod enclosure ..just can't find the thread in question now. But I think it was custom made anyway..

Why not cut a hole in your box and feed it the factory snorkel or do you have a fmic and piping in the way now ??

i had similar problem, bought a CAI shield for my pod... and realised it didnt allow for stock FMIC piping

soo it started out cutting and testing and cutting and testing, but still turned out bad...

its very difficult to make, as the intercooler pipes pass through on an angle...and its not a perfect circle cut

i saw this recently... might help u in some way

    • Can't see that being a thing.
    • My fob has never worked, I once attempted to follow the procedure to re-key it, (I have other fobs for the car alarm thing in there). I actually have three of them. Do aftermarket alarms take over the pairing mechanism for central locking? Or do they piggyback off it? I suppose it depends on the system, right? I have four sets of keys/keyfobs. One definitely works, one I think works, one definitely doesn't work, and I have the OEM one that has never worked :p. Is this fixable/workable/whatever? I mean I know it's beyond "just clean it" but how *do* they get synced up?
    • It's actually a really weird comparison... the MX5 is on another level and I kinda question this comparison at all. It'd be closer to compare it to a GTI/Golf/Hatch anything that kicks around. NC MX5 with a turbo has the right to go up with and beat the FD RX7 or 180SX or any other JDM hero car. That's the comparison that would really ruffle feathers.
    • @MBS206 you need more shed in your life... What sort of car is your mates race car?  Hopefully he returns the favour when you're ready to get cracking on yours! None of my mates are into cars so I don't have to worry about that as a distraction thankfully.  I have enough other distractions so I don't need that one too!  Between working 6 days a week (5 1/2 really so 55 hours or so per week), both kids have basketball almost every week night (including Friday night in Melbourne - 2 hours away), my daughter plays netball as well, my sons footy has started now and I coach his under 14's side as well as I'm on the Footy club committee this year, I ride motorbikes every spare Sunday I can find, plus trying to be some sort of a husband.  Life is a busy little exercise at the moment!  I wish there were 8 or 9 days in a week sometimes!
    • Ha ha, that is very true!  I'm too scared to leave it in the position though, it tingles my balls seeing it like that!
