A fun weekend for cheap, it works well.

Not sure what a R34 is like , but i had a spare hole that was left from the fmic being fitted up

so made the hole bigger with a drill piece and managed to get a large 5inch i think drainage pipe (flexible) in there, was/is a bit cheap looking but must be doing a good job.

then make the box to go over the pod, :thumbsup: series 2 is perfect for this, massive area in that corner.

hey man, ive been down this road on my natro 33 for the gains its not really worth the fuss but if ur really keen this is my set up:

drilled a 3inch hole and mounted a 90 degree bit of black drainage pipe under it so it was facing forwar, then connected a 4 inch square collector to the front of the pipe.

i then took a peice of black tin and shapped it as an air scoop and connected it to.the fron of the collector and to the front bar. simple design and cheap :P

Nick, maybe a little something, if anything the throttle response feels a bit more crisp.

all in all a good panel filter should do just as well with the factory airbox and snorkel, but you know, add a good metal intake pipe, pod, heatsheild and CAI (doing all this properly, not half assed) and it will definitely sound a bit meaner and may get bit more flow.

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
