Hey guys, so apparently I need a metal intake pipe as the stock plastic one is too small and can collapse under pressure with the new, larger turbo (ATR43SS). Wondering if anyone's done a DIY using silicon joiners and steel piping and would like to part any feedback. Also wondering if the return BOV and breather line are essentials ? Or can I simply make the intake, block the BOV and get a catch can to bypass the issues ? Thanks for any information.

It's on a rb25det pod filter setup

Search for 'Scotty's metal intake' on these forums or PM scotty nm35. He's made hundreds, they're cheap, have all the breather and pod adapters and are great quality. I run mine on a very similar set up to yours by the sounds of things. I have pics if you find my build thread

I've spoken to Scotty, but considering he's in Melbourne and im in sydney it would be a little hard to ensure right specifications and stuff. What do you guys think of blocking the BOV and getting a catch can to get rid of the lines into the intake ?

I'm in Sydney. Seriously just get him to make it and be done with it, he's made hundreds for people on the forums, if he couldn't ensure 'the specifications and stuff' don't you think someone would have mentioned it?

His specs are spot on, all my breather lines and BOV return fit perfectly with no mods and it works perfectly. Don't make this any harder than it needs to be

Truthfully, get Scott to make one, and then alter your setup to make it fit right IFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF it doesn't.

It will be far easier and a better solution to do it that way, and re-adjust your setup to fit the scotty pipe if there's some part that is out by 2mm here or there.

Hrm breather line and bov return needs to be cut, there's no way around it unless you use a soft intake pipe

Correct, otherwise the BOV/Breather hardpipes would somehow be inside the intake and facing the wrong angle causing AFM reversion.

I tried to make an 80mm intake that would look as stock as possible using all the stock parts. Seems to flow well too, ^^ Gregs made very good power yesterday, using the stock airbox. :)

Got your graph up yet mate? I think you made more power though one of my rb25 80mm intakes intakes than anyone before. Usually I would be suggesting a 4 inch with pod by now, but it wouldn't look stock at all. Your car is about a stealth as 400+kw gets, and it's auto... Blows my mind what Ethanol can do. :P

      V35 Overheat + Coolant Boil & Overflow + Engine not Starting

      By carnoobb · Posted

      Hey all, my 2004 Nissan Skyline 350GT overheated the other day with coolant boiling and leaking out of the coolant reservoir when I was parking. So today, I started it up again just to see if it was a thermostat/head gasket issue. After about 20 mins of running, temps were normal again, no coolant was leaking out and the upper reservoir hose was warm but my engine suddenly cut off. I checked the oil dipstick and cap when it was running and there was no white foamy residue and the exhaust did not have white smoke. I tried starting up the car again but it would only crank, similar to when I had a camshaft sensor issue just that now there’s no check engine light on the dash. Any ideas? Unfortunately I don’t have an OBD2 that can read the Nissan's programme.

      Rb head oil drain dimensions

      By Papichulo96 · Posted

      Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By Zabuza · Posted

      Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.
