Cold Air intake on R33

[Zer0]

Ok was going to run my cold air intake through one of the stock intercooler holes when I got my front mount cooler but the pipes for the one that I got still go down through the standard intercooler holes. So....

What is the best way to get a good cold air feed? Can another hole be cut near where the intercooler piping goes? Is there another way to get the air in there? What has everyone else done on their cars?

Thanks

I cut mine on the inner guard. The vertical bit right in front of the air filter. It leads into the inner guard and only gets fresh air.

The only problem with this is that the air isn't forced into it, it has to suck through it (if that makes sense??)

that's what I did to mine ,you get quite good airflow through there. You could close off btween the inner and outer guard around the wheel side of the cutout that might pressurise it a bit.

I still have the stock inlet in place except I swapped it for a GTR one. Eventually it will be sealed into the top of the cold box

Has any one thought about a different air box from a different car and then plumb a cold air intake in to that?

Apparently the Skyline Airbox is pretty bad for airflow which is partly to blame for its style of intake which is a bell mouth.

Apparently according to autospeed the VS V8 cold air intake without the snout is the best flowing airbox up to the date of the test around.

I am going to look in to it as I don't want a pod filter showing.

Another way that I thought of is to use the std air box as a dummy remove the filter inside and adapt a type of mandrel pipe or silicon hose and then mount the pod filter high up in the inner guard.?!?!?

It would still look like a std air box just with piping on the inside which runs to the inner guard where a pod filter sits.

Might get a bit wet but... maybe make up a few little baffels or somthing..

i got the best way ..... Remove the left headlight !! ...

but seriously there is lots of placs you can feed air from.

What im goin to do (when i get off my ass) is cut a hole beside the ic piping hole somewhere and make up a tube that will take air from the bottom left of front bumper ( end will be flared) and go through the hold and finish with another flared end near the ram pod ..
