Relatively simple question, to which I fear there is not simple answer.

Anyway I have an R32 GT-R. Usual bullshit mods including pod filters & an oil cooler. Anyway I want to get cold air to the filters & have pretty much run out of room. My questions are two fold.

1. Does the R33 CAI fit on the 32's?

2. Has anyone managed to fabricate themselves something workable without hacking holes in the bumper etc.

Maybe u will have to bite the bullet and cut a hole or two under the air filters, and feed air up from the passenger side of the bumper.

This works pretty good on gtst's because there is room when u fit a front mount to run a pipe of some sort up to the pod.

It probably wont help you but i think the gtst standard air box gets its "cold" air from a spot that will actually be cold. Failing that ill probably cut a hole and mod the bottom of the airbox so it can feed directly to the bottom of the panel, and not so much tru the snorkel thing.

I can't use the area under the filters because the oil cooler is in there. It dumps plenty of heat. The most of the other areas in the front of the car are plugged full of intercooler, oil cooler, air conditioner heat exchanger, radiator, power steering radiator....

yeah I have the same problem and no easy answer. about the only one I can think of is remove headlight and have headlight duct. I have the same problem. big oil cooler in passenger side duct means no chance of getting air from there.

Baron, if I asked nicely could you see if your 33 CAI fits onto the top of the radiator in the 32?

I still use the airbox, I was going to cut a hole through bottom, and get some flexy pipe shit, and put 1 end into the airbox, and the other near the big hole in the front bar (to get away from the oil cooler)

I can't use the standard airbox - the AFM's won't fit.

Even then I can't see a spot for any flex piping as there aren't any spots left other than over the top of the bumper. I really don't want to hack holes in the thing.

perhaps move the bovs, from the drivers side and put the oil cooler there. bovs could find a new home in the engine bay perhaps.

or remove the ac(but keep the heater) and u might be able to get away with the oil cooler between the radiator and intercooler.

ac is overrated ;)

what oil cooler do you have? I have the trust one, and it sits a fair way back. I havn't measured for piping yet, but from a glance it looked like it would fit. but if you could fit a pipe through, i'd imagine that it would make a diference to your air temps even with pods.

HKS.

There may be some room to the centre of the blanking plate.

yeah no worries. actually I need to update my profile sort of. my silver 33 GTR was stolen, but I have another one which was just loaded onto a ship today. will be here in 2 weeks. I'll check then.

I got a hold of a stock airbox for mine to get rid of the pods. I'm switching to an apexi pfc with Z32 AFM's. Bolt holes are different but all I did was mark out new bolt holes, drilled em out and fitted longer bolts with locknuts on the back.

Just have to cut new intake pipes to turbos now when I get back.

Well that is great, but how do you get cold air to the airbox?

.............I'll get back to you on that one!!!

Seriously, my oil cooler is on lhs now, I used to have a smaller one on the rhs, in front of recirc valves(pipes removed). So I was going to open up the front of the box, duct in from below headlight, and divert some of the intake air from the lh lower intake(split it from oil cooler).

Have I lost anyone???

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
