Nice work. I went down this track with my R32 about 6 years ago, saw that a GTS-t had holes there for the intercooler piping and thought, that'll work!

I did the same thing with the 90° bend facing foward down in the bumper duct, but because it rains so damn much in NZ my air box got quite damp and the mesh over the pipe was always full of bugs. So version two was developed.

If you still have a plastic inner guard you can do this:

I cut the hole bigger, into more of a rectangle shape.

Because the intercooler cavity in the bumper is a high pressure area (when you don't have holes into your wheel arch) the air will naturally go out any gap, the biggest and easiest of which being the one below my filter in the air box.

All the bugs fly straight into the inner guard infront of the wheel and the cleaner/drier air into my airbox.

Far simpler and less plastic bits to fall off!

Exactly your are right, I was thinking of doing same before as I stll have the inner guard, but since everyone is putting a pipe through, I was like what the hell......hehehe :)..........mmmmmmmmm well then if get any troble with H2O, this is the B plan :P

Cheers

Hi guys

please see the following link / post

If you have non-turbo and want to box your pod this clear case looks great and is easy to install

Pics included in the post and if you want more air forced into the case ive seen this case cut to include the original air intake that sits under the bonnet.

What do you think guys????

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
