Hello SAU members. I'm a newbie I guess, but only in relation to the present car. I've been a member as MYR331 and TR33GT before. The membership was with the last two R33 GTST's I've owned and modified.

I wanted to let people know (if you know already, thats great) that my son and I constructed an air intake box for our new car, and R34 GTT. The box was made for a grand total of $40.

I will be posting a few pictures of the thing here shortly (when its finished) but so far, it looks bloody good, and functions a treat.

The intake box was made out of a piece of $20, 2mm thick polished aluminum sheet (scrap piece). It was cut using a cardboard template made to measure to suit the installation. The box was trial fitted a few times, and filed / cut and adjusted accordingly. It is mounted over the HKS Super Induction pod filter upstream of the airflow meter, to two existing standard mounting points with 5mm high tensile steel bolts incorporating vibration mounts ($5 incl). The top was cut from the same scrap sheet, and is bolted to two outer "L" shaped brackets, again with dual high tensile bolts, which are easily removed to gain access to the filter and water reservoir.

It took my son and I one full day to make the template, cut and shape all parts, trial fit (5 times), and permanently mount.

It is being removed, painted, and vinyled up this weekend, and will attach the pics in the next post.

I just wanted to let people know how easy this is, and how good it can look in a decent engine bay, for $40. (our labour not included of course)

Regards. Jim (TR34GT)

LOL Hey Mic,

I only noticed the McCarrol ute about a dozen times on my way home last night.

Yep, the cars triptronic, and I do drive it as such.

Its been through a decent few years of modification until this time.

The finishing touches are only weeks away.

Catch you on the Pacific Highway, or at the next cruise.

Regards

not sure.. i havent installed it yet. picking up this weekend from a mate in newcastle. im hoping it doesnt affect the airbox.

I hope it's not affected.

I installed an HKS Superflow filter when the HKS FMI went in, and it is bloody noisy in the cabin.

This is the main reason why my son and I are installing the 2mm thick aluminium induction box.

The vortex noise "shooshing" is annoying sometimes.

Anyway......catch you on the street, and good luck with the install.

ps..........the 2000 model GTT is a shitload better than the 1998 model from what owners tell me. Good buy!

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
