R34gtt Induction Box


Recommended Posts

Guest TR34GT

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!

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
