Hi all,

It's the same old story- I'm using the standard R33 airbox but I've got a front-mount intercooler. So, no snokel for me.

I was considering buying something like this from nengun:

but I figure it would be cheaper (and quicker) to make my own.

So, where is the best place to get 100mm unlsotted (no little holes in it) ag pipe? None of my small, local hardware shops have it.

Cheers

Hmm, not a bad idea. Only thing is I'm not sure how I'd go about bending it to suit my setup and still maintaining the pipe diameter. Going to need to have a few bends- planning to use the holes from the old side mount intercooler to feed to airbox.

the stuff im refering to is ridged like the AG pipe, just in alloy. so it bends and retains its shape pretty well.

the one thing is how to mount it without crushing it as its stiffness is lower than AG pipe- but the benefit is its easier to get tighter bends.

still - even the normal ag pipe with small holes in it will provide additional airflow regardless, and less chance of water build up in wet weather.

Hi all,

It's the same old story- I'm using the standard R33 airbox but I've got a front-mount intercooler. So, no snokel for me.

I just replaced my intercooler with a blitz lm return piping cooler, just jap stealth intercoolers are the same configuration but cheaper.

bunnings, reese, burdens, (plumbing shops) will all have 100mm ag, in 10m rolls

-may be able to buy a metre or 2 from a plumber in the car park rather than buy a whole 10mtr roll

Purple Pig & pirtek, may have something similar but will be more $$$$

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
