Gday crew was playin with my car had the front bar off and noticed this. It looks like something to reduce intake noise some sort of plenum to stop surging noise out of the stock air box like falcon xr turbos have on the side of there intake. thing is i no longer run an air box just my pods. is there any point me having this gear in here still? or is it just wasting space?

In the pics you can see my set up and where the stock air box would hook up to the vent below the headlight, drop down under the car and into the box that is completely sealed actually has no opening aside from the pipe.

Anyone got info on exactly what it does and weather i need it now or not.

i pulled the box and connecting brackets off. then did a 180 with the elbow pipe so that it could collect some cold air from the front bar vent. From memory i did some cutting/reshaping of the end of the elbow to aid air entry.

yeah sounds like a plan. nothin like a cheap cold air intake!

Pretty sure the gear is for noise suppression for the BOVs (look at where the air channel runs to the drivers side and follow it along). They're still quiet enough with it removed. I run the stock airbox and have removed it to help with airflow.

Like teh Baron says it is a resonator.

But do yourself a favour. Use the remaining pipework to help get some cold air to the pods.

Works like this:

Beneath the headlight there is the air inlet which used to feed the stock air box. The resonator is connected underneath it.

Use this connection to grab some air fron the front left hand side of the front bar.

That way when you get sick of your pods sucking hot air from the engine bay you will have a ready source of cold, pressurised air. :(

im down like a frown with a clown! its like nissan said "hey we will put this silly box here to get rid of some lame noise but when people with pods come along they can turn it into a cold air intake, we are so crever!"

oh yeah :D

    • 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.
