32 Gtr Standard Air Intake

[DS-ZILR]

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.

thanks crew

You are running pod filters therefore making them useless,

my say is to remove them

[Turbz_13]

i dont think you need it...like stated you have pods. and some people mount oil coolers in that place.

what about if you are running a stock air box?? i couldnt hurt to remove?

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!

yea i took mine off to i didn't know what it did seems pointless it don't really lead anywhere...

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.

yep, it's a resonator chamber to reduce intake/bov noise. you can remove it even if you still have the factory airbox. and with pods definitely remove it.

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
