Hi guys,

Just wanted to know if it is possible to cut the original bonnet to have a scoop/vent similar to those ones you see on the Evos?

I saw 2 R33 Skylines today with a air scoop sitting above the air filter. Which gave me a similar idea to do for my car as I still have the standar i/cooler and can't run a cai.

But I don't really like those hood sticking up (no offence), so just want to know is it possible to install a vent instead like the ones you see on Evos and even on R34s.

I think the r34 ones you are talking about are just part of the style of the bonnet - aftermarket ones. None of the factory bonnets have holes / vents in them...

But the Carbon Fibre ones like R34GTT-R's one have plenty of ventage :D

here's an example:

BTW, this car doesnt belong to anyone here AFAIK!

I think skylineakt was talking about a scoop for cold air intake rather than vents for getting rid of hot underbonnet air.

Sort of like some drift 180sx have the little intake above the headlight.

I think this would be a good idea, better than running a CAI from the front bar. I think ive seen a skyline with a nissan patrol turbo diesel intercooler scoop used for this purpose, but i cant remember where exactly.

Yeah, yeah. That's what I'm talking about. The little vent that you see on the eye lights of the 180sx. Like the ones on JMS 180 drift car.

I want something similar to that but cutting into the bonnet to get some cold air.

I just think that it looks cleaner than the scoop.

I don't think cutting the hole is the hard part, but getting the extra inverted vent to blend in with the pain/bonnet.

Anyone has any idea?!?

Sounds like you'r lookink for a NASA vent.... set into the bonnet rather than poking up above it.

If you want them on a stock bonnet you will need to have them

cut and fitted into the bonnet or find the ones you want and have them fitted.

lifting the rear of the bonnet is just a "rice" thing the base of the windscreen is a high pressure area ....so no good for venting hot air from under the bonnet.

Tell me then skylineakt, what have you seen on an r43? I know what you are talking about with EVO's, they virtually all have some type of bonnet vent but a 34? where? it must be aftermarket?

:shrugs:

I know no skylines come with bonnet vents, thats not what i meant, i meant an aftermarket CAI vent, like a NASA vent.

That way air goes into the bonnet not out like a bonnet vent like in the pic.

Ok I think the R34 vents I was thinking off is actually a heat vent, venting off the heat from the engine and not a CAI vent.

But it is the same vent but facing in the opposite direction. Like the 180sx headlight vent on the left hand side of the car.

Will it be a big job for them to mend one in??

Like with the paint etc??

i've seen a couple of different types aaron.

theres a purple silvia which has three nice cut outs on the bonnet above the filter which are meshed up. looks good. nothing above the bonnet or attached, just cut outs...

or at places like jr, jetspeed, they sell those vents u are talking about. you can get any body work place to cut the bonnet and mount the intake.

i was planning on doin one above my air filter using the ones that JMS sell. evo looking ones. i only want one above the air filter, not both, but they only come in pairs... :(

    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
