considering swapping to an apexi pod but not unless I can sort out some sort of enclosure. I've found enclosures for sale but they are just simple boxes and have no CAI provisions

I've seen posts here of pod enclosures that make use of the stock snorkel for cold air intake .. does anyone sell such an item for an R34 GTT ? I need something that will fit with stock IC piping as I don't have a fmic and make use of the stock snorkel

not gonna bother trying to manufacture one myself because it'd take me ages unless someone has the right measurements etc already.

Ive never seen one with provisions for a snorkel... I just bought an alloy enclosure and I hear that the cold air from behind the head light is sufficient; its at least hidden away and not sucking in too much hot air from the turbo. Only way to get cold air intake would be to make an air scoop that runs from the factory SMIC air scoop and feeds the air from to bottom of the pod. I didnt go that far as you have to cut the metal and don't want hassels from police.

I've seen one of them on an R34 with the factory snorkel feeding straight into the pod enclosure ..just can't find the thread in question now. But I think it was custom made anyway..

Why not cut a hole in your box and feed it the factory snorkel or do you have a fmic and piping in the way now ??

i had similar problem, bought a CAI shield for my pod... and realised it didnt allow for stock FMIC piping

soo it started out cutting and testing and cutting and testing, but still turned out bad...

its very difficult to make, as the intercooler pipes pass through on an angle...and its not a perfect circle cut

i saw this recently... might help u in some way

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
