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

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
