hey guys,

i was wondering whether anyone else is having issues with getting the filter box to close properly with a K&N pannel filter in there?

the mechanic told me that they are a little thicker than stock ones that is why i cannot get all 4 clips on, i can only get 3 on.

its on a R32 GTR btw.

i find it was really hard getting the filter in there as the top lid doesnt open very much and there is only just enough room to slide the filter in with a bit of force.

anyone have any helpful suggestions?

A little bit thicker then the stock ones?

I'd assume K&N panel filters where high flow and it should be thiner...

You installed it correctly?

If K&N designed it and does not fit well, I'd get another band of panel filter.

apparently its normal for the air box not to close properly. my mechanic told me that he has to trim back some of the rubber so it seals properly.

i have heard the same thing from 2 respected mechanics who know their way around GTR's so i am not going to worry too much.

gotta love the change in note when changing from pods to stock air box. i love the deep roar now opposed to the pshhh noise from the old FOAM pods!

go the stock engine bay!!!

yeah the standard airbox is painfully tight - and some aftermarket filters are a little large than stadnard which makes it even tighter.

to get the clips on, 1 hand to hold the clip almost on, the other tap lightly it with a hammer to click it on

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?

      I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk

      Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      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.
