Hi SAU members.

I remember posting one of these topics on my R34 GTT a few years back.

Now its time for the R33 GTST DIY install.

This thread is for people who want to specifically install an Apexi Power Intake POD filter and make a DIY induction box themselves to try and make the installation as "legal looking" as possible and reap the advantages of a greater induction air volume.

Watch this thread for the pictures and step by step instructions from airbox removal, to drive away.

(give me a few days)

Regards

Hang in there guys.

I've got the words and photos, and just need to finish off.

There were a few tricks along the way, but the removal and install took just a day, including the induction box.

Watch this space, and again, apologies for not posting the info sooner.

See pictures posted related to the oil catch can DIY install, and you'll get the idea of the final product.

Many thanks.

Jim

wow u put alot of effort in to that DIY nice job and the Induction Box looks the shit :(

just one thing could u plz plz post printable templates of the Induction Box so that others (me) can make it :)

but awesome job i didnt doubt u for a second ;)

Great Job!

Only thing i can fault is that the pods is of course, enclosed from the engine bay heat, but it lacks any sort of air intake.

The only cool air it draws is i guess around the headlight.

Might drop intake temps alot more if there was a feed of some sort, be the factory snorkle slotted in, or if a regular over the top FMIC was fitted, a pipe in from the bottom. :P

Other than that, fantastic effort!

    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
    • Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
