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

Jim (TR33GT)

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

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!

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
