I need the car at the moment to make a pipe up. I can make a jig off the next 34 that comes in though as I have been asked by a few interstate skyline owners now.

Is the airbox/afm in the same position on the 33 also?

can you make a 33 gtst one with out the car?

How much for one with the bov pipe and vent pipe, if its easier you can put the vent pipe on the turbo side of the intake as i run a catch can and the return hose comes out between the strut and the airbox.

No, I haven't made a jig for them yet as I wasn't sure what style people would want, It looks like most owners want the BOV return and breather plumbed in which adds cost and requires the existing steel piping to be modified. Best to drop around and get it custom fitted how you want it if you're local.

where abouts in melbourne are you?

i also forgot to mention that mine needs to be 3" both ends and fit with the factory intercooler piping, cant believe noboby makes a 3" to 3" intake pipe from any type of material!

I use 80mm usually which is 3 inch internally, you can just squeeze the 3 inch silicone over it. No problem fitting it in with the factory cooler piping and painted black it looks stock. I will definitely make a jig off the next intake I make, it shouldn't be hard to make a few up on the bench then.

As there is a vacuum created in front of the compressor, any restriction is amplified. The best option would be a large funnel bolted to the front of the turbo.

sorry i don't understand, the restriction is amplified?

So does that mean it makes it worse? Or is it the venturi effect?

It means you need the largest pipe possible into the turbo to give it the best chance to flow the most amount of air. Why stop there? These are the twin pods for an 800hp Supra intake I just finished. The airbox will get air forced from the duct on the front bar.

A Big thanks to Scotty nm35, he made me an intake pipe perfectly. If anyone in Melbourne's SE requires custom pipe fabrication, shoot Scotty a PM im sure he will be able to help. :P

Already helped him out mate.

So is it possible to get a 3" metal intake pipe with the 2 factory returns for an r33 gtst without seeing the car?

I've got a return flow cooler as well, so the intercooler piping is in the factory position.

It's not hard all skyline intakes are very simular when using a pod. I try and follow the strut curve then let it land about 20 mm off the headlight i can't post pics at the moment. I found no restriction by using 80 od or 76 od pipe I tested it on the dyno on my last car r32 rb20 with a td06. The main restriction is the filter but then it only made a 2kw difference with it off with a 76 od pipe. I have acces to all types of skylines my mates don't mind me borrowing them for a few hours. I can even make them to suite stock air box if need be. Also the oil breather hooked up always seems to cause problems with blow by I tested this as well on my 32 a catch can mounted level or above the breather will allow condensation to find the can but oil stays where it should be in the motor but when mounted between breather and intake it caused the can to fill up. I made the catch can set up for DVS jez drift car and it never has issues with filling up 3 full track days and it's perfect. When you start making 800hp + then pipe size may have a impact

I can make them up on the bench now for stock airbox or pods with bov/breather fittings/hoses, joiners and clamps as a kit out of 80mm alloy. They will fit r33 and r34 and both series C34 stageas. I checked out a 32 intake today which is even easier to make (with only one bend) for oem setups or pods. :thumbsup:

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
