Hi all. Just wondering which fmic kit uses a similar design for the outlet piping to the plenum as shown in the image or can the piping be found seperately? I already have a FMIC, but due to the U pipe that goes to the plenum getting in the way, my stock air box can't have the snorkel fitted. I wish to have the snorkel back, so anyone has an idea or does the piping need to be fabricated?

My airbox is exactly the same as yours is and it's probably breathing in hot air without the snorkel. Btw, you got the engine bay painted? Looks wicked!

Thanks for the suggestions and info, guys. A turn flow cooler will probably be my best option since I'm thinking of ditching the current one anyway. It's all corroded. Anyone has an idea of how to get the corrosion off on the exterior?

just get a return flo kit, heres mine with stock airbox

Point of a return flow cooler is to use the standard piping...therefore the factory snorkel and airbox will work with it fine. You have an R33, I have an R33, trust me :whistling:

that's more than a 'bit' of trimming! you'd definitely want to have some other CAI going on elsewhere

OP, get a turnflow kit and worry no more

You know i got a CAI :) #1 reason for air feed was to cover the area where you could see big turbo :)

    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
    • Yes, well. Mine are less than half that. ARBs are not set to "dumb" either.
    • I would hope. But, we all know even the best companies have an issue sporadically.
