so got my r34 gt - only thing on it is an exhaust - and there is no snorkel from the air box - just a hole in the bottom of the air box.

i can either

A - try and get a snorkel (this is preferred) - any one know where i can get one, how much. is thee a negative to just leaving it the way it is?

B - get a pod filter ( pros and cons? )

ideas?

Okay well the obvious answer to this question is get a pod :-) but make sure it's shielded either by a box or on the pod itself to save you hassle from the defect patrol. But if your going down the line of a pod you may as well do a full cai to see the full benefits.

But as you have said you would prefer te oem snorkel you have really two options

1: go to your local nissan dealer an order one brand new that is the more expensive way.

2: you can go to a wrecker and there are lots around and you should be able to get one quiet cheaply.

Also The only downfall of leaving it off is that you will probably get more hot air from the engine bay going into the intake as the snorkel takes the air from right at the front of the car before it can get heated up to much.

Hope it helps :-)

    • Also seen this as an option 
    • I get you, we’ll see I’m aiming for 200ish kw now and hopefully 300rwkw down the line after some upgrades maybe like headstuds, E85 flex fuel etc  so trying to make it final for that now, I can get a GTT airbox for $280 so it’s not too bad but not sure if there’s better ways to spend that money. I seen online they say pod filter which isn’t enclosed isn’t good especially for a plus T.      hard to say what to do
    • Meh. How much power can you make from a +T anyway? I wouldn't have though it would be enough to challenge the airbox. It's not as if it's tiny compared with the turbo one. As to putting a pod in a stock airbox .... it's not the filter element that would be restrictive. It would be the air inlet to the box that would be the narrow point, which you could open up regardless of what element was inside. On my R32 I opened up the sort of triangular opening in the bottom front corner of the box, deformed (heated, moulded) some 4" stormwater pipe to fit to that opening and punched a 4" hole down through the inner guard to the spot where the stock intercooler used to be. This was purely in the search for a cold intake, but you could do something similar if you need to open up the inlet side of it. The AFM tube size is the same for both NA and turbo, so the outlet from the airbox is same same anyway. If you're going to do the right thing, then an aftermarket ECU won't care about the AFM (ie, you can get rid of it). But even if it was still there, people pull >300rwkW through them all day, and I suspect you won't be going there.
    • R34 RB25de Neo by the way ^ 
    • Doing a +T on my car and I’ve read the precious forums lots of mixed reviews from sometime back.  checking if anyone has any ideas for airbox or enclosed pod filter or solutions?  I was thinking stock GTT box but some say it’s restrictive? I seen some people try fit in a pod in the box anyone done that recently?  not any good enclosed options ? Thanks
