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 :-)

    • List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter? 
    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
