SK and Bass Junky, are either of you adding another inlet to the airbox for this scoop, or are you simply re designing your own snorkel to work more efficiently?

I tried making an auxiliary snorkel that goes behind the passenger headlight in the R33, but was very limited in materials / tools, so I couldn't do it. (I had cut a hole out in front of the airbox lid). I then made a partition and sealed the engine bay off from the side of the airbox (which worked well, but looked a little dodgy), but I have since broken it, as it was made from perspex, which is very brittle, especially after heating it up to re-shape it.

Can you please provide details/pics (especially if it is the latter) as I am very interested.

C-West have a kit for the 34 Bass Junky.

Looks like it extends down to the grill area.

You can just see it here

i've been searching for that c-west air intake,, but can't seem to find out the price to get one to australia,,

but with the radiator guide now,, i don't know if it'll become an overkill,, of even if it'll fit!!,,

I can't really see anything in that photo.

What I'm going to do it basically fashion a scoop from the bottom of the guide, much like the one made with sheetmetal and rivets in one of the posts in the R34 GTT group buy thread.

But insted of riveting it, I'm going to have it fabricated.

OK, I see what you are saying.

I like that Idea. The inlet on the airbox lid looks more than adeqaute enough to flow enough air, especially for my power levels, but i always thought the snorkel looked a little restrictive. Hmmm, I might give that a try myself.

Do you guys have any pics?

Interested in making a few for a group buy or something?

Actually even a mini tutorial as to how you made it would be good.

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
