yes you are missing the snorkel off that airbox...your engine is not going to blow up from not having it but, if you are running a standard airbox it is better to have it, unless your feeding in cold air from elsewhere.i think it would cause a smaal drop in power and fuel economy, but cant confir that. im sure nissan would have some reason for putting it on though :thumbsup:

Lol, same thing happened to me one day. Looked in someone elses engine bay, looked back at mine, fk missing piece.

They're damn cheap, I bought mine for $40 plus delivery.

Turbo and non turbo airboxes are different!!!! And they certainly aren't worth $230. The parts for sale forum on here usually has heaps of useful bits and pieces, and if there aren't any snorkels on there, there will be soon.

Sucks about the engine bay paint, hope the seller knocked some of the price off to apologise!

    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
    • Sounds like a misfire. Check fuel pressure and don't even think about going into boost while it's like this unless you enjoy engine rebuilds.
