Do you have the attachment that connects the box from the RHS into the guard?

If its the same as the 34 GTR, there will be a cover on the inner guard side of this attachment. You can take this cover off to increase air intake.

Power level is 422rwks, on 19psi.

Just changed to bigger twins and want to chase 450+ rwks

Why does that matter??? I just want to know how to modify the thing

So you're making 422RWkw with a completely stock airbox? - Good to know!

Yep removed that already, anything else I can do? :)

Hmm I might be able to cut out a much bigger hole and a custom larger pipe into the guard :)

I found that the stock airbox was becoming limiting around 500rwks so I need to custom make something however still need to retain the standard appearance :)

Whats your current power level and mod list?

It may matter to you that Piggaz car has made a genuine 470rwkw with a standard box and NO modifications. So he MAY have saved you some time and energy

Trent's dyno isn't accurate, because it isn't in NSW. :P

Daz at this power level you won't get much help from these guys, how many have cracked 500 let alone on the stock airbox, piping and cooler?

The engine side of the gearbox you can modify that to accept a filter then modify the snorkle to feed air over it. It ain't a 5 minute mod though. I don't know the part number for the filter. Haven't gotten that far.

Also tickle the alloy pipes that bolt to the comp housings. I've sent you those pics before I think.

      Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell

      Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups.

      The Evolution Of "night Fury"

      75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.

      Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet

      gauge needle removal

      By JC71 · Posted

      okay, so I figured this out, removed needles and reinstalled after swapping the gauge face on my triple gauge for my ER34, all work and look good. I tried to do the same for the main cluster, but the main cluster gauge faces are dished, the replacement gauge face are flat, so due to the dish in the org face ,mounting backing plate (clear) and depth of the needle, the flat gauge face will not work. I notice that R34 gtr gauges are flat, appears to be different clear backing plate that aren't dished. are these available, or what have others done to install flat gauge faces?
