A friend of mine years ago ducted his R32 N/A intake into his cabin. Into his cabin. His thinking was when he turned on his A/C, the engine would breath in the cold air, get some performance, he ran without a filter as there was no need for one. Spiders and roaches would be squashed and burned if they'd ever get into the intake. But guess what? After the initial shock he got from insane intake noise from the startup rev, instant regret 30 seconds of driving it hahahaha, and of course, he had to return everything back to the way it was, but with a large hole in his firewall.

There are flexible stainless steel piping available, you could get the correct piping diameter with some coupling for your setup. No need to worry about piping angles. See here:

There is a panel under the stock air filter, if you would take a look at it, there is an outline for turbo piping. You can drill a hole there for either piping your pod, or to let ambient air in. There is a tutorial I think somewhere in the forums.

Do whatever you want to your car, the itch of not doing it when you wanted to do, can turn into a rash. Just don't get hurt or have anybody else hurt. And of course, be prepared for "I told you so, comments." Goodluck buddy.

haha, would love to see a down shift backfire through the intake. that would wake him up.

i actually wanna see pictures of that.

Sorry mate, there were no photos, this was like in 2001. We didn't even have digital cameras back then, just the film ones. On this island on that year, internet was just starting to get installed, heck, we still use dial up in many homes. I have photos of another buddy of mine somewhere, I just need to find it, where he installed a 6 foot intake to his Toyota Levin. The same piping as the flexible intake link I posted, but at 2.5" diameter. It was way cheaper back then, now it costs twice as much. I'll post it tomorrow as I am logging off from work, such fun times haha.

Reminds me of the guys who used to fit DCOE Webers onto their minis. The intake trumpets used to come through the firewall into the cabin. Then again, intake noise was half the reason people bought Webers, and in those days a Mini was far from quiet anyway, so the Weber conversion was nothing but win.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
