Repairing The Foam On An R34 Gtr Intake Snorkel?

[No Crust Racing]

As pictured (though that's not mine) has anyone tried removing the existing foam and replacing it?

I'm interested in how you went about removing and cleaning up the old foam/adhesive from the double sided tape they appear to use.

Been there done that. Came out good. Went to Clark rubber.

Just like what others have said.

[Hadouken]

Just peel and get turps or goof off

[No Crust Racing]

Turps hey.

Any pics of how yours came up?

[No Crust Racing]

Started last night, turps helps a little (in conjunction with gasket remover).

I looked at the goof off stuff, appears to be mainly acetone so I'll try a little nail polish remover on a small section and see if it helps.

This stuff is great at taking glue off without damage

[No Crust Racing]

Wouldn't have thought of that for adhesive.

I replaced my foam awhile ago, Bunnings sell self adhesive backed foam rolls like this stuff http://www.bunnings.com.au/weatherseal-handy-mws5-19x25mm-3m-garage-1-28105_p4114647also good for sealing air box snorkel with the airbox

Exactly what I'm after. Thanks

I have exactly the same weather seal on my airbox. The only issue is that because of the shape it tends to come off at the notchy bit sometimes. Doesn't matter normally but not ideal when it gets sucked into the snorkel at the track...

I haven't had any issues yet with it coming up, I did find the surface needs to be very clean and you have to massage it into the grooves to get good adhesion but other then that she's been good for a few years now.

[Hadouken]

I used some adhesive and clamp it down for an hour to make it stick I the corners.

I get pic soon

Dunno about that foam. I tested it on the side port.

Have cleaned snorkel also.

[Hadouken]

My alignment wasn't the best but meh I'm nowhere near as fussy as you.

[No Crust Racing]

What width is that?

I did some test fitting and found the bonnet doesn't even touch the snorkel anyway.

Might be because it's not stock.

[Hadouken]

I'll need to measure. 15/20mm I think.

Mine definitely touches the bonnet

[No Crust Racing]

Hmm only black I could find was as linked in this thread, 25mm which might be a touch wide.

[No Crust Racing]

This material won't go around corners like yours so I'm not loving this finish.

[Hadouken]

Clarke rubber all the way!

[No Crust Racing]

There isn't one here

I've removed the foam and re-cleaned it.

Will try Rare spares and see what he has.
