Air Intake Modification

An idea for increasing the R32 GTSt Skyline's air intake.

Air Intake Modification
1. Remove clamps around the flexible section between the airbox lid and the first plastic air intake tube. This will allow you to move the airbox lid out of the way. (airbox-4) Remove the 4 screws holding the airbox to the body. (airbox -1)

 

2. With a file and wire cutters remove the rivets holding the lower section of the airbox. Care must be take so as not to break off the extended hold down, ( I broke mine ). I can't stress how easily it breaks off !
 

 

3. Cut off a piece of the down tube approximately 10 mm long. Place in the bottom of the airbox covering the small hole that led into the lower chamber you just removed. Try and position it as close to the airbox walls as possible without over lapping the layered area. Trace the inside of the ring with a marker or something equivalent. Using a good pair of wire cutters snip out the inside section of the marked area. Care needs to be taken so as not to cut outside your marks. NOTE: When cutting it is a difficult. The plastic is durable and will crack with too much twisting pressure. Once your satisfied with the cutting use the round rasp file to shape the hole to size. Check often so as not to make the hole egg shaped or too big. You want a snug fit. I cut off another section @ 200 mm long to also use in the next part. (airbox 2-3).

4. Using the 200 mm long section previously cut poke it through the hole in the airbox as far as possible. Reattach the airbox into place tightly. Measure the distance from the bottom of the airbox to the sheet metal. Make sure the section come in contact with the sheet metal. Using your marker again roughly mark out a line near the bottom of the down tube so when cut will lay against the sheet metal flat. This is important on getting the proper angle and location cut into the sheet metal. You only have one shot at this so take your time and trim and file until your satisfied! Mark around the tubing on the sheet metal to lay out where your going to drill and cut. Try and get all the way around the tube!

5. Using a 10mm drill bit. Drill a series of holes rather far inside the marked circle. Remember you marked the outside of the tube but the marker tip is going to put a larger circle than will be needed so again care needs to be taken here. (airbox 5)

6. Using the rasp file connect the holes you just drilled, until the center section comes out. Continue until the tube fits neatly inside the hole. Remember though that tube will sit at an angle so care is needed not to file too close towards either the fender or the engine. Your hole will be egg shaped so no worries there. Replace the airbox back on and check your work often. It is up to you but I did it so when it is totally reassembled the tube is held into place with good tight friction. That way no additional brackets need to be installed and the tube has not moved or come out since. (airbox 5-7).

7. Remove the airbox and remove the tube. Reattach the airbox and measure from the bottom of the airbox through the hold. You want to make sure the final tube extends well into the hole about 100mm or so. If too long it will come up against the inside of the inner fender and splash guard well. Cut and fit. Trimming may be needed to get the proper length you wish. If you wish you can add an elbow and another section, bell and fit to the front of the front spoiler. I did both but found it did not increase anything but the amount of dirt and moisture into my K&N filter. Removing the extension and leaving it only as a straight piece has done me much better. Again that is totally up to you. (airbox-8).

And here it is, the intake. The great thing about this mod is that it will increase your cars ability to breathe. It is a cheap mod, and will definately improve your performance. Unfortunately we did not do a before and after dyno test, but, it feels like there is more grunt, and it certainly sounds like it!!!
