Air Ducting

[lliw180]

Hey guys this is a follow on form my last post. I am a new GQ owner and i have had a few problems and im some what sure that a vac leek is the root cause of them as you will see from the pics mine is missing the stock part called air ducting. Affter calling Nissan and 6 wreckers i have come to the concultion my only real option is to make something or adapt something. option 1 would be get a pice of the 45 bend intercooler piping from autobarn or somewhere and put 2 of thoses things for the airlines OR i see on ebay you can by that bit for a gu and im a sure ISH it would work. My GQ is going to see a machenic thursday i will check that this is the problem but i would be sure it is. When I plugged the hole it seamed to run better. And when i removed the plug eg my finger is whisteld. In a way i would like to make something i will keep you posted see pics bellow. any tips comments or problems i have missed please do tell

looks pretty close to a 45 deg tube bend - you could contact Geordie stainless in Melb - buy a grade 304 elbow, probably cost you $20 plus shipping then go from there with silicone sleeves and hose clamps.

Im confused on which part you are talking about. The dodgy bit of air intake hose from the air box, or the bit with the duct tape around it.

Good point. I only addressed the air inlet

It has been butchered. Has someone got a couple of pics of a standard TB42 E engine bay. I've had a quick search but can't find any.

So what has this part got to do with the intake duct? Does it join into said duct or something?
