Ok I just did the ghetto airbox trick on my 96 sentra GXE today but I'm wondering about a couple things. First of all I didn't bother taking out the bottom part of the factory air intake thing because the screws were really tight and I didn't bother getting out the POWER TOOLS.
So, I just turned the top part upside down, ducttaped the filter onto the top part and reattatched the wires and the screw for the tightening thingajigger. It works pretty well because the clips on the bottom part of the intake can now clip onto the top of the now upside down top part and hold it on well.
So now the filter is pointed up and kind of sticks out. The hood closes fine but I'm just wondering if the hood is somewhat inhibiting air from getting into the filter. I can't see under the hood when the hood is down obviously so I can't tell how close the hood comes to the filter. My engine now has a nice sound when I hit the gas and it seems to help acceleration but I just am really really scared (right word?) to fry my engine or not let enough air in or something!
If you don't get what I'm trying to explain yet think you can help just PM and I'll try to either take a picture or draw one for you.
