Hey all i have one of those apexi super pod filters and i want to install but not going to do it without a proper heatshield. I cant be bothered making one myself so which would be the best ones for the R33 skylines i have a series 2 but R33 i assume are all the same. I have seen the clear top ones sold here any reviews on them?? I know a guy who has one and got it ceramic coated to make sure the pod is properly cooled would this be the best way to go as its enclosed and protects pod/afm from dirt/water?? what about those UAS cold air boxes are they any good and protect the pod aswell as afm from water and stuff?? or should i get one custom made by a shop?? so many choices so hard to choose. Im NOT after a budget option either im after high quality. btw i have the standard intercooler.

Not after a budget option?

Keep your standard snorkel and pair it up with a ARC Super Induction Box ( http://www.nengun.com/catalogue/product/658 ) - $500.

is the standard snorkel any good for briging in air? it seems like air cant get to the mouth of it when the bonnet is closed because of the front nose pointing down on the bonnet..

??

the uas one reduced temps alot when i combined it with tubing from the front bar to the hole where the stock cooler pipe went...

i dont think the snorkel will work with the UAS one since its fully enclosed on the top and side

I have the UAS one and am getting a satainless steel cold air duct made for it which will go to the front bar.

Plan to have a square to round transition sitting behind the opening in my bar which will be fitted to 3" pipe and feed under the pod :D

Use Standard snorkle, with the airbox made by Mr_crust (think this his username)

I have got it, and has worked fine!! no dramas at all and i have a apexi pod as well..

However once i get a front mount, will use that standard hole n feed more air in from there as well..

Also im sure air goes thru the standard snorkle. I know it doesnt look like it but im sure NISSAN would have tested it..

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
