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..

    • So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
    • Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
    • your right the maps for Australia came out in 2017 but are 2010 maps. i got the updated maps SD card put it in and it was the same. Same maps in my Brothers Nissan Patrol. 2020 i think his car is
    • Yeahhhh, the costs have killed me. Spent more than the cost of an engine rebuild and it most mostly servicing and a tune lol.
