Just wondering, a quick, cost effective and easy way on feeding the pod colder air.

I have the standard factory piping and there isnt much room in the bottom right part of the engine bay. I was thinking of getting some heat resistant foam/material and pop it over the pod, and hold it on (zip ties?). Does anyone have a better idea of what they have done? If you have any picts of the setup it would be great if you can post them too. Thanks

im also interested in this aswell.

one question though ive seen a few ppl use some sort of metal around the turbo/dump pipe to cover i think a/c or brake lines in the engine bay. where abouts can u buy this stuff?

coz i was thinking of using this stuff as a sorta heat sheild for the pod as it seems quite flexible.

Thanks for the offer Mark.

Ive currently got the ARC FMI cooler that uses the stock pipes.

p.s Nice GTR btw - If only I had that kind of cash lying around Id snap it up straight away. In my opinion perfect colour.

I was hoping to get a heat shield over the pod to block a lot (not all) of the warm engine air. Just wondering where I would get one (I have seen pictures of some ppls engine bays with them)

I know its not as good as a fully enclosed alum box, but Its better than nothing.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
