hey guys ive just recently switched to an r33 series turbo turbo from stock i know there isnt much difference in the turbso and stuff but i was just wondering what intake does every one use? im just using the standard rubber with a bend and AFM then pod but it seems to slightly kink the standard intake because its only a soft rubber. was just wondering if any one has some pictures of the intake setup they are you using.

Hey up matey, you can buy a hard rubber pipe one which is suppose to give it more flow, their are quite a few on ebay but they do cost quite a bit. I am thinking of getting one of these soon cause I can't see those bends in the stock pipe doing much good for the air flow.

a hot piece of 10cm metal is not going to effect the temp of the air being sucked in by a turbo spinning at 100,000rpm.

going by that theory, people with full metal intake pipes must blow up engines daily.

If you are that worried, you can wrap it with heat wrap for another $5 or get it HPC coated for a few extra dorra

just looked at the '$5 intake mod'. I was thinking wouldn't the metal pipe get really hot resulting in hotter air entering the turbo? Correct me if I'm wrong.

What makes you think metal heats faster and easier than thin rubber? It doesnt...so nothing to worry about.

    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
    • I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat
