Hi guys,

Looking to purchase/ make up a heat shield for my POD but just wanted to see what other pples experiences are:

I know Just Jap sell them for ~ $250 and theres some on ebay for ~ $100 but was wondering where ppl have purchased theres from and what they're experiences have been.

Also wondering, if i were to custom make one, what material would prob be best as a heat insulator.

I was thinking plastic would be best with aluminium foil (facing outwards) pasted on (or between 2 layers of plastic) to reflect the heat.

Cheers

Taso

Hi Taso,

I got one of these, it has pictures half way down the page:

The group buy is not running anymore, however i think there are still some guys out there who make them.

The above one works a treat, super cheap and gets the job done.

hope that helps.

Yeah but aluminium transfers a lot of heat, so it's not really best. I used aluminium for mine because I had some lying around, and it does look good. Unfortunately, ponies before chromies, and with a simple thermometer setup I discovered I want to scrap it and custom make one from fibreglass. A good cold air intake would probably fix it but I have issues with cutting my bonnet, as it'll look ricey, despite having real purpose. Cold air from down low to the road would be a lot hotter.

i've just bought an r33 and i am interested in this too...

i've found the dredd racing one on ebay but i'm not that confident.. anyone else had bought one of these?

also i've pm'ed ashneel... *fingers crossed*

Buy 1 x 90 degree bend of silicon hose

2 inches of three in pipe

3 x 3 inch hose clamps

- Open up the factory hole a little wider under the air filter

- connect the 3 inch silicon hose to air flow meter and shove the other end in the hole

- then insert the bit of 3 inch pipe into the silicon hose

- put the pod filter on the other side of the pipe, do up hose clamps

Bobs your uncle, the air filter in the bumper bar, the coldest air box you'll ever get!

I've had this set up in my skyline for 3 years now, works like a charm, i noticed the difference straight away, it was consistently responsive, if you have half a brain water will not be a problem, just don't go through any massive puddles

Keep the factory inner guard covers installed

Line the inside of the aluminium with Styrofoam, since noone can see it

Good thinking 99! Styrofoam might deteriorate a bit too quickly but I do have heaps of high density packing foam at work, might try that one. As a bonus it might muffle some of the intake noise too. I'll thermo check it and let you know how it goes

    • HyperGear. Just get a high flow of the stocker. Good, reliable, and should bolt on. Yes it will want things like a retune once done, so you need to factor this in to your spend too.
    • Hi. Iam looking for some "cheaper" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO. I do not want "big" power just better reliability than the stock turbo which is "fot now" good but is old and i do not think it has "easy" life. One the Skyline here running some "temu" china Turbo but i dont trust those... Thanks!

    • That's kind of what I was getting at saying you'd be here soon regarding length etc being able to add additional restriction.  My assumption (possible donkeys of you and mption) is that the length of hose to an oil cooler, and back, isn't going to be that huge of a loss. Typically you're talking about 1.5m of total length. And so far everyone in our world hasn't had issues with oil not being able to get to a cooler and back, it's more been, how the heck do we get the oil out of the head and back down to the bottom? I'd nearly hazard a guess the biggest issue people have with oil cooling and oil supply, is being able to get the heat out at the cooler itself (not enough air flow, too small of a cooler etc) Also, when people mount them wrong and make really awesome air traps so they've dramatically diminished the cooling capacity.
    • I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.
