Hi Guys,

Just wondering who has one installed in their car? I would like to purchase one and install it as the stock rubber one is likes to collapse in summer and restrict boost. I've used the silicon ones as well, not really a fan.

Below is the one by Performance Wise, it's half the price of the Apexi Suction Kit but is laid out slightly different, so I am afraid of fitment. Not too sure how it would fit.

Does anyone have one of these fitted to their car? photos would be great!

OR if someone wants to sell me their Apexi Suction Pipe, I'll buy it for the same price of the one below :yes:

Ive got the Apexi kit which I bought from Paul (Performance Wise) and the one above looks almost the same. Send Paul an email or PM and ask him. He is a really honest, top bloke who I have bought almost all of my parts from over the years and he has NEVER led me astray.

He will tell you the difference, they do make a little more induction noise though. Let me know if you want pics of the Apexi kit

hi mate,

Yeah I did send a message to Paul on eBay lol

He told me to post it up on SAU and ask you guys if anyone is using one.

From what I've seen, the Apexi Suction kit is very different, the BOV return and the cam cover line is placed differently.

:(

Not sure if this helps out, but this is what the suction kit comes with for an R33 GTS - I didn't have a picture, so just copied one from a website.

The suction kit uses the black hoses to join up with the original ones, which insert into the OEM rubber intake.

So the performance wise kit should do the same I assume.

Ive got the performance wise kit, and its tops.

fitted it up when I installed my GT30r turbo

Hey Tangles, could you post up a photo of it and where you've plumped back the lines?

Can you still install this sort of piping with the factory airbox?

I don't think so....but I could be wrong...? Looking at mine...I don't think it will line up and fit...

Can you still install this sort of piping with the factory airbox?

it will not line up unfortunately, the original turbo intake pipe has more bends than that pipe. I've already installed a airbox partition I bought from Hi Octane Racing, great fit cheaper than other places. I picked it up from their showroom and I told them I was from SAU and it cost me $80.00 what a bargain!

Cheaper than a few other suppliers.

Tangles!

got the photos yet buddy?

......... and on this topic, I've damaged the mesh on my AFM, it's disrupting air flow measurements and the car is knocking quite hard.

I've got a highflow stock r33 turbo.. doing 235kws... running 17high boost and 14low boost now if i put this in and replacing my OEM pipe... would this make any diffrence? people are saying the stock pipe gets sucked in and closed...

cant say i felt or heard much diff with the standard turbo. but let us know how it goes geraus. mines decided it wants to stay in a spot where it rubs on someting and make a farking annoying squeking sound.

    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
    • yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
