Sent you a PM

Approval Application:

(1)What is it? Air Pod cover -http://justjap.com/store/product.php?productid=17671&cat=&page=3

(2)Why do you want it? Because CF is not allowed and red is matching the base colour - also to have a bit more "Fill" effect in the bay

lol... Forget the haters Jeremy!

If you want the box put it in. I'm looking to put one in soon too, car came with pod filter so thinking about this box to make it less appealing to defect police.. Thought about making one, but after spending cash on tools needed and perspex, etc. might just try find a used one. They are on ebay for about $100 also. Not like it has to be high quality =)

dude i told you dont worry about the pod filter it actully gives 0kw gains if not it just gives you more heat soak. The stock intakes are actually a nailed design. Ive been trying to convince him just to go without the certificate. Its not November yet the worst thing that would happen is that yo have to go again im not sure if you have a number of times that you can try to get cleared. Id be guessing three times.

I believe 0kw is true but is throttle response a little crisp/responsive?

Also is heat soak much of issue......doesn't the air run through the intercooler before the the TB? I know at idle or low speed it will make a difference but not enough to affect a daily driver, surely?

I am a noob at the RBs but I have come from modding a supercharged v6 where a w2a is mainly used and the blower sitting on the intake manifold has a lot of heat soak and it is comonly discussed.

Not trying to be a smart ass just trying to learn a little.

I was also looking at one Jeremy.

Stock airbox sucks cold air, but has a small intake.

With exrta holes cut its less restrictive.

0$ upgrade that works.

Unboxed pods suck hot air.

No good.

A box can be as cheap as $10-$20.

Yea I can see how warm air is sucked in with out this box thing mentioned above, but with the pods enclosed surely it isn't that bad?

When at speed, there wouldn't be that much hot air, but standing still etc there would be more soak.

It's interesting 10 minutes after a drive to remove the shield and feel the Pod. Definately cooler than with no shield.

I need to trim my NAP Custom Shield a little after pulling my cooler out for cleaning, everything went back together just a little differently and it currently doesn't fit. :(

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
