V36 air intakes

I know many post about air intakes have been made but I couldn't find the answer I wanted . 

Here goes , I have the vq35hr engine and I want to get dual air intakes with Australian standards .  

I know the best options will be either the kn or stillen . But The money is a bit of an issue and I don't know if it's with all this import . ( tried to find some from wreckers or from Australia with no luck ) so I came up to this one 

https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/311737353681

the seller said the sensor may not fit my engine as this item is for the g37 so I am asking will this do the trick ? ( later I will get the pods of k&n and some carbon enclosure ) 

so is this gona fit ? 

Thanks in advance .

just because it has such a cheap price it might be a bit tricky getting everything to fit.

Best to save up the extra 400 dollars and get something better that will fit. Or if you like to custom stuff then take the time and make it work. You would then be saving moving, just spending more time.

Australian Standards? do you mean road legal?

I assume that you are doing this for the look and the sound of a pod, as I under the impression that the stock dual intakes can flow enough air to support a reasonable level of engine mods.

Also worth being a little careful of oiled filters and the air sensors... They have been known to get upset if coated in oil...

Yes I am after more of the sound and looks. If there is a bit of performance I would welcome it . 

Yes by standards I mean the enclosure of the pods . I found some carbon boxes etc . 

Anyone knows where I can find them here in Australia in reasonable prices ? As whenever I have quoted and asked I only found 1000+ . 

I want to get the stillen but with all the imports and stuff goes to big bucks . So as I see it with some limited knowledge I have in this as long as I get the metal tubes and can fit the sensor there I can get any pod filter which are cheap and then an enclosure . 

I will try to get air filters without oil coating I am more after the tubes . 

Also u think this is any good and fit ? As I still don't know if g37 will fit mine .

Apologies if this comes across rude but if money is an issue, why waste it on silly pods? You won't gain anything useable from it in power, and your car becomes susceptible to defects notices. I would suggest save it and spend it on something you are going to get benefit from. Like sway bars or similar. For the same money your talking about you can transform a car if you spend it smartly.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
