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.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
