colgf Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 STOP PRESS!!!!! If you have an R33 Turbo , check your pax side front guard inner plastic shield just behind the stock intercooler for a series of slotted vents in the plastic - apparently there are 2 types of inner guard plastic shield (Turbo & non turbo ) If your car has been modded with an aftermarket body kit or a Nismo front kit, it may have a non turbo, NON vented inner shield which will destroy airflow across the intercooler . Mine was fitted with a non slotted shield!!!!! Its easy to cut some slots in the plastic shield with a stanley knife as the slot shapes are already pressed into the plastic - make sure you cut the slots in the downward pointing part of the slot pressing to avoid mud/slush getting into the intercooler......

elbee111 Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Ours has the slots. It is sitting in the garage if someone wants it. Took it off nearly 2 years ago (as suggested by rev210 for better cooling). The cooler gets the full air flow and I haven't seen any evidence of any probs with this. The cooler gets a wash when the car does once a week. My Wife travels on a dirt road once a week as well. Enjoy.

Cubes Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 It was also one of Rev210's little tricks to get the car down the 1/4 quicker. Less drag.
