Hi guys

It's time to get rid the standard air intake and get me something a bit better. I have read the threads about the a'pexi power intake and decided it looks the goods, i also am thinking of buying it through www.perfectrun.com.au . They have the a'pexi power intake for $345 (not including freight) for the R32 GT-R, is there anything else i will need to buy? or does that kit include everything for the installation?

Thanks.

Very professional....looking good :D

You need to partition them off so they suck cool air instead of nasty engine bay air.

Just looking at your pics an easy way to do it might be to separate the filters from the adapter tubes and place your partition so it sits against the flange of the tubes, cut holes for the air intakes then use longer bolts to put your filters backon with the partition sandwiched between them and the flanges. would make for a nice simple job. Good luck

Uas is the only place I know that supplies them and unless your car is stock I don't know how they can get the holes for the pipeing in the right place . I got one and it never even looked like fitting, Best way is to make your own using aluminium backed foam. it's much easier to work with than rigid material and you can close it off completely.

cheers

Plus $82 freight. It came with the brackets and the two pipes for each pod, just unpack and take off the standard airbox, and wack her on, the directions are in japanese but the diagrams were very easy to follow. It took me about 30 minutes to do it and this is my first hands-on mod, so it's not that hard.

    • Update 2: Today I'm f**king pissed. Some of you probably saw my thread that I opened shortly after joining this forum, "urgently need expert/experienced opinion", in which I discussed the possibility of a porous RB26 engine block which I also found hard to believe. Currently both turbos are out since the shitty braided line that was installed by whoever fitted the GT28 turbos leaked oil onto the exhaust. Today while working on the cam covers to put new gaskets and half moons in, I cleaned the side of the engine block with brake cleaner. Some time later I saw that it was still glistening with oil or coolant so I dried that off. But it was wet again shortly after. Verdict: I'm royally screwed. What you can see here (hopefully, despite shit resolution), circled in red, is a crack above the turbo oil feed. Extent is a few cm long and basically goes from #3 cylinder wall to #4 cylinder wall. It slowly lets coolant through, even without any pressure behind it. I am absolutely dumbfounded as to how this crack even formed, especially since it isn't along the cylinder as it usually is but rather a horizontal crack. Probably a few cm in length. Not sure on how to deal with this issue right now. Most likely, the only true fix is a new engine block, and even a relatively well done temporary fix requires at least a full engine teardown. Neither of those really fit my timetable right now, the car has been in my buddy's garage long enough as it is. I'm open to suggestions, but I'll be looking into ordering a new 05U block soon so I have one ready for the coming year, or whenever the current block inevitably fails fully. (Most likely once the crack reaches one of the frost plugs) I think it'd be a waste of money and time to rebuild the engine with this block. Oh and I found a rust hole on the side pocket of the trunk, which someone covered up with sealant goop, a piece of number plate and bodywork filler. Fun times. So far for every issue we fix we just find a new one that is arguably worse.
    • I have not found this no. I put one back on a couple days ago with no drama. I agree they are tight, but no need to remove anything. 
    • That is gates blue racing belt
    • Anyone found gates blue racing to be extremely tight/ almost impossible to install without moving the exhaust gear
