Hey people,

i was woundering what sort of coldair intake setups are people using on the skyline specifically R33 Gtst. Any sugestions and prices or pics would be appreciated.

cheers

I have a front mounted intercooler opposed to the original side mount. When you take the stock intercooler out, the piping going to the intake can be routed a different way, leaving a hole.

I cable tied 90mm PVC piping (90 degree bend) under this hole, so the air gets fed from the corner of my 400r bar.

I also use a UAS cold air box, with that shiney insulation stuff lined on the whole inside of the box.

Mine works a treat :)

Sorry, no pics.. Might grab some next time front bar gets taken off

i have also replaced the standard intercooler with a gtr cooler up front

i relocated my pod down into that space

awesome in dry conditions

in the wet, i just take it super ez to try and minimise the chances of sucking up water

The only other way you could do it is setup a box around the pod and make up sum sort of duct to extract the air coming in from around the headlight. It sounds silly but apparently works quite well. 'SS Inductions' i think it is sells a setup like that.

Infact now that i think of it you could use the stock air pick up ducted to a box made up for the pod. That pick up sits up above the headlight and sucks air between the bonnet and headlight. Not sure if you'd still have it there or ever did?

Al_r33 i've got the blitz one your talking about. It works realy well. On boiling hot days the output side of the intercooler is always freeeezing for ages after you turn off the car.

On thing about that intercooler though is the intake pipe that goes into the intercooler sits 1cm or so lower than the front bumper, so you goto go extra slow over the bumps etc.

how much did that cost you? im planning on incorporating a cold air intake with a new intercooler later down the track, as i recently bought the car, and its just got an exposed pod in the engine bay. Tho im thinking of going gtr intercooler as that would be pretty much bolt on i assume

i think there about $1500 or so. I got mine for $1200 during xmas sale. Was abit expensive but i wanted to test out the credit card.

I think with the gtr cooler you'd need custom pipes to hook it up.

The blitz one uses the stock pipes in the engine bay, whereas the gtr one is like most intercoolers and has the pipes going left and right.

I do prefer the look of the normal/gtr intercooler over mine though :)

On my VS commie amd my S5 t Rx7 I had my pod filters behind the front bar.

In the wet I leave the front of it covered by a plastic bag. (sounds dodgy, but if it's your daily there's not much choice.)

If only the front is covered then it can still suck air from the sides. Also don't drive too close behind others as you will still suck up all of there spray.

When i installed the intercooler I was only running stock 5-7psi boost. So I wasnt realy expecting that much of a differance. There was a small differance in the power but as well as some added lag :D . I was kinda more impressed with the cool wooshing noises it was making though :)

That same day we put the 3" exhaust on and that made a big differance to power which I could feel straight away.

I rekon I would of got the same results above with most intercoolers though so its hard to say.

All I know is it goes incredibly cold real quick and lets me run more boost :(

this is the cold air intake I have on my R33, it has a snorkle running the cold air up under the KN pod. also I have put a wanky blue light in the air box so when the bonnet opens the light comes on and shines through the smoked glass slot. I hope it will keep the intake temps down from the new turbo!

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
