I pilot an R33 SII with the stock airbox. These radiator guides actually impede the airflow to the stock airbox since the intake snorkel sits on top of the radiator support?

hmm this sounds interesting...i'll wait to hear bass junky's response before buying 1 of these as i'd be putting it on a S2 R33 as well

Depending on the design of your front bar, normall the guide actually tilts down from your radiator support panel.

The guide will actually scoop air INTO the inlet duct of your car.

You can then use some foam and guide the air into that duct.

BUT, if the duct does look like blocking air getting to the inlet duct, I can include a scoop section on the guide to allow better airflow to the inlet duct.

Send me some photos of your front bar on the SII with the bonnet up, looking at it from the front.

my cars still on its way, but ive got the pics they took in japan for me....stock S2 front bar...

and sorry if im completely wrong, but looking at my pic, and then the pic you put up of the guide, it looks like it blocks the airflow to the radiator through the grill ? :S

yeah like i said, im only going by what i can see. do you have a diagram of how they guide the air or anything? might clear it up for others and not just me...

thanks

the snorkel bolts to on top of the radiator support beam, as opposed to the radiator guide which will bolt onto the side of the support beam, so it shouldn't restrict flow to the snorkel.

if postage is under $15ish (which will then make it cheaper than UAS) and it fits a R33 S2 with this grill, then put me down for one.

This is the UAS one, you can see the snorkel is above this air guide.

thanks dan, but what i meant was that the radiator itself looks to be blocked...

like in my pic u can see the radiator through the gap...and the guide covers that?

im probably wrong, as these have been designed to improve air flow etc, but i just cant see how atm.

is their some sort of support on the front edge of the guide? or is it just bolted on at the radiator support?

i'm interested for r33 s2 style front bar and grill (same as lordsnipes pic)

like in my pic u can see the radiator through the gap...and the guide covers that?

I don't think it'll be that much of a prob. The radiator is huge, and unless you have a HUGE FMIC which completely covers the radiator, i don't think you would have any problems in regards to cooling.

Whilst there are supposed benefits of cooling (such as air not being able to escape through that gap and forced through the radiator), I'd think it's more of a cosmetic item than performance.

i thought the whole idea of an air guide was to trap and force the air thru the radiator?? so thats exactly what its doing by sealing it off.

in ur first pic bass ur guide seems to be flat where as the uas is angled, are you able to make it angled??

ill wait till i see the final design before i say yes.

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
