Hey all i have one of those apexi super pod filters and i want to install but not going to do it without a proper heatshield. I cant be bothered making one myself so which would be the best ones for the R33 skylines i have a series 2 but R33 i assume are all the same. I have seen the clear top ones sold here any reviews on them?? I know a guy who has one and got it ceramic coated to make sure the pod is properly cooled would this be the best way to go as its enclosed and protects pod/afm from dirt/water?? what about those UAS cold air boxes are they any good and protect the pod aswell as afm from water and stuff?? or should i get one custom made by a shop?? so many choices so hard to choose. Im NOT after a budget option either im after high quality. btw i have the standard intercooler.

Keep your standard snorkel and pair it up with a ARC Super Induction Box ( http://www.nengun.com/catalogue/product/658 ) - $500.

is the standard snorkel any good for briging in air? it seems like air cant get to the mouth of it when the bonnet is closed because of the front nose pointing down on the bonnet..

the uas one reduced temps alot when i combined it with tubing from the front bar to the hole where the stock cooler pipe went...

i dont think the snorkel will work with the UAS one since its fully enclosed on the top and side

I have the UAS one and am getting a satainless steel cold air duct made for it which will go to the front bar.

Plan to have a square to round transition sitting behind the opening in my bar which will be fitted to 3" pipe and feed under the pod :D

Use Standard snorkle, with the airbox made by Mr_crust (think this his username)

I have got it, and has worked fine!! no dramas at all and i have a apexi pod as well..

However once i get a front mount, will use that standard hole n feed more air in from there as well..

Also im sure air goes thru the standard snorkle. I know it doesnt look like it but im sure NISSAN would have tested it..

      You're making my point for me. 95 is not "premium". It is a "slightly higher octane" version of the basic 91 product. The premium product that they want people to buy (for all the venal corporate reasons of making more profit, and all the possibly specious reasons of it being a "better" fuel with nicer additive packages) is the 98 octane stuff. 95 is the classic middle child. No-one wants it. No-one cares about it. It is just there, occupying a space in the product hierarchy.

      98 and 95 have to meet the same national fuel standards beside the actual RON.  91 has lower standards (which are quite poor really), so 95 is certainly not 91 with some octane booster. It would be an easier argument to claim 98 is just 95 with some octane boosters. Also RON doesn't specify 'quality' in any sense, only the octane number.  Anything different retailers decide or not decide to add to their 95 or 98 is arbitrary and not defined by the RON figure.

      95 is just a scam outright. 98 is the real "premium" with all the best detergents and other additive packages, and at least historically, used to be more dense also. 95 is just 91 bargain basement shit with a little extra octane rating. Of course, there's 91 and there's 91 also. I always (back in the 90s early 2000s) refused to put fuel in from supermarket related fuel chains on the basis that it was nasty half arsed shit imported from Indonesia. Nowadays, I suspect that there is little difference between the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the "bargain" chains and the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the big brands, given that most of it is coming from the same SEAsian refineries. Anyway - if there's still anything to that logic, then it would apply to 95 also. 98 is only made in decent refineries and, as I said, is usually the "premium" fuel, both in terms of octane rating and "use this because it's good for your engine because it's got the unicorn jizz in it!".
