Hi Guys,

Just wondering who has one installed in their car? I would like to purchase one and install it as the stock rubber one is likes to collapse in summer and restrict boost. I've used the silicon ones as well, not really a fan.

Below is the one by Performance Wise, it's half the price of the Apexi Suction Kit but is laid out slightly different, so I am afraid of fitment. Not too sure how it would fit.

Does anyone have one of these fitted to their car? photos would be great!

OR if someone wants to sell me their Apexi Suction Pipe, I'll buy it for the same price of the one below :yes:

Ive got the Apexi kit which I bought from Paul (Performance Wise) and the one above looks almost the same. Send Paul an email or PM and ask him. He is a really honest, top bloke who I have bought almost all of my parts from over the years and he has NEVER led me astray.

He will tell you the difference, they do make a little more induction noise though. Let me know if you want pics of the Apexi kit

hi mate,

Yeah I did send a message to Paul on eBay lol

He told me to post it up on SAU and ask you guys if anyone is using one.

From what I've seen, the Apexi Suction kit is very different, the BOV return and the cam cover line is placed differently.

:(

Not sure if this helps out, but this is what the suction kit comes with for an R33 GTS - I didn't have a picture, so just copied one from a website.

The suction kit uses the black hoses to join up with the original ones, which insert into the OEM rubber intake.

So the performance wise kit should do the same I assume.

Ive got the performance wise kit, and its tops.

fitted it up when I installed my GT30r turbo

Hey Tangles, could you post up a photo of it and where you've plumped back the lines?

Can you still install this sort of piping with the factory airbox?

I don't think so....but I could be wrong...? Looking at mine...I don't think it will line up and fit...

Can you still install this sort of piping with the factory airbox?

it will not line up unfortunately, the original turbo intake pipe has more bends than that pipe. I've already installed a airbox partition I bought from Hi Octane Racing, great fit cheaper than other places. I picked it up from their showroom and I told them I was from SAU and it cost me $80.00 what a bargain!

Cheaper than a few other suppliers.

Tangles!

got the photos yet buddy?

......... and on this topic, I've damaged the mesh on my AFM, it's disrupting air flow measurements and the car is knocking quite hard.

I've got a highflow stock r33 turbo.. doing 235kws... running 17high boost and 14low boost now if i put this in and replacing my OEM pipe... would this make any diffrence? people are saying the stock pipe gets sucked in and closed...

cant say i felt or heard much diff with the standard turbo. but let us know how it goes geraus. mines decided it wants to stay in a spot where it rubs on someting and make a farking annoying squeking sound.

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
