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...

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.

    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
    • Ye, in terms of bolting up the "Conversion" from a GT to a GTT is effectively "Use GTT parts for everything" Except the subframe itself, because you won't want a HICAS/4WS subframe. Remember your ABS system will be different too, thanks to GT being the S15 3 sensor system, instead of the R34 4 sensor system for wheel speed. I do not know how people get this to work given R34 diffs do not have a provision for an ABS sensor (they are on the tone wheels of the axles). I assume***** people use S15 gear/R34NA forever when they realize this - Or they convert it to a rear diff/axles that are R33 style which I presume has the singular speed sensor on the diff itself, but then you have to wire it all in and...and... and...
    • Foreshadowing was never so easy.
    • The ones in brackets are the first stages of tightening. I usually aim for the middle of the range. They give a range because it's actually not that critical to hit exactly the right bolt tension. Enough is enough, and too much is too much, and the range given is inside that range. Half of the bolts in the suspension are problematic for putting a torque wrench on anyway, so just get done up to mechanic tight  and spanner checked a week later.
