R33 GTST cold air partition

[skyline33]

I couldn't be stuffed making one, so if anyone has a second hand one lying around let me know.

What type of POD filter are you running??

I've got a foam one made up for a HKS filter if that's what you've got.

I've got a Blitz SUS the biggest one, If its like UAS one or something it would be good but i cant warrant 300 for one.

[Jay95R33]

300 !!!! holly craparoonie.....

The one I've got is that 10mm heat proof foam that has a silver heat reflective layer on it.

But I'm not sure if it'll fit a Blitz SUS filter. I sort of custom made it for my HKS filter.

BTW: check out the new smilie :lol: what a dude.....

the 300 dollar one is carbon fibre though, I had about making one from those sun visor thing you put on the windscreen what do you think??

HAHAHAHAHHA

I was thinking of same thing!!

i was saying to myself " if these things can help keep heat out of my car then....[insert light bulb here]"

I also went to clark rubber and bought some heat reflective foam.

Foam on one side HEATER on the other, this stuff does not WORK!

anyone know wat im supposed to look for when i go into Clark rubber?

heat reflective foam?????

is that the stuff used for ducted heating, cause that is another thing I was thinking.

The only thing about using card board and the like, is wouldn't it wear out after a while??

read the guide on how to make your own cold air partition on my website www.performance-mod.com it's not hard...

[Guest DON91E]

Yeh thats the stuff,

That foam crap did nothing,

its $16.70 per square metre,

How much are the heat resistant sun shades?

What I found made a big difference was to make sure that the pod is sealed from sucking air from the engine bay. It wasn't so much as the radiant heat, but the hot air that kills performance.

So I think the foam stuff would be fine if you make sure that it's sealed correctly.

It's no use just putting a heat shield there with big gaps around it and hope that it works. I'm sure it would stop alot of radiant heat, but it'll still suck in heaps of hot air. And hot air is the killer

Anyway, just my 2c
