R33 Heat Shield For Air Intake (how to)

[Unscarred711]

This is how the heat sheild was set up on my last R33 it also had a cold air intake from underneath the front wheel/spoiler and was very effective as you all know how much heat the engine bay produces, im currently making a new one for my new car due to the intercooler pipes being in a different place etc...

The easiest way to get one would be to make it yourself since most cars have a different set up. Its quite easy as im making my second one as we speak.

1.Just take a cut out of cardboard and put it roughly where you want it.

2.Mark all the areas where the pipes are and anything else that is in the way.

3.Cut them out and check it again cutting and shaping it as you go.

4.You can also put bends etc... in the cardboard and tabs etc.. for bolts and so on.

5.Now you have a template, just take it and cut it out of what ever you like(i used 3mm polished alliminium), then bend it up and presto.

It may not fit perfect first time but if you have a real good stencil it should work pretty well.

I also added a little bend to mine to make it look factory.

Cheers hope this helps and if anyone else has some good idea's then lets hear them.
