Hi

Just bought this car and wanted all you experts to let me know if there is anything that you spot with the engine or does it look standard to you ?

Here's the pic ....

Thanks Zak

Looks pretty much standard apart from the induction kit and the little black box next to the fuse box (probably something to do with an aftermarket gauge of some sort). Can also see what look like bonnet pins next to the rad mounts.

Congrats on your purchase mate.

Yep, M's induction kit and the black box is the dual solenoid for a blitz boost controller.

Thanks - taken me a while but I've finally got my Skyline

Whats a M's induction kit ?

Zak · 23rd October 2005, 11:05 AM

Excuse my ignorance but does it have an aftermarket dump valve or is it standard ?

You will have to take a picture of it through the grill below the drivers side headlamp. What colour are you fuel injectors thought I could see a hint of Blue in the photo

Hi

Is the BLitz sus induction kit any good ?

Excuse my ignorance but do I have an M's induction kit and a Blitz sus induction kit ?

I would say its a Blitz SUS.

According to a filter test (can be found on here somewhere), they fared quite badly filtration wise. Apexi's were the best

Zak · 24th October 2005, 06:55 PM

I saw that after posting....

But they say that the HKS and Blitz are the most popular in the UK as well ?

They also said that it may have been an attempt for Apexi to sell their product as well

Do you think I should change it then ? Would it make a difference ?

r33 v-spec · 24th October 2005, 07:08 PM

TBH i myself don't know if it was a fair test and like you say for someone to sell their product better.

Like you say no doubt, HKS and Blitz are the most popular in the UK. But at least in the Skyline scene, i see alot of people run apexi now, mostly i guess since that report.

Changing it; again if you base your opinions on that report then yes. Otherwise, maybe stick to what you have and clean the filters regularly. Don't know about the Blitz ones, but the HKS filters are reasonably priced, so its good to replace them totally after a while.

But i do agree that different materials will make an effect on filtration levels, and taking that into account, will decide which filter kit you go for.
