Agree with Juz. Considering you're not driving a turbo, investment in a pod filter will deliver very marginal returns in terms of performance. The best investment for you would be a high flow panel filter - K&N make good filters and are guaranteed for life, service needed every 30,000kms. I use a high flow K&N panel filter in my EVO 8 MR and wouldn't convert to a pod filter unless I purchased a cold air box or relocated the pod to the front bar. Cheers Shanil

This is so cool!!!

had a r34 gt25 not long ago and would be lucky to reach 450+ on a full tank of 98 octane with conservative driving. getting about the same on my evo 8 mr.

What up!

This topic has been covered many times before. My opinion - go for a high flow panel filter like a K&N. Though you'll only be looking at minimal power gains. To maximise bang for buck, you could run another pipe from the front bumper up to the airbox for extra cold air (together with the stock airbox intake funnel). I think pod filters are a waste of time with or without a heat shield. Cheers

That cool brother, I'm sure I'll be at many SAU events this year so we'll cross paths for sure! F1 RE30s take my pick! Thanks for the kind words on the Evo, suffering from the modification bug - working hard to fall broke even harder!

Buy a shitbox and save the money to buy something very decent once you hit your full licence. I know it will be hard, but it's well worth it.

favourite car of the day: Matt's r34 with the re30s (Terry's ex-34). Looks hot Matt!!

Agreed, looks fantastic outside.

Hills Motorsport is reputable here. Have not heard of NUTS Performance though. State Roads are pre-purchase vehicle inspectors and that would be my first point of contact for an independent inspection. I had one done recently for an Evo 8 MR and can send you the report if you PM me your email. --> www.stateroads.com.au

Thanks guys Yep the MR edition comes stock with the Bilsteins, CF hood, lghter aluminium roof, turbo setup is slightly different, cam profiles a little more aggressive. It's my first AWD car and absolutely loving the corners!! Also my first turbo and manual car so the last couple of weeks have been a learning curb on both fronts. R34Liner - sorry mate I only have a handful of pics of my actual ride which my brother took to experiment with his new camera. If you want to know what it looks like, it's exactly like this: Evo 8 MR See you guys on Sunday!

Hey gang After quite a bit of browsing the market for a 33 or 34 GTR, I came across a car that I found was to be a little bit better value for money and in my budget - a Mitsubishi Evolution 8 MR. I miss my 34 and waving to other Skylines as I drive past, but I'm having tons of fun with this car. I'm still keen to be an active SAUer and attend everything I can. See you at Putty Road. Enjoy! Cheers Shanil

sweet as, cheers fellas! I'll probably go ahead with it and see where I end up!

love it. will definitely persuade the rents to pick one up.

Don't like this new design...Is it me or has there been a decline in Mercedes' build quality and style? I've been in their showroom a handful of times recently and really don't like what I'm seeing.

piggyback it for N/A.

This is probably the first piece of real technical knowledge for me. Very nice!

Good move Juz. Get all the advice that you can. My opinion is to establish a business and brand on your own terms. Being a franchisee sometimes means your business operations run on the basis of your franchisor's terms, not your own. Good luck with it mate!! Hope all is well.

just grab yourself a high flow k&n panel filter and it will do the same job. a pod will just suck in hot air from your engine bay and even if you use a heat shield it is hardly effective.

Hey gang It's good to be back on SAU. Unfortunately I have crossed over to the dark side by purchasing an Evolution VIII MR. So, I've started making a list of things I want to do and have come across the placement of my boost, oil temp etc gauges on my a-pillar. However there's a question mark over it for me since I'm not particularly sure if this is legal or not (for driver vision reasons) and was wondering how many of you have experience with this. I am in NSW by the way. Cheers Shanil

haha Terry, i will have my evo 8 mr in two days! This will be my come back cruise to Skylines Australia...just not in a Skyline. Can't wait, I went in 2009 (i think?) in the 34 and had lots and lots and lots of fun!!!
