ive got a custom bonnet with the air filter vent which allows cold air in and ive also got a k&n pod filter directly underneath this vent...

can u guys tell me if it is alrite to drive my car in wet rainy conditions...the thing im worried about is that when it rains the air filter gets soaked in water because of all the rain coming through the vent...or is there a way to overcome this prob??

does a wet air filter make a significant difference to the normal running of the car???

thanks

depends how big the vent is, but also have a drive on a rainy day not for too long and see if there is any water around the pod or if you see water droplets on the pod. But i assume if you have a k&n one they are the oil treated ones so water would just say or run off it, or could be possible to get sucked in. Just check of water after driving and also depends how big a hole it is, if it's not that big it should be okay.

      Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.

      Wiring high beams in IC7 for R32 GTR

      By BourneToLive · Posted

      Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know.

      RB30DET timing belt tensioner relocation query

      By zigrb30 · Posted

      G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.

      Smoothline aka Matthew stone

      Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
