I put in a HKS air pod filter in my R33, but the thing is, its just floating about now. I never got pulled over by coppers or got a yellow sticker. just wanna b safe. Wat do you guys do to hold the pod down? cable ties? is there a custom brace i can buy? WAT DO I DO?? ;)

my car came with a hks mushroom pod from japan, and it was secured by two metal braces that were bent at the end so it could use the factory holes meant for the airbox to hold the pod in place. Would be easy to d.i.y your own ones with some sheet metal

Cable ties would be a good band aid fix but I doubt it would impress the cops.

He said he has a pod. Cops wont like that period. Cable ties, metal brackets, boxed or unboxed, your still gonna get defected.

dont know about in WA but in qld the pod only has to be secure... run down to bunnings and grab some 8mm drilled metal strips, or just one for that matter, cut it to the length u need with some tin snips or the likes, drill out the holes at either end to about 10mm and you should be able to fit it from the pod to the factory airbox bolt locations with the factory bolts, simple, take you 10mins if that and it holds pretty strong

:rofl:

    • Hey everyone,   I’m looking for some advice on replacing the timing belt on my RB25DET Neo-powered 1998 Skyline. The engine was fully built about five years ago, including a fresh timing belt, water pump, and other essentials. However, since then, the car has only covered around 2,000–3,000 miles. It’s currently making around 650hp.   Even though the mileage is low, I know timing belts have a time-based lifespan too, and most recommendations suggest changing them every five to six years or 50,000 miles. Since I’m at that time mark, I’d rather not take any risks and plan to swap it out soon.   A few things I’d like to hear opinions on: 1. What’s the best belt for this setup? Should I go with an OEM Nissan belt, or is the HKS fine-tune a better choice given the power level? 2. Would you bother replacing the idler pulley and tensioner at the same time, or only if they show wear? 3. When swapping the belt, is it necessary to lock the cam and crank gears in place, or is lining up the timing marks enough? I’ve seen different approaches, and I want to make sure I do it right.   The water pump was changed with the rebuild and isn’t run off the timing belt, so I don’t see a need to replace it again. I just want to make sure I approach this the right way.   Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!
    • How does this compare to the internally gated g25-550 in terms of power production at same psi and spool
    • Did you find that your voltage of the battery wasn't where it's normally supposed to be? for example on my r34, it's at 14.5v when running after a few seconds, but I noticed when I had a rough start and it initially wasn't idling correctly, the voltage on my triple gauge cluster was showing lower than usual. Seems like the alternator is starting to crap itself
    • And, given that you're in NC, go buy an LS7 or something equally sweet and piss that crappy old RB off. Or call up Wesley Kagan and get his help putting a Merc V12 into it.
    • Do a compression test, and a bore scope on the cylinder that lost parts of the plug. Chances are, that cylinder isn't so happy anymore...
