Hey guys

I've put a new pod filter in my skyline due to the piping of the FMIC

anyway it's making shitloads of boost sound even at 2000rpm

is there a way I can control that like buy a boost controller or something???

I really have no idea about forced induction stuff

so if any1 has a pic of where they installed their boost controller that'll be much appreciated

Thanks

I've actually got the airbox, the brand is the netami gold pod filter

there is a hole where the old SMIC piping was,

of which I connected a tube for air intake under the front bar

it makes less noise with the air box but still quite annoyiny when all I want is to drive it normally

the standard airbox can be modified but I'd have to cut a large chunk out of the air intake

which will render it to be not very efficient

When you gota pod filter on, it will make that sucking noise. Its what a pod does.

No point putting a boost controller in to lower the boost on your stock turbo. (BTW Your turbo is stock right?)

I like have the sucking noise with my car, sounds great!

What material is it made from? paper? cotton? steel?

If you want to keep the pod - get one that is paper or cotton - that will quiten it down.

else

fit the stock air box up with a paper or highflow panel filter.

i know what you could be going through, i just took the pod filter of my v8 ute and put the the big airbox with over the radiator surround intake (mouth) because the sound of the induction noise on the pod (paper filter) was very loud, even idleing...

but the HKS pod pn (foam pod filter) my r33, the induction noise gets louder when you are comming onto boost, i do like the induction noise it gives, a deep howling noise...

The induction sound is air sucked through the pod AND the compressor turbine spinning and compressing that air, which was previously muffled with the stock airbox + filter. It's normal (and sounds sahweet) as you come on boost from around 2000RPM+.

haha @ GTST.

There is no way of getting rid of the induction noise with the pod, even if you box it. You'd need some thick heat insulation in there to make quieten it down, but even then I'd highly doubt it'd get rid of the noise like a stock air box.

Pod induction noise, you either love it or hate it. Or just learn to live with it.

    • Following from this in a related by not closely-related sense... Because I was buying a bunch of other GKTech stuff, I got some rear subframe collars. The history that leads up to this is: 25+ years ago the car arrived into the country with stock subframe bushes. At some point shortly thereafter I added Whiteline pineapple rings, set up neutral, and it improved the rear end behaviour. Well, it is my vague memory that I was happier with it with them in. Less axle tramp on launches, generally better, etc etc. ~2012 it got a new non-HICAS subframe with new stock bushes. No pineapple rings. I reckon that ever since then I've been dissatisfied with the axle tramp. Recently I've been f**king around a lot with all aspects of the suspension. One contemplation has been to relocate the rear lower control arm front mount points (and do the other things needed to make that work) to improve longitudinal rear grip by getting rid of some of the stupid anti-squat that Nissan ladled into the R32. But.... before doing that I thought I'd put some collars in. And.... The collars are good. The rear sounds a little bit different, but there has been no significant increase in NVH coming up into the body. In terms of rear behaviour - expansion joints on long sweeping elevated freeway ramps that would sometimes cause the rear to jiggle around a bit, no longer seem to do so. It appears that jamming chunks of metal into the gaps in the rubber so they can't move much is a really good thing. And the launch behaviour and general forward traction situation seems to be greatly improved too. It's impossible to be really sure, because the tyres are completely shagged - they are freakishly willing to let go right now. But as an A-B test with the same tyres it certainly seems to grip up a lot better. Highly recommended to anyone who still has stock bushes.
    • Bit off topic maybe but has anyone had a crack at one of those aftermarket electric compressors ? Bit of a search came up with one put out by Speedy Air Spares. Looks interesting and looks as if you'd have to run a big arse alternator. Found this out after the fact as my air con compressor packed it in and soon after my alternator ! !
    • Yes. Needs new ports. Usually just achieved by screwing an adapter onto them. Be aware that any AC compressor that hasn't been used in a long time will very likely have dried out seals and will not hold gas. Oh, and obviously you will require a new receiver-dryer also.
    • Can you covert an R32's AC from r12 to r134 if the compressor/hoses etc are still all good? Pretty sure on my car the AC was degassed when it was imported  to remove the naughty r12 and save the ozone layer, and the fancy climate control system just blew air around. Was happy to drive the car with windows down back then, but now I am old and need to be kept cool
    • Just to circle back here, I've sold my automatic trans to another Stagea owner in OH.
