Hey People,

I've just put a 3A pod filter on my 92 GTS - T.

I bought it from Dr Drift in Brooklyn Victoria.

Just wanted to let any one know who is thinking of getting one, that they sound fantastic.

The sound and character of my car is totally different.

When the turbo spools it sounds like the pod is going to suck the asphalt off the road. and when you back off you can really hear the stock BOV blow back through the intake pipe, whereas before the whole driving experience was pretty much silent.

The boost seems to come on earlier as well.

I'm really happy with the result of a $35 modification (including the adapter).

Now i'm going to make up a heat shield to house the pod.

Anyway, Onward and Sideways...

Pods will make that sucking noise which sounds sweet and the nice "choo" sound.

There is a thread about which pods gave the best results and 3A came out on top as apposed to APexi, Blitz, HKS, Trust ect.

About the boost kicking in earlier, maybe cause you can hear the pod sucking and at the same time you got a larger intake then just the snorkle / panel filter...

Actually the 3A filter which make noticeable gains in power, combined with a good quality partition to prevent higher intake temps, it's an excellent value for money mod...

If only EPA would be friendly to this AND a cooler :wacko:

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Yea the photos aren't the best. When I was pulling the bumper and headlights out there was a bodyshop guy looking on for it, there is a slight bend behind where the passenger headlight is, but we're talking a few MM and there is a little bit of a bend for the reo. That said it's supposedly well within the "Drill a hole in it and pull it out with a slide hammer to be close enough" and be on our way. The other option is to buy a GTR reo for the GTR bumper bits but this is a $2000+ fix for something Mr Hammer can probably do 99% of the job for and everything will/can line up pretty closely-to-good-enough.

      That's a write off for sure... Part out? 😛 I kid. It looks like the rad support has a minor minor bend in it too where the rep support sits near. Could just be the photos (and me not wearing my glasses right now). Worst case is you can buy a new radiator support, have it swapped over, and leave the car in paint jail for 12 to 18 months while you build the motor to handle twin turbos or a Harrop SC...

      It seems the definition of "Gregging" something might need to be expanded?

      R32 GTR - Where to begin

      This is why I suggested that there is really nothing that can safely be done in the engine bay at this budget level. Just the work to reassure yourself that the engine won't instantly crap itself the moment the boost gets turned up will wear out the piggy bank long before the first turbo gets installed. Spend $10k and still not have any extra performance? My tip is a version of our standard advice from 15 years ago about buying a GTR, which is not to buy one unless you can afford to buy two. The new version is not to modify a GTR unless you have all the funds required to do it all at once, properly, and enough to rebuild it after it blows up.

      Oh, I forgot to mention this before.  It is accepted that your taking on risk buy turning up the power on a 30 year old stock motor. You can lower the risk with the ECU engine protection, but this is more money on sensors. CAN wideband, oil temp, oil pressure, coolant pressure, fuel pressure, air temp, etc. It adds up quick.  I am a huge fan of running all of the engine protection the ECU offers. You'll have to decide for yourself how you want the engine protection setup and what you think is worth monitoring.
