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:

      I’m also conscious that e85 is slowly being phased out. Not all United’s have them anymore. Can’t take the risk of being low on petrol and assuming the servo will have it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      MR HAMMER has said his piece. Painted up to avoid Rusty Rusty. Actually lines up well. (i.e it lines up the same as the unmolested GTR guard). Turns out the GTR Strut brace does foul on the bonnet vents ever so slightly. May need a little bendy bendy if intended to keep using with a strut brace. So spacing it out to clear the FAST102 is not an option. Annoyingly, the bonnet vents also foul on the heater lines running over the engine. Given this engine does not EVER require a heater, a delete loop is going to be used. Don't worry, the defogger uses the AC. The heater is basically "Do not use the aircon and turn the fan on". It will still be effective, I promise.... once I get the system regassed... Will have to revisit with unvented bonnet I suppose, and suitable strut brace. There's plans to do this and other things tonight and bleed brakes (there was a weep) and put the bumper back on, and take Good Friday morning - Because troubleshooting on the side of the road limping it home at midnight tonight is ... not very smart.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Thank you all for you assistance. I contacted Nistune regarding the support for the RB20DE along with my ECU Code (23710-10U00). They do have a map for it and added the RB20DE as a purchasable option now as well. They also added Malta as a Billing and Delivery options as this was missing. I was honestly amazed at their quick response and action, it took less than 24 hours. I also looked again at direct fit options for injectors, just in case I were to replace them. DeatschWerks seem to use a Bosch EV14 base and makes ones that fit mine at 440cc lowest, but also have 550cc at the same price. I tried looking for other direct fit options and managed to find one (also Bosch EV14 based) which includes a plug and play adapter on ebay. Did a small test with a Noid Light on the troubled injectors and all seems good, so they are pulsing properly electrically. One weird part is that they are missing on the same two cylinders as before I got the injectors cleaned. Mechanic also found this weird as he did not label the injectors and it is unlikely to have the faulty injectors be installed in the same cylinders.
