Hey,

This may be nothing but just wondering... My brother bought a R33 skyline yesterday and it drives really well! The only thing that was a bit annoying was the POD filter. Was so loud! Alot louder than any POD filters that i have had.

So we took the K&N air pod off today and put on a 3a Racing POD. The sound now is super loud! Even from behind the car I can only hear the airpod and not the exhaust! lol, cant believe how loud the POD is. Was just wondering if there is a reason for this, or if its just normal?

Also his stock boost gauge is nearly hitting the 7+, which is 14psi! lol, the guy said it was set to 7psi but he doesnt have a aftermarket boost gauge. The boost controller is a GFB controller i think. Are the stock gauges normally out by this much?

Thanks :)

hey they not sure about you pod noise problem,

however the stock boost gauge is in BAR and its actually 0.7 which is about 10 PSI, perfectly safe for stock turbo

your pod noise could just be a high flowed turbo and the type of dump pipe on the car, i know my spool noise got a hell of a lot louder when i put on the X-Force dump pipe and then louder again with the pod... just guessing thou :)

I thought the stock gauge is in kg/cm2 isnt it? I think 7 was stock.. but I cant remember. Thats cool that the pod is so loud might be aftermarket turbo?

A box to make it legal will minimise noise, an apexi pod will also quiet it down.

I always thought the stock gauge reads in mmhg?

Becasue 7 mmhg = 14psi.

And if your on Stock boost, the guage should read around 3.5, which is 7psi

Can anyone confirm this please?

Cheers :)

Cheers Guys! :D

Yeah looks like the boost is running hell high! Unless the stock gauge is out by heaps! Gonna hook up a aftermarket boost gauge 2moro and check it out.

Still not sure why the POD is super LOUD! lol, but it doesnt seem to be a problem so wont worry about it for now...

      I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?

      This came quicker than I thought. It ain't even 2025 yet.

      I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
