Hey, i have an R33 and i was reading up about cold air intakes. Apparently they sound like they are pretty good for your car, increases performance, increases engine life, increases fuel economy etc.

Would it be worth getting one put in my R33 Non Turbo?

And does anyone know how much they cost?

If you have a pod you need one as the air temp under your hood gets pretty high( hot intake air = bad), if you still have your standard air box you can just get a quality filter and it will still flow fine.

- Inlet air temp is jut as important in an n/a application.

Oh ok, thanks. What are pods? Do all cars have them?

a "pod" is an air filter that replaces your stock airbox

in some cars you can gain a small amount of power by replacing the airbox with a pod

nonturbo cars dont gain much power and makes them sound like fart, so dont bother

Im sorry gfunkk if the sound of induction is not to your liking.

Ive had a few n/a cars with a open filter and they sounded great.

Its just a pity about the heat they suck.

TYSON 1990, get some cold air in there mate and a good filter and it will sound and go better (a little bit anyway), you could try a GTS-T CAI or fab up some duct yourself out of some 100mm duct(bunnings ; ), or relocate a pod filter to the front bar (no fun with puddles) or put on a pod but fab or buy a cold air box have a look through justjap.com.au for ideas youll get all the air you need from around the headlight area.

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
