Its just natural for the multi sensory experience to be appealing... i guess its a different case from person to person.... I like the sounds it makes, not because all my mates will hear it and think its fully sick, its just a pleasing sound for ME....if u dont like ur exhaust sound, get a silencer!

I agree with franks.

I elected a 3" straight through exhaust with a 3" tip. I told the exhaust shop I wanted it done to be as silent as they could make it.. Yes I knew it was going to be loud. I said this is why I kept the tip the same size, and opted for just a no frills stainless muffler, no rice cannon thanks.

The result? A very very smooth and powerful sound. It's definately, but loud in a powerful way. Like a european super car.

Not like those guys driving around in civics (and some with silvias) with 4.5" tips that sound and look like a milo tin rattling. Sounds like shite.

Well after a 10 day wait in delivery (damn postman having a xmas holiday grrr) I replaced my HKS Pod filter with the standard airbox and a standard panel filter (came with it). Wasn't difficult to do but damn I can't wait till the new Snap-On tool set arrives, it'll make like so much more easier.

Ahhh sweet sounding RB25DET with no pod induction noises :P:):)

Under 3,500rpm it feels more responsive but over 3,500rpm i think its lacking power over the HKS Pod filter. I'm not in a great hurry to replace the standard panel filter with a K&N unless I can find 1 at the right price so i'll just see how fuel comsuption goes now with the standard paneil filter vs pod filter.

I've never had a pod but there was a bit of a difference once i put my K&N panel in... I'm getting a fmic on thursday and still keeping the factory box, i'll just be modding the factory snorkel as the piping will hit it :D

I've got a FMIC with the piping useing the standard holes in the corner, nothing needed to be modded on the stock airbox to make it fit.

I was looking into an fmic like that... i found one i liked but the piping was going to be lower than my front bar (which is very low) so the piping would hit the ground... so i have to got with the other style...

Ben, why didn't you just get a box for the pod?

I have the box from UAS (infact I've had it for 11mths and it cost me like $200). But I didn't like my Pod filter, too noisey and it needed modding just to fit in with my IC pipes. Also I didnt have a CAI for it so the only air it was getting was the dirty hot engine bay air.

The stock box makes the car such a pleasure to drive now. No wooshing or hissing sounds :D

Edit: Still have the UAS box here too so if anyone wants it PM me an offer :D

franks but u campared the stock airbox to an exposed pod in the engine bay tru? im sure a high quality oiled pod in airtight heat proof box wif a phat CAI would give more gains then both options, ive heard of people netting 10kw@ the wheels wif a custom box setup but i havent seen any proof

I dropped into my local AutoOne on the way home today and they sell the K&N Panel Filter for $109.95 and the Redline Panel Filter for $71.25

They had a K&N setup on a bench which consisted of a large perspex box with a hole cut in the front with the K&N Panel Filter connected to it. At the back (inside the box) was 2 massive 15cm electric fans sucking the air through the filter. A ping pong ball was in a plastic cylinder and the ball did not move no matter if the K&N Air Filter was in place or whether it was removed with no filter.

Excellent airflow if you ask me...

    • It's unfortunate what Tomei USA has done to Tomei's name in general. I'm very weary of ordering parts from them now. I only order direct from a Japanse source (e.g Nengun). At least their logos are different, so you end up knowing what you have. 
    • Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including. 
    • If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s. 
    • Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.
