i was thinking i have a 400r front body kit and behind it i have a scoop for my cold air induction then the air goes to my inclosed pod filter. what i was thinking is if i were to seal the cold air induction to my pod (seeing as my inclosser would let most of my air out).

would i gain power or would my ecu be "like wtf is going on here..." and wouldnt be able to ajust to it. the scoop throws in a lot off air in.. at least i think it does. would it be a gud idea?

by sealing do you mean, sealing all the gaps around your cold air box with silicon or watever?

i had a similar setup on my old car, same front bar and everything, i didnt seal my box.

you wont find much of a difference in just sealing the box up, sure it will make the air a little bit colder, but meh.

the ecu wont change

be prepared to clean your pod alot more often, as the cold air induction pipe brings in all the dirt off the road, i was amaized how dirty mine got after about 6 months of using the pipe.

Ive done this, Just with a UAS Box though, I havent made it air tight or anything... Clutch is right, it will make your pod alot dirtier, if you dont mind cleaning it more often I think its probably better than no cold air feed at all...

      Squeaky bushes

      To clarify, I meant nismo bushes, not control arms (don't even think that's a thing for my car). So the suspension specialist said, if I buy those nismo bushes which are perfectly centered it will cause my car to veer in one direction. Whereas he said the current offset bushes that I have were put in on purpose to fix that issue. This will be my third wheel alignment if I put these bushes in lol. My chassis is straight, all my rails are clean.

      OK, well, in that case, the suspension specialist is either a moron, or you aren't understanding what he was trying to tell you. Nismo arms are not really different than stock arms. Both are fixed geometry. I don't know if the Nismo ones are a little shorter than the stockers (or perhaps even a little longer) or the same length, but....if you swap from stock to Nismo, whatever happens to one side will happen to the other side. It will not cause it to steer left or right. That is unless you have adjustable bushes in your stockers, and they happen to be adjusted to dial out some bent chassis shenanigans. But, if that were the case, you'd just put adjustables in the Nismo arms anyway, because Nismo arms are essentially just expensive stock arms. And doing a wheel alignment is just a weekly thing in my world. I have had the suspension apart so many times this year that I've lost count and just about worn out a torque wrench. I'm out in the shed right now cutting up some alloy section and making bases for my new stringline setup. Got to make new swivel plates next, then I'm good to do toe properly, as well as camber and bump steer.

      R34 RB25 Neo sounds like a diesel

      Yeah, nah. Not a thing. The gasket between the top of the plenum and the runners is far more likely to blow out when it gets old, and not really at ~14 psi. These things have been run to double that for 30 years without that being a common thing.

      I plan to pull the intake manifold off and check the gaskets, i read that the block to manifold gasket can blow over 14psi and when i picked up the car it was set to 1.2bar on the controller. Send the injectors out for cleaning. Ill also pull the cam covers off and do an inspection, check some valve lash. Someone also said that the timing belt can rub or vibrate against the belt cover and make that sound. Definitely need to get an AFR gauge on it, if it was lean idling im sure it wont be happy
