To be honest I think A pod is a bit of waste of time on the small scale of things... Wont increase performance or economy vastly. If you do go down that road... Please god, don't spend $300 on one... You get such a minor difference if any!

a $20 supercheap 3A pod filter actually flows better then most of the good name brand ones do.....meh a cheap $20 one for me does the job

Dont be soft. Treat em mean, keep them keen!

doesnt sound like you Vu....mel you slap you :P

They try and rip you with the proformance crap. Oi Krish, come down to Dotti's after and help me put her new seats in.

I think a free flowing exhaust and cleaner intake system will help with fuel economy.

FYI: I was getting about 500k's to a full tank in my 270rwkw GT-R with a good 2nd gear burst from time to time

I'd be lucky to see half that in the 32, although i don't putt around on a daily basis. Stagea will see about 500km if i can keep my right foot under control, always seem to have trouble doing that though :P

I to have trouble with that darn right foot. I couldn't control it even if i tried.

Filled up my GTT to full the other day and down to half today and only reads 118km so far...

hey guys thats a great help and to be honest with you,before i joind SAU,i was thinking how do i am going to find out about my skyline but all easy now...just put question and all around answer's.

i am growing my knowladge about the skyline's day by day.I spend heaps of times on this website and every time i am learning new thing's..

To be honest last week when police(under cover cop's) stopped me,that was my first encounter with the police :( but thats fun to have a skyline,isn't...

That is pretty bad! My old R33 when I filled it to the brim I got nearly that much as the needle just moved down to the upper full mark on the fuel guage.

Ben: Mel is a real lady and will use an open hander not closed fist :(

Mine is the same. Usually get 480-540Km's per full tank, although it might be time to look at replacing the oxygen sensor

installing a pod is easy as mate.....get a 3A pod filter from supercheap and a adapter to suit your car....you can find one there....take out your air box and just bolt the adapter in, slam the pod on top and presto you has a pod filter :) drive down to your exhaust place and get them to make 2 brackets to secure your pod filter.....for intercooler you can get one of the ISC (sau:sa club sponsor) and apparently people who are using them have been quite happy with them.....for exhausts it all depends on how much you wanna be paying for it....but i would suggest getting one made by AM Performance (sau:sa club sponsor) his work is perfection....and customer service is even better....a few of the boys here have been running his blast pipe system (including me) and i am happy as larry......

ps: club sponsors give sau:sa members 10% discount.....so in case of getting a 1k+ exhaust you will end up saving a bit :P

hey mate could please send me the address of ISC for FMIC...

Hey Nozila or other guys,could you please give me some idea how much its cost to change "UPPER CONTROL ARM BUSH'S"....or if it is possible for you guys to give me some help to change them....thnx

i tried in 5 years old thread this question but some one gets angry,sorry but i wana asked you guys a question it is wrong to write in related thread if thats a 5 year old thread even though the person who started still in the forum?

anyways i went to the workshop and they asking $450 to supply and change upper control arm,i doubt it about the price,what do you think guys...

Ps.. i tried diffrent thread but couldn't found perticular answer in SA thread...

i've got a 32 GTR and i had over 600kms which was steady country driving, and it was almost empty, 69L went into a 72L tank.

normal driving i used to get 500kms regularly when i had 250rwkw, and i still get that know with over 300rwkw it just depends on my driving. if i go flat chat through the hills then ecconomy goes out the tail pipe as well as the flames!

even with heavy foot driving i still get about 350ish kms to a tank.

ah sorry dude i just saw this....but i was busy anyway :).....as if you know Dotti lol

hey mate could please send me the address of ISC for FMIC...

ISC is a trader on the forums mate....http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/SAU-Trader-ISC-Performanc-f171.html

pm him and ask mate

Regency-friendly adjustable bushing kits are about $230... there was no way in hell I could get the old bushing off so I took it to Pedders down the road and got them to remove it for $10(should of been $20 but they didnt have the right change from my $50 note) and then I took the control arms home and fitted up the bushings myself - wasnt too hard.

    • Because there is still an engine underneath that turbo. PSI is not a measurement of power, it's a byproduct of resistance. What would be really decent is to have a CFM gauge on the output of a turbo to see how much it's actually pushing. 21psi (as an example) is not the same amount of air at 3000rpm as it is at 7000rpm, even if the boost controller is controlling boost at "21psi". The engine is inhaling and exhaling way more air at 7000 than at 3000, even if it's less efficient.
    • don't want anything more or less, I don't really understand why the torque still goes up to 6000-6500, while the boost peak is around 4000. if it only comes from the cams or from the boost controller etc.  
    • I'm not sure you understand the physics of what you are asking. Can you draw on the dyno graph what you want to have happen? I'm thinking this is a functional impossibility here, unless you chose a turbo literally so laggy that torque is at max at 7000rpm and artificially choked prior to that. Power and Torque are intrinsically linked. Power is just Torque over time. What you're really seeing in the torque graph is "Power per RPM" if that makes any sense whatsoever. You still get more power at 7000rpm than 5000rpm, because it is "power per RPM" and you have more RPM. at 7000 than you do at 5000. You still feel more powerful at 7000rpm. The torque graph will influence the rate of power increase per RPM.
    • Welcome!  If possible,  would live to see some pics. How long was it away getting the work done? Hopefully it feels like a new machine.
    • yes indeed the graphic format makes a visual difference but there is on average 120nm more between 4000 and 6000rpm on the curves it is not nothing. you are right, the cams influence the torque curve. I was able to chat with one of the Hypergear tuners, he confirmed that a boost control allows you to manage the pressure after the spool. the absolute pressure (psi) on the graphics is measured where? It seems that the cams affect the maximum pressure depending on the regime but I may be wrong.   not pleasant to drive before 4000? if we spend our lives between 1000 and 3000 rpm as you say then we might as well just run diesel turbos
