The unshrouded pod will look hectic when the cops hear the fully induction noise, I would use the stock air box (modified) with a panel unless its physically impossible.

Science and physics wins though

oiled filters kill Airflow meter's sensor wire .. so watch out either in a panel or a pod

You my sir are a very knowlegable man ;) but this one i have to disagree with a small amount. I know it has been talked about alot

and some pro people say they are bad and some say they are not.

Well i ran a K&N Panel for 3 years in the GTT no problem and good power boost and i have had one in my daily for years and never a problem. So that makes me think that the only thing that kills Airflow meters is over oiled filters. Hey maybe in the last 5 years i have just been lucky, but i have never had a problem with K&N oiled filters nor do i know anyone that has.. :P

I just like them because they look stock, have dyno proven power increase the same if not better then a pod, never need to be replaced etc.

By they way this is worth a read LINK READ #27 100 out of 100 MAF set to them and tested had no trace of K&N oil. And come on they Sell millions of these if they were that bad they would be broke by now.

LOL end of Rant ... :P

Yeah...if you actually notice the induction noise...

Eh, i'd love to get a standard airbox for my car, and fit a pipe from the front bar into the bottom of the housing. Neatly done, gets direct air flow, and none of this BS heat from the engine.

Brezza is runnign 351rwkw with stock air box and just a K&N filter.

yep!

just stick with the stock airbox, i still even have the front bar snorkel still in place.

i can hear the stock BOV's when i change gears, and there is a slight induction noise i can still hear. but if i had pods running near on 22psi the induction noise would get a little loud and a bit annoying.

the biggest benefit is that when the hood is popped the engine bay still looks stock as!

its also a good sign to see bugs and stuff stuck in the filter when i washed it. it shows that its actually doing its job.

i had foam ones in it a year ago and they didnt filter a thing, there was nothing caught in them. all the dust, dirt and bugs would've gone through the motor.

well i went down to two different supercheap autos last night and couldn't for the life of me find high flow square panels to suit the car, they had K&N pods in a set of three? the staff there (no offence to anyone that may work there) were about as useful as a nun's box, in retrospect i should have taken the measurements of my current panel, could have helped. anyway, who's actually turning up tonight at villis? i'm going to try and get my memebership fee sorted and need to know who to pay. in before :"give the money to the bloke in the skyline" also please take pity on me if you do see me out, my ride is stock, giggling hurts my feelings :)

all that being said, it'll be a pleasure to meet you guys :laugh:

think it might be a vn commo panel that fits, though someone else would have to confirm this

I know the r33 airbox uses VR/VS commodore-sized K&N airpanel filter; the r34 should as well?

Ive got 2 pod filters here with air flow meter adapters that I most likely wont be reusing, in exc. condition.

drive down to morphett vale and we can install here.... no issues.

Pretty sure it's the same panel between my N14sss and the R34 too .. (which yeah, I've been told is the same as many commodores).

The guys at Autobahn Mile End got me mine many years ago, they knew the right one off the shelf. Can't speak more highly of them there.

Brezza, were you at the last SAU-SA Track Day, or have you had your beast around there yet...........if so, how did it go?

Hey Pete,

Nah i havent had the car around Mallala yet, i have signed up for the High Performance Driving day and I've just been trying to get the car ready for that.

I popped one of my cooler hoses a few weeks back and the car has been used only on low boost putting around the streets. I've ordered a whole box of goodies to throw on it. Oil Cooler, intercooler hoses, gauges, braided lines, brake master cylinder stopper.

I'm also trying to source some bigger brakes to throw on the car, cos i'm still running sumitomo's

I dont think my times would be too crash hot, because with the current brakes i've been told they wont handle too many hot laps.

i've got toyo R1R's all round on the car, they're about a year old and are just maybe .5mm off the tread markers. so they've probably got maybe 1 track day left in them then they're in the bin.

I can't wait to get out around there!

well..i went into villis tonight and it was uncomfortable to say the least.. i had no idea who i was looking for and the fact there were 30 pensioners behind me with an acoustic guitar frightened me. it was you guys wasn't it? thats why you drive wagons, to keep your guitars and walking frames handy..

but yeah, dissapointing :) i guess it was my own fault, it's disarming having a room full of peoples eyes glued to you and i was too afraid to ask someone, on the plus side i think i disturbed a few children.

anyway if it's a regular thing i'll come down next friday? i'm pretty easy to spot, a bandy legged kid with a funny hair cut and unsightly tats. so please say hi or at least tell me who to look for.

thanks guys

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!

      Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!

      Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
