Word of advice,

If youre going with a pod, buy a 3A brand filter... $30 at most and outperforms ALL big brand jap and local stuff in filtering ability and most in flow too. Usually sold at Motorquipe.

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 :banana: 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

oooh. so it was you who was going back and forward in the white 34.

yeah... we were all sitting in the outdoor area.

There were a few skylines parked in the carpark/street, including 2 stageas :(

Drop in again this friday and say hi ya big girl :whistling:

i just switched from a Apexi power intake pod/with heatshield to stock airbox with K&N panel - seems to be slightly less hesitant and pulls just as hard/harder (definitely more quiet) so i might stick with the panel for a while!

do miss the induction sound from the pod already tho...oh well :down:

Not so sure Dave, I've been doing alot of reading into the arc airbox. They have no direct air flow to them so sucking hot air from the engine bay, there heavy so I'm thinking a well setup pod, heatshield and cai would be much better.

I'm a fan of people hooking up 1 or 2 plastic pipes from the bumper grille, into the standard airbox. Wouldn't mind seeing what happens then. Only colder air, less police attention in the engine bay.

theyre heavy? news to me.

ive got the 'lack of direct airflow' thing covered, a $5 cai from bunnings running from next to the passenger side foglight to the hole right in front of the airbox. problem solved.

just ditched my apexi pod for stock box and hi flow panel

sound = not so mean... but pulls better then a heat soaked pod

now to remake the intake snorkel into a wide mouth carbon fibre funnel and create headlight cover with flow direction into the snorkel ???

increase the lid top intake velocity/flow by doubling the hole size and smooth/direct flow inside the box

sound = not so mean... but pulls better then a heat soaked pod

this is what i found when i changed from twin pods to the stock air box on the GTR, i noticed straight away that the car kept pulling hard right high into the revs, with the pods on it seemed to feel like it would hiss and make induction noise but then the power would trail off as all its sucking in is hot air.

i did miss the suction noise so i put the pods back on, but the loss in power because of the 'hot air intake' was not worth the sound.

on the GTR i have pulled that resonator thing out of the front bar, so running 16psi low and 21psi high boost i can hear the induction noise through that a little more.

seems like troy and i went from the same setup on the same cars back to the standard box! both had benefits...

+1 on your idea for the 'darth vader' of air intakes dude, anybody know anyone in adelaide who can custom make this sort of shit?

    • 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!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • 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!
    • 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.
