Hey guysngals,

I'm getting a pod filter for my R34 GTT, and I stumbled upon this:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/BLACK-Pod-Air-Filter-Heat-Shield-Skyline-R32-R33-R34-/120673901562?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1c18b99bfa

Yes? No? Maybe? Looks pretty fool-proof, but I'm not sure if it's just a gimmick to trap n00bs like me.

Opinions? And I apologise if this has been covered, I did search to no avail. If so, could you please just link me.

Thanks all

Can't see how it would do anything, the hot air will just go around it... Would help a bit if you had a CAI I guess, but not as much as a fully enclosed box.

I recommend just making your own air box, it's easy as and works out fairly cheap. Looks and performs way better too.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By Sxnjeet · Posted

      interesting. ive read and heard otherwise over the past year. ive been doing this +t conversion on a rb20 neo using all oem rb25det neo parts including the ECU, and im having engine cut out issues when I hit around 5 psi of boost. Everywhere/everyone ive asked has told me its because I never wired in a boost solenoid/actuator to the ecu, so the ecu isn't getting the right signal once it hits 5 psi of boost, causing the engine to get shut off.

      Mate, I take this thread in random directions on occasion myself, so no foul I'm a old fan of MCM anyway, I like their banter, and enjoy most of the stuff they do

      Something strange is happening. I didn't touch the car since we last spoke on the forums. Yesterday was the first day of good weather, so i took it out for about 2 hours. It started up on first crank every time about 5 times total. I literally didn't do anything to do the car.

      I purchased this one. Very well priced and works great. I was rough with it to see if it will last and had no issues.  Teslong Two-Way Articulating Borescope with Light, Industrial Endoscope Inspection Camera with Articulated Probe, Flexible Mechanic Fiber Optic Snake Scope Cam for Wall Automotive Engine Inspect-5FT : Amazon.ca: Industrial & Scientific

      I've done about 4000km's on it. I'm thinking of maybe "Working" from home aka my garage this week and getting it out so I can drop it off early next week. He said bring it over right away and didn't make any excuses, so it seems like he's going to work with me on getting it resolved asap. I'll let you know what I find when I take it apart later this week.
