I've heard if you replace it with a bag of frozen peas you can gain a few kilowatts. Not sure the legality is of this and also you need to make sure your peas STAY frozen.

You see how the turbo works is it forces more cold air into the engine faster, how a bag of peas works is it just keeps everything nice and cold from the get go. After you go for a drive you should be able to just wack em in te freezer ready for your next cruise. On longer journeys however it is advised that you bring a couple of extra bags in an esky.

NA 33's aren't all that hard to find. I picked mine up off carsales for 3k with 6 months rego and some minor issues.

Quick look on carsales just now has shown me at least 5 within the first couple of pages.

3k!?!

edit: what the heck were the minor issues and how long ago was this?s

December, 180,xxxk's, little rough around the edges but overall not in too bad nick. Needed new P/s pump & had a noticeable miss which with a new set of spark plugs and the superspark coilpacks dude gave me that he said didn't work chucked in is all sorted. Dude selling it was a bit of a nuffer.

seriously though, have there been more of these threads lately?

To OP, assuming you're not la bomba (lol), search to make sure that 1: the question you're asking hasn't been asked a million times; and 2: the question you ask isn't just plain stupid/illegal/illogical/pointless. And when you search you'll realise how freaking lucky you are that the minor flaming in this thread was quite easy-going compared to some of the others.

Anyways, buy an NA... Or Mohsen's dunnydore

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.

      Factory oil temp sensor in a RS4V without gauges?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.

      R34 GTT AC short cycling ? Normal behaviour?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
