Hey guys ive got an r32 GTST and i was wondering whats the best thing to use POD/Panel Filter/CAI wise? Im as pov as it gets at the moment so buying a professional CAI kit is out of the question. Anyway so what would work better, my POD that im using at the moment or the stock air box with a K&N panel filter with piping coming out of it going down to the front bar?

Also, how would either way effect the noise of the spooling and blowoff as i have the stock plumback, would it be louder or quieter?

I'm running the stock air box with K&N panel.

What I did is remove the standard unduction thing under the LH headlamp. Then got some 3" convoluted hose and simply stuffed it in the residual hole and it hangs down into the gap in the front bar where the air for the (standard) IC is.

The airbox will keep any induction noise to a minimum, and you will have a good source of cold air for the engine.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      Is rebuilding it even a thing? Where would the shop find parts for it? I looked at some off these local online stores for my r34 and suprisingly they had brand new aftetmarket ones for $600-800 I think. I guess r32 might be a bit tougher.

      I remember the days when E85 was priced in according to the $ per km outcome. Sure E85 was about 35% cheaper, but you also lost about 35% range... now it's fked..

      A little PU bush story

      They do. The pale yellow translucent ones from Japan were .... I dunno. Useless? Whiteline and SuperPro are probably fairly similar. There's bound to be a range of different hardnesses amongst the dozens of options on the market. The simple fact is that the pineapples don't get up inside the bush at all. They just sort of exist in the space between the washer/bracket and the subframe's bush outer tube, and...exert a bit of force between them? Or something like that. I'm sure that with enough provocation, they will simply allow one to move wrt the other.

      I'm not sure they came in different hardnesses? Going from memory only - I had set them up in the balanced setup. I also have poly bushes, so I have both poly bushes and pineapples. This is what my memory tells me at least. I'll have to take a look under there to be sure. The tramp was so bad that I managed to eject/kill a diff bushing, so those I know are stock. The tramp is bad enough that you are 200% sure you are doing severe damage to the car. It's not just chirping or vibration, it feels like you're hitting a speed hump/kerb 10 times a second. The issue has persisted between subframes! (I went from Hicas to non hicas subframe and replaced every bush a few years ago now) so I'm entirely lost. Every arm is factory.

      Can recommend the Frenchys kit, been using it 2 years now with no issue, very happy with it.  Only thing for me was upgrading the thermo fan but I am super fussy on cooling.   Also interested in electric AC, partly for boot mount to have a clean bay and partly would love the idea of cooling off the car before i get in. The battery setup to do that might be tricky / expensive though.  Found this an interesting watch.
