well i got bored today and thought i would remove my dual battery setup in the surf, replace with a damn expensive single battery and get rid of the factory air intake (which was on passenger side of engine bay) and chucked in a k&n pod on the drivers side where the 2nd battery used to be.

This leaves plenty of room for my top mount r33 intercooler now :P

well i just went down to the chinese takeaway and got half the town looking.. with the loud psshhh! as i pull in :P sweet

took heaps of planning and then 1hour max. I had pulled everything apart so many times i knew exactly what to do.

The induction noise is a pain in the arse, but i got K&n as at just over $100 i thought it would have to be better than the $40 ****ty ones.

the main time was trying to get the damn pipe onto the turbo as the aircon sits right in front. let me just say i hope i never have to take it off!!

Probably because they make the best filters in the world.....! Every single filter test I have read has the k&n in front and the trust one last:lol:

A couple of year ago I was at the Coffee Club at Broardbeach and a guy in a Ferrari 355 pulled up with Japanese plates and everything......He told me a big story about how he was one of the owners of HKS (Not sure but a good story) after I raced him in my starlet.....anyway he had all this cool HKS gear on the 355 but a pair of K&N filters. He said why the K&N filters? He said that "His guys" had tested them all and found them to be best.

Who was I to argue with the man with the 355.

Just thought I'd share that with you all

We had a HKS one on Sinbad when we got it. When we went exploring in the engine and found out that the filter was crumbling we decided to take it off.

The HKS one was ****en loud... about 5 times louder than the K&N one we got to replace it.

I love the intake noise.. Now that I know its only around $50 to get the HKS pod filter I might change it back. But we will see what happens...

already done the boost. just using a turbosmart boost controller now running 13psi up from around a standard 8psi. The cooler is a top mount as the 4wd has 2 radiators at the front and no room for a front mount.. also saves heaps of piping by having a topmount.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Hey guys,  Way back when (about 15yrs plus), I picked up a beautiful set of Tein 'Super Racing Spec Circuit Master RE' coilovers from Russman. I have legit never fitted them to my car, as it was garaged indefinitely while i bought a house Yada Yada. They look brand new! Anyway its time to pick up where I left off, and have started doing some khanacross and am booked in for a hill climb next month. The car has some hard af Nismo shocks in ATM, which has me wanting to upgrade again, and now I am left wondering if it's worth having these teins rebuilt? I think they where an ok shock back then, but how do they compare to what's on the market now?  Shockworks/mca are 2800+, and I am sure they are great. But if I can have these rebuilt and be better than, say, a set of bc's for around the cost of bc's, I would be happy with the performance v cost trade off.  If they are considered outdated and rubbish these days, so be it, I'll put them on the shelf and be happy to look at the pretty green colour while I save for the SW/MCA option. Grateful for your thoughts on the matter, and suggestions on who could do the rebuild if it's a worthwhile pursuit.  cheers, Rowdy.

      I can't speak for the US, but for Canada as I mentioned above, all fuel gases contain ethanol. We have regulations for E5/E10/E15. Each province handles it differently but basically any fuel gases sold must be E10 and slowly increasing to E15 by a certain year.

      Blue slip

      By Stringycheese · Posted

      Hey guys, Purchased and drove up new wheels from Vic last weekend. Car never been registered in Aus before. Only thing was aware of was pod filter which reverted back to stock. Went to get blue slip in western sydney. Everything with car fine (compliance etc) and knocked back for coilovers. Was told illegal and need engineering cert. Called the certifier they recommended and was told at min $1000 to certify them. I was then told HP can STILL defect you even with them certified. All this was news to me. Is this just a case of deal with pay the $1000 and run the risk? Kind of nuts given the amount of people running with coils I know of. No one I know has OEMs to use to pass, either.

      Welcome mate. Best Stagea is best Stagea. How is it driving a correct hand drive vehicle driving on the right? The Japanese do the opposite here and they've made parking boom gate ticket things on both sides to cater for LHD and RHD cars, as there's so many of them (mostly German but there are quite a few American cars too).
