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.

      Need to see other side of PCB in that area...ie; I don't see any thru-hole mounting, just soldered vias (smd zeners in SOT23 have 3 legs but only 2 are used, as reflected by PCB tracks)

      4 to 5 is fine. It will be slow, but that's better than blowing turbos. I don't have a PS pump idle up solenoid on my car, because... I think when we put the Neo in we retained my R32 lines. But.... From inspecton of the R34 vacuum hose diagram, you can see that the solenoid needs to be connected to the turbo inlet as source of clean air) and the plenum (as source of vacuum - which is the place for the air to flow to to cause the idle to increase). So 3 to 1 is VERY WRONG. 3 should go to either the turbo inlet, or the plenum. Follow the other hose from the PS solenoid and if it goes to the plenum, then your 3 goes to 2 2 would also serve as a bleed port for a boost solenoid.

      Pull them out and pull more apart. You can't do shit with them still bolted to the floor of the car.

      Yes it is. ZD1 is on the other side of the board. Where ZD1 is marked is clearly opposite a 2 pin device. Our 3 pin device here is not a ZD.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Alright, a little update on this... I called Fulcrum, who used to be the distributor in Australia. No Bueno, they don't service them anymore.  Called shock works, who don't service them but offered to dyno the shocks for performance, and suggested DNA in Sydney might service them.  Called DNA, who also do not service them and basically said they try to steer customers away from tein for this exact reason these days- there is just no support for them anymore apparently.  Both SW and DNA said they are a not necessarily a bad product, but they just don't service the brand or know anyone who does service the brand anymore.  So... I could keep calling around but at this point I think I'll probably just spring for the shockworks product, unless anyone here knows anything.  Cheers 🍻
