na induction noise is still pretty loud

one thing I should add is I also put my Exhaust Silencer back in the same day that could help with playing mind games I guess.

bro i lost about 13rwkw when i had a silencer in my exhaust. it made the engine alot more revvy and boosted earlier. take it off and take it for a drive. :D

if your air box is too restrictive then you will lose power. you will be getting cold air, but you won't be getting enough air. you might only be getting 90% of the air you were before. try adding in other cold air feeds to get more power.

also the restricter in the exhaust wouldn't be helping.

Thanks guys and girls things im doing when i finish work

1. Take the silencer out

2. Add air duct from the front bumper to the old factory intercooler hole

3. Take some pictures

4. Go for a fang with my fingers crossed hoping the car feels better.

I will let everyone know

You've had an hour :P Finished yet? ;)

Well I added the Ducting last night and removed the silencer and here are a few photos of my air box.

Still have not been for a drive yet as I was nicely blocked in my drive way last night by the Nabors removal van

so will go driving tonight

I'm sick of seeing people give stupid advice like CAI or box is waste of time etc.

what is a waste of time is a pod filter.

I've pinched this pic from the NSW section, hope the owner doesn't mind.

this is an RB21.

note stock airbox, stock plenum.

also note dyno figure.

there is no need for a pod

to some extent yes, i had a cheap wet type pod in my car on the dyno, then on the 2nd run i changed to a Apexi Power Flo Pod, unshielded pod and i saw an extra 2-3rwkw on the dyno. i can post the dyno sheet up but it would be kinda hard to tell which run it was cos i had about 6-7 runs on the dyno.

Ok went for a drive over the long weekend and my car feels GREAT

i found a big prob that i had missed when i put the air box in i had not done up a intercooler Hose clamp

so i was getting a pretty bad leak. haha didnt help with the car feeling like shit.

anyway thanks for ya help, tips and comments everyone

  • 2 weeks later...

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drive beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
