i just tried on a friend's hks pod filter on my car.. usually have stock air box with apexi panel filter..

with the hiflow turbo.. i can hear the turbo very loud when its spooling up.. but as soon as i put the pod on.. i can barely hear my turbo at all

like.. i can't even hear the pod suction noise.. all i can hear is my exhaust and nothing else..

the pod is very loud on my friend's r34 with his stock turbo so we didn't understand why at all..

any opinions on this ??

That's weird.... very weird... as I got a Apexi Pod on my car and you can hear the engine much more louder with the BOV spooling even more aggressively... did you plug the Pod straight into your air meter without any thing in between? With the Pod, it sounds awesome.... absolutely breath-taking... check your hoses and wires also...

After posting my previous response to you, I went out to my car and lifted up the engine bay to have a look for ya...

You gotta check how you have bolted on the Pod... there's actually 2 ways you can do this...

1. Bolt the pod directly (with an adaptor of course) to your airflow meter.

2. Drill a whole through your intercooler and pipe the pod to that.

The second way, is a no no... tell me how your pod looks like... take a picture of your engine bay and I will see if I can help you further. We'll talk again soon... btw, what's the brand of your Pod again... oh 1 more thing, make sure there are no wholes or air-exit gaps in your pod... this can be bad for your engine too.

it was put on as an experiment.. like me and my friend just thought.. how will my car sound if i have his pod on..

its an HKS pod with adapter bolted directly to the afm... secured by 4 bolts... it was put in the same way as he had on his car.. so i am sure there's no mistakes there.

well.. when we put it back into his car.. it was all fine and loud... on his but not mine. car has the stock airbox back on now, i am fine with the stock airbox really.. i can hear my turbo spooling loud enough in cabin .. don't really want to through the hassle of getting the pod to make the sound. was just curious as to why it didn't make that sound.. just got in my head and thought something might be wrong with my car or something.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!

      http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Second time Skyline owner (R33 GTS-T and now a V36 370GT)

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
