hey guys, sorry but i have to say this.

while most of you here are sitting around talking about which filter makes the best woosh woosh sound, the guys in the force induced section are discussing rear housing sizes, how to get more power, ideal set ups, best compromise, etc. etc. etc.

this thread (and the turbo timer thread) has easily gone over to two pages; whilst cara's thread on nitrous, extractors, clutches, dyno graphs, etc struggle to make even the first page. this is what sets them apart from us - with threads like 'noise of pod filter' doing so well, it's understandable why people look down upon these things.

some food for thought, by all means continue with the thread - just my 2c

Yeah well i think that for the N/A owners out there (myself included) these sorts of things (noise of a pod filter) are easily changed and gve the less professional / mechanically minded skyline owner something to think about and tinker with. Not saying that all the members posting in this section have poor mechanical ideas/traits but this kinda stuff IS interesting and well, fun to talk about>

All the best N/A owners out there keep up the good work!!

Sorry love.. but if it isnt a CAI.. it wont be worth it really..

just for the sound..

Havent ya heard, you aint cool unless your suckin in the hot stuff!!!!!

Ive since added the original air intake cover that sits on the front of the engine, hoping to suck some of the cooler stuff in.

I havent had any probs (so far) so i think ill leave it as is.

thats a nice setup emz r33. but here u would get raped for it. coppas are soo fuzzy on the legislation. 1 said had to be secured and other said it needed to be boxed?!?!?!

dont want to sound mean. but unless some of u are on your p's. why not sell your de's and get a det?

MMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, thinking about going turbo (either buying another car or upgrading) but im just really happy with the N/A at the moment. And fuel consumption isnt bad either. Dont know if i want to bther something thats running well.

Maybe in years to come, but im really happy with the 4 doors, N/A and general look of my car.......saying that, im looking at lowerering it in the new year and ???????? respray down the track!!!!

Oh and i was lokoing at getting a clear box to surround the pod filter (seen then on ebay for bout $100) but wasnt too sure about how good/efect they would be in regarding to heat reducing/better air intake. Also dont know if the cops would deem them legal (if i ever went interstate)

Long story short, i did the air filter change for a quick apperence change/easy mod. So far it looks good and i havent had any issues with cops (touch wood).

GTS4WD and nismoGTS top work on remembering issue 51 of auto salon :) ill post up the whole range of filters for comparrison with flow and filtration:

AEM dryflow flow:519cfm filtration:very good flow: 9th filtration: 3rd

APEXI power flow:533cfm filtration: good flow: 7th filtration: 6th

HKS direct flow:539cfm filtration: poor flow: 6th filtration:9th

K&N 3301 flow:579cfm filtration: excellent flow:4th filtration: 1st

REDLINE flow:596cfm filtration: poor flow:2nd filtration: 10th

SIMOTA flow:594cfm filtration: good flow:3rd filtration:5th

TENSO flow:522cfm filtration:good flow:8th filtration:4th

3A RACING flow:601cfm filtration:very good flow:1st filtration:2nd

TRUST flow:554cfm filtration below avg flow:5th filtration:7th

hope this is of help for anyone and everyone :) i personally run twin drift filters..... dunno their figures but they r blue which go with a few other engine excessories eg cusco brace and filter relocation kit! SAFE DRIFTING

hmm i under stand what your saying eug but i only did this new topic because i couldnt find an answer anywhere else. ive made my decision im going to go with apexi. i should be getting extractors and exhaust soon.... i might need to ask youy a few questions on it later...

hey guys, this isnt too much about the noise of a pod filoter but i was wondering of anyone out there has bought one of those "cold air boxes" from ebay that encloses the pod filter.

Please go to:

www.ebay.com.au

search for;

"cold air box R33"

is only listed for 5 days so be quick with this link, may not functyion after this time.

should sidplay 2 boxes, a clear and a black box

Now the questions.............

1) would they shield any heat?

2) Give any added cooling capacity?

3) worth buying at that price??????

Thanks ppl

wow this thread has gone for a long time which is interesting, i think the air box is good for protecting the intake from sheilding heat from other systems in the engine bya, price? not sure however.

1) would they shield any heat?

2) Give any added cooling capacity?

3) worth buying at that price??????

Thanks ppl

EMZ

1. it would shield a small amount of heat

2. without an intake no, it'll just end up trapping the hot air inside. (think sauna)

3. you could fabricate one out of steel and line it with reflective foam/insulation for half the price.

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
