i have a S2 R33 for vehicle reference.....:i tried a pod and it made my car more unresponsive....like it had a bit of room on the accelerator that made no effect.(dont know how else to explain it)...also had some huge suction noise which i wasnt a fan of....but i did have the flutter i was after.....

could of the problem with the pod been that the connect to the AFM was not completely airsealed tight or something..or does this happen normally by making it less responsie?...any advice or answers would be awesome!

so its the hot air makin the suction noise really loud and it is also makin it unresponsive?

is that what ur tryin to say?

The Air is making the noise... the fact that its hot is irrelevant

The fact that it is hot has other meaning... hot intake temps = slower car.

So put the airbox on with a good panel filter, best thing for the car... you just dont get noise.

But that can be countered by sticking your head out the window and whistling if you want, it pulls chicks all the time

unlike u mate i dont need to do anything to attract them...:)

jus jks but i had to post it....lol

DONT TAKE IT TO HEART...

cheers for the advice tho!

if u dont like the pod sound, get a k&n panal filter and use the stock airbox.

when my 33 had this setup boosted @ 12psi i got a nice whistling sound from the panal filter.

its not really the 'pod sound' i dont like....it like it as then i get a bit of 'flutter'...because BOV's are defectable i get the chopping noise which i like better than a huge psscchhhhtt!

since this a pod thread thought id ask my question here......

i got a cone shapped pod on my rb20 like the k and n shapped 1s, but most skyline have the mushroom/dome shaped filters, are they better then the cone or is just preferance n wat fits in the motor?

Most people would agree that the mushroom/dome shaped filters, which are normally foam filters, are worse than the paper/cotton style filters. Perhaps better flow, but they're very lacking in filtration and have a habit of coming apart and with bits of foam getting sucked into your engine if you don't replace them often enough.

ook ok cool lol i guess ill keep the cone 1 in that case............ do the foam ones give off a different note cause my pod makes a annoying whisteling sound

Box it. This is just because the pod filter isn't muffling the noise of the turbo like the stock air box would

Whether unboxed pod filters are defectable or not (and I've heard arguments on both sides), the cops will assume it is defectable and issue you with a notice anyway.

    • He obviously had his reason for flipping you off. I wonder what it was...
    • Thats why I stay far, far away from Eastwood. only go there if I wanna eat Korean food 
    • I have to agree like, yesterday, I was driving down the warringah freeway towards the bridge when this jackass driving a beaten up Honda civic cut me off so suddenly it made me almost yank the wheel to avoid him hitting my car. Honestly and he had the NERVE to flip me off (or some other gesture Idk). Im a calm guy, but really some people just dont deserve to have a license, let alone be allowed to drive on densely populated roads/highways. If youre gonna cut through lanes at least use the damn turn signal
    • HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.
    • I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
