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.

      Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.

      I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.

      From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.

      They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
