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.

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
