Hi guys thinking of getting turbo timer and air filter for my R34, what do ya think suit my GTT(stock)? For air filter, currently using HKS, havent really try out anything else, so kinda confused

Money doesnt really matter, been saving for this :D ...

I narrowed down my turbo timer choices to

HKS - Turbo timer type 0 and type 1

Blitz - Dual Turbo Timer - DCIV

Greddy - Full Auto Timer

and for air filter

Blitz sonic power

Blitz SUS

HKS super power

Apexi power

All of them must have their own unique features rite?

Have ur say...

Cheers

Stick with your HKS air filter, I got one and it works fine.

I have a Blitz copy turbo timer and it probley does the same thing as the real Blitz one maybe minus a feature. As long as its reliable and allows your car to idle at the set time and able to lock your car while it idling and switch off and keep the car locked up.

Blitz SUS, looks the best if you've got a polished engine bay i reckon.

The choice of filter you buy can make a difference to the way your engine bay looks, which then would fall under the heading of cosmetics and styling...............

Ultimate Air Filter Shoot Out

1st in Flow - A huge 601.2 CFM!

3A Racing out - gunned Apexi, K&N, HKS, Trust & AEM

$40 filter + $20 adapter ~~

Contact http://www.3aracing.com.au/ for price.

I have the Apexi pen style timer, it's good and not expensive. They have them on Nengun.com so check it out.

I had an HKS pod filter, was good, but my tuner chucked it and put on the Apexi filter. Reasoning is the HKS pod (or any foam filter) needs to be oiled. The oil gets into the intake system and fouls the AFM element, meaning the meter will need to be cleaned more often.

So don't get an 'oiled' filter.

+ 1 for 3a racing pod

i second this..... they are a cheepo but flow and filtration is much better than the over priced jap "brand name filters" i dont have one but the tests have prooved that these are tops

do a search, a while back in a thread bout filters i posted up a huge comparison of common filters 11 or so with flow rates and filtration rates

i have a Blitz SUS... sounds absolutely awesome, seriously...

does the job too i guess :/

in regards to turbo timer, what do you want it to do...?

keep your car running for a tiny while to let the turbo and engine cool down right?

all timers do the same thing in theory, me and m brother both have invisible ones interfaced with the alarm...

key out, engine still running... one/two minute(s) later engine off... they all do the same job mate, which one looks nicer in the car? :banana:

    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
