Hey,

This may be nothing but just wondering... My brother bought a R33 skyline yesterday and it drives really well! The only thing that was a bit annoying was the POD filter. Was so loud! Alot louder than any POD filters that i have had.

So we took the K&N air pod off today and put on a 3a Racing POD. The sound now is super loud! Even from behind the car I can only hear the airpod and not the exhaust! lol, cant believe how loud the POD is. Was just wondering if there is a reason for this, or if its just normal?

Also his stock boost gauge is nearly hitting the 7+, which is 14psi! lol, the guy said it was set to 7psi but he doesnt have a aftermarket boost gauge. The boost controller is a GFB controller i think. Are the stock gauges normally out by this much?

Thanks :)

hey they not sure about you pod noise problem,

however the stock boost gauge is in BAR and its actually 0.7 which is about 10 PSI, perfectly safe for stock turbo

your pod noise could just be a high flowed turbo and the type of dump pipe on the car, i know my spool noise got a hell of a lot louder when i put on the X-Force dump pipe and then louder again with the pod... just guessing thou :)

I thought the stock gauge is in kg/cm2 isnt it? I think 7 was stock.. but I cant remember. Thats cool that the pod is so loud might be aftermarket turbo?

A box to make it legal will minimise noise, an apexi pod will also quiet it down.

I always thought the stock gauge reads in mmhg?

Becasue 7 mmhg = 14psi.

And if your on Stock boost, the guage should read around 3.5, which is 7psi

Can anyone confirm this please?

Cheers :)

Cheers Guys! :D

Yeah looks like the boost is running hell high! Unless the stock gauge is out by heaps! Gonna hook up a aftermarket boost gauge 2moro and check it out.

Still not sure why the POD is super LOUD! lol, but it doesnt seem to be a problem so wont worry about it for now...

;)

I changed from my pod back to a stock airbox and it got rid of all the induction noise but you also totally lose the ppppsssssshhhhhhhttttttt

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
