Its just natural for the multi sensory experience to be appealing... i guess its a different case from person to person.... I like the sounds it makes, not because all my mates will hear it and think its fully sick, its just a pleasing sound for ME....if u dont like ur exhaust sound, get a silencer!

I agree with franks.

I elected a 3" straight through exhaust with a 3" tip. I told the exhaust shop I wanted it done to be as silent as they could make it.. Yes I knew it was going to be loud. I said this is why I kept the tip the same size, and opted for just a no frills stainless muffler, no rice cannon thanks.

The result? A very very smooth and powerful sound. It's definately, but loud in a powerful way. Like a european super car.

Not like those guys driving around in civics (and some with silvias) with 4.5" tips that sound and look like a milo tin rattling. Sounds like shite.

Well after a 10 day wait in delivery (damn postman having a xmas holiday grrr) I replaced my HKS Pod filter with the standard airbox and a standard panel filter (came with it). Wasn't difficult to do but damn I can't wait till the new Snap-On tool set arrives, it'll make like so much more easier.

Ahhh sweet sounding RB25DET with no pod induction noises :P:):)

Under 3,500rpm it feels more responsive but over 3,500rpm i think its lacking power over the HKS Pod filter. I'm not in a great hurry to replace the standard panel filter with a K&N unless I can find 1 at the right price so i'll just see how fuel comsuption goes now with the standard paneil filter vs pod filter.

I've never had a pod but there was a bit of a difference once i put my K&N panel in... I'm getting a fmic on thursday and still keeping the factory box, i'll just be modding the factory snorkel as the piping will hit it :D

I've got a FMIC with the piping useing the standard holes in the corner, nothing needed to be modded on the stock airbox to make it fit.

I was looking into an fmic like that... i found one i liked but the piping was going to be lower than my front bar (which is very low) so the piping would hit the ground... so i have to got with the other style...

Ben, why didn't you just get a box for the pod?

I have the box from UAS (infact I've had it for 11mths and it cost me like $200). But I didn't like my Pod filter, too noisey and it needed modding just to fit in with my IC pipes. Also I didnt have a CAI for it so the only air it was getting was the dirty hot engine bay air.

The stock box makes the car such a pleasure to drive now. No wooshing or hissing sounds :D

Edit: Still have the UAS box here too so if anyone wants it PM me an offer :D

franks but u campared the stock airbox to an exposed pod in the engine bay tru? im sure a high quality oiled pod in airtight heat proof box wif a phat CAI would give more gains then both options, ive heard of people netting 10kw@ the wheels wif a custom box setup but i havent seen any proof

I dropped into my local AutoOne on the way home today and they sell the K&N Panel Filter for $109.95 and the Redline Panel Filter for $71.25

They had a K&N setup on a bench which consisted of a large perspex box with a hole cut in the front with the K&N Panel Filter connected to it. At the back (inside the box) was 2 massive 15cm electric fans sucking the air through the filter. A ping pong ball was in a plastic cylinder and the ball did not move no matter if the K&N Air Filter was in place or whether it was removed with no filter.

Excellent airflow if you ask me...

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
