im getting rid of my pod and going back to stock airbox coz i dont see the need in making a cold air partition or box when basically thats already what the stock airbox is, but im baffled about two things

1. whats filter to use in the stock airbox ? yes im boosting it, got a powerfc, getting a new fornt mount soon and everything so i guess ill need good flow, what filter should i use ?

2. when i get my enw trust frotn mount kit, will the stock airbox fit ? because if it wont i will scrap the idea about the stock airbox, get a good pod and build somehting custom to fit with the trust cooler

btw the car is an r33 gtst :P

thanks guys

many people seem to use the k&n replacement filters for the stock air box and i haven't heard any bad reports about it yet either, so the the flow and filtering must somewhat be good :D So i suggest you give that a little research.

lethal,

From what I've heard the K&N filter for the stock box is the way to go.

Also I have a custom FM cooler out the front of mine with the stock airbox......it depends where the pipes for the cooler are run. You can get FMI kits with pipes that need the stock box removed or not.....its your choice!

Most after market intercooler kits ensure that you will have to go a POD filter.

so before spending money on the panel filter, make sure that the intercooler kit you are after allows the box to stay.

Although, I guess you could always sell the panel filter off later.

I bought a second hand TRUST panel filter for a standard air box on my R32 for $50.

And you still get the sucking sound and bov sounds.. believe me..

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
