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..

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
