I am trying to get a R33 blue slipped. Currently has a pod on it and mechanic tells me I need to get a standard air box. Can anyvbody tell me if a Pod Filter cold air induction box will pass or does it need to be the factory original set up.

You need to track down a standard air box with filter or go and do a drive by noise test and have the car engineered.

I'd just find a standard air box. :O Check the ads on here as there is always someone wrecking a R33 or call Just Jap in Sydney, I found them very helpful.

Hey thanks guys appreciate it. I'll try to get a standard air intake. Had a bloke try to rip me off last night over one. He said I could borrow one provided I would give him $350.00 deposit and he would return $310.00 when I bought it back trouble was he wouldn't give me a reciept or anything for the money.

Beware of Ron May from Beresfield.

Seems a bit dodgy to me

Make a box yourself, if you need ill make you a template, where do you live, if you need a hand PM me and we might be able to work something out.

I charge by time, for every 15 minutes I charge 1 can of Jim Beam.

My charge to make a template is 1 x can of Jim Beam.

Also delete the name, that is a NO NO, never name someone as that is bad ju ju, if someone wants to know about someone else PM them the info, otherwise it is called slander

Hey mate, you can get it blue sliped, cover the pod with one from just jap or make one yourself, bring it down to my work and see if my boss will pass it. PM me for adress. I just got my 33 done off him so ill try asking him 4 you. Make sure the rest of the car is sweet, ie tyres lights ect. Cheers, BTW it will set you back $110 for the blue slip for the imported vehicle, you will also need a copy of the customer infromation slip. Which has all your specs for the car, you should have been given this paperwork from either the dealer or owner depending on where oyu got it. Without these you wont be able to get a blue slip.

Peeps, I think we should have a standard set of everything which members can borrow. I had a standard AIR BOX and I gave it away for free to clean my garage.....(silly me!). We most of people replace those in upgrades and give them away cheap. Once you have the blue slip you put back your pod.... I am sure of that!

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
