what you mean 'jumping'?

airpod shouldnt cause any issues like that, its just an exposed filter.

Only thing i can think of is if its misfiring past 5000rpm but that would be related to worn out coilpacks and not related to airpod

on the r33 putting a pod on there shouldnt cause any problems at all. sounds like something else is wrong somewhere like ur plugs or coilpacks.

as for your r34 im curious is it fluttering cos u also have a front mount? if so thats cool but i hope u havent followed that trend of blocking off the standard blow off valve or whatever people do to make it flutter. i know 3 idiots i warned about that who did it anyway and all 3 blew their turbos

well what my mate did on his stock 33 is this:

1/ put a pod on

2/did a burn out

3/car started 'jumping' going from low to high revs vice versa

4/he put the stock air filer back on

5/car went back to normal

so made me think it was the poddy aswell lol

as for my 34 i dont have a fmic, all i have is a full atmospheric bov and a custom turbo back exhaust which i got just yesterday!!

but only flutters on low revs...so i think its ok? ;)

flutter on stock turbo is never ok

as for your mates R33 and his fully sick uleh pd doing his fully sick skidzzzzz

did you check if the AFM plug was plugged in and not just loosely plugged??? could also be vaccum leak? but if by putting a stock filter fixed it then ye i dunno. maybe it was the car telling he hates you lol

hmmm the blow of valve usually doesnt flutter it should make a whoosh noise unless its one of those VL turbo types. but yeh ur mates car however was it low on fuel? doin that burnout could have sucked in some gunk from the bottom of his fuel tank and thats what the car was running on. otherwise like ash said check the air flow meter is plugged in properly. other than that usually if u treat ur car like shit then it behaves like shit

It's the cars way of telling your mate he is an idiot.

But most likely the AFM was bumped/moved and not happy by the sound of that.

Oh - and good luck with your ATMO BOV - your car will probably start stalling and overfuelling. ;)

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
