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. ;)

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
