just go the K&N filter replacement for the box.

i put a set of Trust pods on my GTR and all i get now is worse fuel ecconomy, no extra power (if it is hot you can really feel that the car is not performing as well as it did with the stock air box) and the only benefit if you call it that, is a little bit of suction noise and a psssh noise on gear changes.

i am going to put my stock air box back in with the K&N filter that i washed not long ago. i didnt bother putting that oil on it as it can dirty the AFM's.

but one thing i did notice last time i took the pods off the car is that there was nothing stuck in the foam, whereas when i have taken out the K&N panel filter there are bugs and all sorts of dirt and gunk stuck in it on the correct side of the filter.

so it seems like its doing its job, which is to filter the air from bug guts and whatever else is floating around.

and for power, slightly less cold air vs more hot air = better power in most cases.

if i was to put a stock airbox in mine, i would have the snorkel fitted with an extra feed into the airbox from where the standard SMIC to throttle pipe comes through. Atm, i have a HKS pod with plastic heat shield that i have been meaning to modify with some heat resistant foam, with a cold air feed to the pod from the front bumper.

just grab something like this: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Flexi-Engine-Cold-A...=item2eaad669f1 , and use a couple of cable ties to hold it in place!

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
