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.

do it yourself! it isnt that hard, itll save you coin and give you satisfaction knowing that you did it!

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!

      33 GTR Broken front wheel knuckle

      That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc.

      Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?

      Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...

      R34 auto to manual conversion help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
