Sorry if this has been asked before but ive just had enough of my HKS mushroom filter, just way too noisy on standard turbo.

So ive gone and bought a 2nd hand factory airbox and a Greddy highflow filter, waay more response but flat out seems a little less. maybe need to reset ecu??? will do tonight anyway.

Now my mate said if i upgrade the turbo or want anymore power i NEED a pod and cant have standard airbox.

Is this true?

Ive heard the GTR factorys can handle 300kw or so but dont no about the gtst's

Its a series II 40th anniversary and im running 13psi, have full turboback exhaust and wanting to do alot more.

Any help is appreciated thanks :)

standard airbox in a 33 will handle 240rwkw, easy. mine did with a modified snorkel for the airbox with a wider mouth on it and a wider neck where it entered the airbox

Ok cool, i am hoping to make a bit more than that tho to be honest, if i was to say put my pod back on and get a cold air box from say justjap and get a snorkle going to the bumper under the light would it be as quiet as my factory airbox?

Also is it just my standard turbo thats why its so loud? you no what i mean right its just a really loud shhhhhhh rather than that nice whistle.

Like if i was to get another turbo like i plan to would it sound the same?? just as loud?

Sorry if im not explaining myself well but surely you know what i mean the factory series 2 turbo through a pod sounds shit for normal off boost driving. well not shit just gets reeally annoying

No pod filter in an aftermarket airbox will be as quite as the stock setup. The fact the stock one is a plastic closed in airbox with a panel filter is why it is so quite.

Also the stock turbo is not loud, any aftermarket turbo will be a hell of a lot louder (through a pod filter I mean).

Oh ok, yeh by loud i guess i mean a more annoying loud if you know what i mean and it was pretty loud dnt no how loud yours is, like it sounds like its boosting its ass off an your not even really on boost.

maybe its because the factory is a paper wheel its that different kind of sound compared to the metal wheels on other turbos

other turbos just seem to sound so much nicer being a loud whistling air rush as apposed to just an airy sound.

oh well thanks guys i think ill stick to it while ive got this turbo an when i upgrade my turbo ill just have to go pod with airbox from justjap.

I hear masterpower are coming out with an rb specific turbo now like the garret kits.

Ah ok yep fair enough. Yeah steel wheel turbos sound a lot nicer than the stock one.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.
