Anyone tried BMC before? I saw this in the Ebay (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190411176849#ht_1221wt_911). I don't like the JW pop charger, but maybe the Stillen air box. How does this compare between the BMC and the stillen air box setup with a K&N. They are both oiled cotton filter. After taking out my Trust Panel filter for cleaning, I temporary install a Apexi pod (without any shield) on the car for a week. OMG, the Sound and power I get after 3000rpm was intoxicating. I know to have a open filter setup in QLD is illegal, so I'm thinking either the BMC or the stillen box. I also find that with the pod filter, the car tends to drink more too. Manage only 500km/tank instead of the normal 600km.

You're clearly driving the car harder with the POD,

to hear that "intoxicating" sound hence the rise in fuel consumption.

It is indeed a awesome sound and with real new V6 soundtrack. Why I said that with the fuel consumption because, I tried to change gear early like below 2500rpm for almost 5day. I drive like I normally would with the OEM air box, I still see myself going to the petrol station sooner. Any one with a CAI have this problem?

Power. The BMC air filter looks like it has a smaller surface area.

This is just a guess.

But with 150mm diameter, it's the same as the Apexi Pod filter. So I should have similar perfromance or better since it take in air from the outside, and with similar soundtrack I hope.

it's using more fuel because the open pod is sucking in hot air from the engine bay. Meter reads same amount of airflow, but since it's less dense you are actually loosing power and having to drive the car harder

put a heat shield around it.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
