Edit 4 birds..yeah bottom of airbox is cut out, you can hear it and it draws air from the holes underneath where the cooler pipes used to be as well as the snorkel..I ran it for a bit with panel filter and box stock but it didnt feel as quick..

Ah k. Did you run it with panel filter and holes in the bottom of the airbox?!

it is illegal to have any oil based air filters, such as k&n, bmc etc etc, not that the cops care about it or would pin you for it...

the pod in the airbox seems pointless since it will have less surface area to get air from.

your better off buying a decent panel filter for your airbox, and rig up some sort of snorkel.

thats a very good point....like what my mate did to his commodore, his snorkel was as wide as the radiator sitting on top of it increasing the amount of outside air coming into the box unlike the standard snorkel that is not wide at all...

any done that to their skylines yet? never seen that kinda set up in a skyline...plenty of that setup in commodores....

What is cr33ms setup like?

I always run panel filters as i found the pod noise annoying and I noticed no difference from the pod to panel, despite numerous dyno shops telling me they do make a difference..When i took my car for tune i took both filters and the pod was used..when i got it back i put the panel in and it honestly didnt feel as good.

Now in a car with alot of HP this difference would be insignificant but in my car it feels worthwhile and better with a pod,(maybe a better brand panel would fix this but its a bit late for that now)

It has air coming into it from all directions so i hardly think surface area is a problem, it still sounds like a pod but not as loud which is good and at a quick glance it looks stock. Its a win win 4 me..

@birds... nah i didnt run the panel with holes in the bottom of the box as it would not be filtered...

And that would be silly :P

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
