I don't really want to slap a pod filter in but would a highflow pannel filter be worth it?

I was going to slap a nice big cold air intake in and cut a hole out the bottom of the std airbox along with some pvc piping that feeds down in to the front bumper but faced in the opposite direction as not to get a direct pickup for water.???

Kinda Hijacked your thread sorry :P

the improvements youll feel with the pod filter will depend on how badly designed the std airbox is. some are better than others. im not sure with R33's, however if you get a pod filter make sure you do the cold-air partition cos sucking in hot air from the engine bay is NOt going to help performance!

Steve,

just posted this ad in the For Sale section and thought you might be interested!

It works really well and sound brilliant well but I got a big cooler and changed the setup! I could send it up for $20 via courier!

COLD air box to house ram pods to stop sucking hot air from turbo and robbing power. New UAS design (DIY Kit) cold air box for R33 GTS-T, with nut inserts and high tensile allen key bolts.

Also 02 Rush Race Pod, Easy application with flange type models that bolt straight on to R32 & R33 GTS-T . New cost $380, mine is one week old $250 firm. Email [email protected]

Cheers

Steve

      Slimline sub on the rear parcel shelf is doable. Pioneer TS-WX140DA is only 70mm high.

      People like Johnny Dose Bro might be laughing at my post because I accidentally added 100mm to my numbers. 350-355 is indeed the lower limit. 450 is off-road Skyline spec.

      What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.

      Misfire/stalling issues

      Easiest way to know is to break out the multimeter and measure it when cold, then measure all the resistances again once it gets hot enough to misfire. Both the original ignitor and the J Replace version. Factory service manual will have the spec for the terminal measurements.

      Yes that sounds right. Cars currently in the shop for the engine work. Will need to remeasure .. but yes I think I must be targeting 45cm from fender.
