I have an ARC airbox on my R32 GTR... Does the job but miss the induction note I used to get on m other cars. If I go to HKS pods and filters do you get an induction sound? If I do this I will be fabricating a shield around them to duct in the cold air etc as I realise the ARC is doing a good job.

Also foam or mesh .. different induction note?

Or maybe this is bollox and will sound the same.. lol

Anyone?

:flamer: Not all at once! I'm a newbie :Oops:

switching to a pod will give u a louder induction sound, hks foam filters work pretty well for this. Using a shield around them, might negate this though. most people don't bother with ducting as it wont really effect intake temps/airflow a whole heap.

yeah, but with non-turbo, u dont get flutter!!

If i can be bothered, i'll record a sound file while sitting in car with my mp3 player

Thats because flutter is caused by the air going back into the turbo fins from the bov. Hence y u dont get flutter on atmo bovs either

i had the hks pod on my car which was loud and sounded mad, only problem was i didnt like the thin foam it had as it was being sucked in over time onto th afm ( when i had that still) so that worried me a bit and alot of guys i know have had the same...i changed it for a K&N and thats no "as" loud but louder than i thought for a K&N, plus i dont worry about the pod elements breaking off and going into the turbo

yes K&N = probably the best pod you can buy. very good filtering, long service life, good flow. having said that i must not be following my own advice as I have apexi pods on 2 of my cars (and all three I put on there).

Alot of people go with the K&N pods, and its a quality brand, there just a fair bit quieter than, mine for example. Its just a cheap branded one, DRIFT or something, but its insanely loud.. Still trying to decide if i like it or not. Oh and the K&N pods that some people choose, are just downright ugly :P

i reckon the stock air intake is as good with a panel filter when the car is making less than 300 awkws. im using a HKS one and it does make a little bit of noise.

keep myself trouble free...

were you previous cars n/a? having a turbo in the way really quietens down the induction noise compared to other cars.

I didnt know u get a loud indcution sound of an NA skyline? I always thought that it was the turbo the increased the loudness?

People are talking about 2 different types of induciton sound here - On most turbo cars, the induction sound people talk about is the sound of the turbo.... not really induction noise, but its on the induction side so i guess it counts.

Proper induction noise sounds awesome. Go for a ride in an NA car with multiple throttle bodies and you'll hear it for sure... The vtec honda's have a lot of induction noise for a standard car... when the cam timing changes on them, they really scream.

The only turbo car i've heard with loud induction noise was i think leroy(?)'s R33 GTR video at autosalon where it made 600rwkw or so. When they loaded it up on the dyno out of its boost threshold.. mmmmmmmmmm

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
