Just fitted a K&N pod filter to my R33 turbo Skyline (replacing high performance HKS cold airbox) and have noted significant induction noise increase. However it seems very loud (drowns out 3.5" exhaust) and is quite invasive in the cabin. Is this normal? Am wondering if all pods are the same. Pod is un boxed (ie no covers in the engine bay) but even test cover made little difference.

* Also have noticed appreciable turbo lag aroung 3,000rpm. Esp in fifth gear (under load). Would fitting pod change tuning set up?

have no other car for comparison so thought I'd let it loose on the forum.

it migh change the setup as the car is getting more air now..

and the noice is normal - but yes, some pods allow more air through then others - the K&N is a great choice for airflow whilst still having max filtration :)

it's normal and the sound is great :cheers:

Hey,

Had HKS "shrooms" fitted in Japan, though they got stolen on the boat ( beware of ship captains, 84 Colt sporting green pods)

Now I have the rigid K&N filters which make a heaap of intake noise. But then there are two.. so Im not sure if there would be more noise ( more surface area "sieving" the air) or less ( air speed / ferocity through each filter would be half, compared to running a single on a RB25) At any stage, I can almost tell what angle the boost dial is, by the intake noise.

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • 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.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? 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.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • 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
