Just made a cold air partition for the 'line, much better throtle response when the engine is warm, especially bottom end off boost - in fact, I cant notice much difference from when I start up to when I have been sitting in peak traffic for 1/2 hour. Well worth the effort.

The reason I was starting this thread is that I now have a template for a cold air partition (took about 1.5 - 2 hours till I was happy) and if anyone is interested to copy it, please let me know as the template is the hardest part. My template is designed around a FMIC, but it wouldn't be hard to modify for a stock one. I also have some metal backed foam left over - enough for one partition if anyone is interested, let me know, although the cost of the foam is very cheap, about $10 for half a lineal metre

Mr Hyundai,

The partition sits just behind the pod and fits in where the suspension tower meets the inner guard, on the other side it goes around the outside of the little black emissions canister. I got the materials from clark rubber, just metal backed foam and I also got some 1.5 inch thick soft rubber tubing used as a heat shield for pipes, slit it down the middle and slot it across the top of the partition to seal with the bonnet. Not sure what the tubing's real name is but at work I have heard it reffered to as armourflex. It must seal pretty well as the induction noise from the pod is reduced a fair bit, but it still growls when you poke the loud pedal:D

Adam33, sorry dude, I'm not much of a 'tech drawer', but I might copy it onto paper and post it to you if you want. Youll just need to trace it onto card first (to check it fits and maybe modify) before cutting. If you dont want/cant catch up to copy it, just drop me your details at [email protected]

hi Steve,

Mate where do you live.

I wanted to know what kind of filter you are running at the moment. I downloaded another template recently and when i looked at the cut out i did on the car it was too close to the guard and the filter didnt even reach that far, so the box would have started after the filter finished, leaving the filter in the engine bay with nice hot air and the box in the corner, it was classic.

if you are near me I can rock around with some cardboard and trace the template onto it and then leave.

what you up to on the weekend etc. or have you already got a cardboard template

elaborate tell tell, actually maybe a few of us could meet up quickly with black texters and make copies. how does everyone feel about that.

thats a good idea, i wouldn't mind a copy either, i have got one now but it came with the car and isn't a very good fit, i think it would let alot of hot hair in.

I live in Willetton, the pod is a K&N. If you want to call around is cool, just drop me an e-mail or better still a pm, and I will reply with an address and phone number.

Unfortunately I will not be going to the cruise although I wish I was.

Anyone who wants a copy is most welcome

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
