Yeah my car ran fine with the mesh screens out too. But i did it to a skyline once and it f*cked the idle up.

Speaking of cold air intakes, here are some pics of mine, in the making. http://www.buggernet.ath.cx/coldair/ Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

hope no water gets up that air intake when it rains Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Nah, he should be alright.

Hornet that setup is similer to mine, although i have the pipe leading to the front bumper. How is your piping secured? cant see from the pics.

guys - WHERE in melbourne could i get exhaust/extractors/air filter/timing for my BOG stock N/A VL?????????? thats all I want to know

When me and 2 of my other mates removed the airflow meter mesh screens in front of and behind the afm, our cars ran like total crap ( Eg- idled for about 10-20secs then just died). We all had to get new AFM. So why does it work for some people and others it doesnt ?

We all had to get new AFM. So why does it work for some people and others it doesnt ? I've been running with out them for ages, no problems at all. Maybe remove them, and reset your computer?? (disconnect the negative battery terminal and put your foot on the brake for 30 seconds, and plug it all back in)

anyone with 4.11 diff gears what revs do u sit on at 100km/h in overdrive. also anyone with 4.11 gears and a LSD how hard is it to get abit of smoke happening when the ocasion calls for it?

3500 rpm. i had a spool in mine and it was too easy to get wheelspin. just dumping it off the line would give me wheelspin.

is ur's n/a?

just my 5 cents, when my calais was a stock N/A 5spd this advanced timing to 17 deg BTDC, Pod filter boxed in and a PVC pipe leading to the front bar, Pacemaker extractors and 2 1/2 in mandrel bent system and mesh screens taken out form the air flow meter also i ditched the friggn airconditioning system from the motor, it was just dead weight and slowing me down, i also runned it on optimax, the combo was good until the motor died then i went turbo.

My n/a 3L has 240k on the clock the only mods are 2 1/4 from the cat back and a vl turbo 3.45 lsd, and it lites up 235's on demand

i'm new so i tell ya what i have. rb30e, SURECAM custom grind, chiptorque dyno tune, port polish, extractors, 2 1/2 zorst, hi-flow cat, cai, lsd. and its a 5speed. best run of 14.8. now i have just made a twin throttle body manifold and have yet to get it tuned so i have no idea of power figure now. DEANO on this forum has the same setup on his skyline and i think his best time is 14.6

extractors as cheap as second hand i got mine for like $80 bucks and they are in good nick

ive heard a xf falcon throtle makes for a nice mod to an n/a VL..... is this true? if so, make much difference??

Hey guy's Im a newby, I have a n/a exec, 5speed, with a few mods; a full aerotech interior, superlow king springs allround, s****y 15" auscar rims, calais boot strip, tacho dash, tinted windows, extractors and a 2 & 1/2" mandrel bent exhaust, sports uni filter, and custom airbox, where i took off the snorkel at the front, and covered the hole, then cut a hole in the metal under the box, and made a 4" plastic tubing cold air feed to the front bumper for the "ram-air" effect, It seems to work well. It also has a pretty good alarm system, and a reasonable stereo. Umm, also a sports steerer, and pedals. It goes quite well, but i seem to have lost my 1st and 2nd gear synchro's on the down shift, its ok going from 1st to 2nd. Can anyone tell me why its doing this, it was working when i took it to the mechanic for a bearing replacement, but doesnt work now! Any help would be appreciated, cheers.

why mess wit a falcon throttle body, the twin throttle body vlt intake is a real beast, i recommend you change the whole thing to that, it'll giv u all the airflow and 'grunt' you'll need (hopefully) lol

wot kind of injectors and fuel pump should i put in? i really want 2 mod it up good. and will it screw up the air/fuel ratio or will it just suck more air in too?

a ford xf throttle body is another cheap but very good investment. u have to do a few mods to the plenium chamber to get it to fit but when it does fit youll love it
