Hi guys,

I'm looking for a cold air box to cover up the two apexi pod filters, but don't know who supplies them.

I'm not dressing up the engine bay, so a simpe one will do...

If anyone knows where and how much, please let me know thanks....really appriciated.

If you're making less than 600hp then go back to the standard airbox and problem solved.

If you really are not interested in dressing up the engine bay then there's not much point in using pod filters on a stock or around 400-450hp GTR the airbox is hardly a restriction. As long as you've removed the factory plastic plate from the airbox wheel arch intake.

that's interesting to know. But it's abit strange that the others told me that we should gain about 5kw with the apexi pod filters over the stock panel one, isn't this true ???

Nope. You're losing power in day to day driving. Hot air in the engine bay directly fed into your engine. Doesn't take a genius to figure that out. A partition blocking the engine bay heat will work I suppose but unless you spend a lot of money or time fabricating your own it's gonna look crap and cops love pointing out that kind of thing.

If it's just a track car then yeah maybe keep the pods.

Just take a look at some of the best GTR's out there, Mines, Nismo Z-Tune, theyre all using the factory airbox. The GTR airbox is a pretty decent item when you look at it closely. Just grab a K&N or Splitfire panel filter and away you go.

I have seen a few custom boxes made up that enclose pod filters. Performance Metalcraft in Sydney have a made a couple. But any decent performance fabrication place could do it. It anint gonna be overly cheap though, id say $300-$400 depending on materials used. My R32 GTR came with twin K&N pods, ive been measureing it up to see if i can build something to cover them up and avoid a defect notice. Im not interested in how it looks, ive seen a few GTR's that use perspex to cover the pods, but this is more bling.

One defect fine for pods would pay for your custom airbox though, and piece of mind.

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
