Does anyone use an Apexi air pod filter are they worth the money and if you do use one do they make a difference.

i have one installed and trust me they wont disapoint ya and according to Apexi, there is a 10% reduction in pressure drop by utilizing an upper and lower funnel. The Apexi Power Intake reduces air turbulence within the filter and creates smooth air flow into the throttle body. check this website out

Thanks mate good info.

this can be bolted on straight into the AFM correct?

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...A%3AIT&rd=1

it will if it is the correct one for your car

500-A022 is direct bolt on for the r33,r32,z32,r34 AFMs

Q45 is the 500-A021

i find that with the apex-i pod filter - i can feel the turbo more on the passenger seat....i dont know why though....but the sound is sooooooooooooooo cool!! :(

does the sound from the apexi pod sound like a huge sucking vacuum. coz that's what my intake sounds like.

dunno what brand mine is. it's a mesh pod, looks kinda similar to the apexi.

Yeah its a vacuum like noise - but its not too loud. I just notice though that you can feel the turbo more with that on for some reason. Same thing with the car i test drove at kamikaze, All it had was the pod on it, and i could really feel the turbo kick in......

I dont think you clean them at all...they should last for ages. the linked site says its "zero maintenance"

Before you buy off ebay consider Kudos's offering, same price and aussie delivered, not a shonky guy and express posted to your door. cant complain with that. Just got mine last week and im uber happy. Better than the HKS one i had on b4

just got mine in a few days ago. Seems more quiet then the HKS one, but I think I feel a bit more 'power' in it? Or maybe cos its the cold day.... :ermm:

very noisy pod, makes noise on the slightest throttle opening, zero maintenance means that when it gets dirty u chuck it out and buy a new one, so not cheap in the long run. didnt feel any power increase.

    • That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu. 
    • Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.        
    • Sharing results from recent Liberty Walk R35 GTR, since they are still considered as somesort of a V36 Skyline. We do them turbos too. This are high flowed SS-1 models with ball bearing conversion done.  Car have managed to pull 485awkws @ 20Psi so far pushing limitations of factory built engine. The build list for R35 GTR enthusiasts as follow : HyperGear high flowed stock turbos in SS1 (G25-660 specs) Custom titanium intake pipes. Vspec performance titanium front pipes. Vspec performance 4" titanium exhaust. Upgrade fuel pumps. 1200cc injectors. Ignition coilpacks Hks intake plenum. Hks intercooler piping. Greddy intercooler. Greddy bovs. Top-secret coolant reservoir. Emtron ecu. Straight E85. Built gear box.  
    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
