Pod Filter Setups

[Johnny]

Hey guys, Im jst about to purchase a pod filter kit for my r34 gtr, now i was going to go with apexi's kit but i was curious to the other brands such as hks, blitz, trust etc

My stock airbox is fine for power with an apexi panel filter but i would like a louder induction growl and i like the asthetics aspect too so im not just after wank factor.

I would like some pics of various setups if people have them and perhaps some feedback to their quality etc

here is one that i quite like; can anyone identify the brand for me?

is this the apexi kit?

thankyou in advance, i would much appreciate it.

Std airbox works great at dissipating reversion back through the AFM's - plus its internally bellmouthed. I wouldn't think it would be a restriciton up to about 300awkw. If your going to go the wank factor though get the domed pods -HKS I think as they flow and do the above.

HKS look coolest and i know they sound good but i heard apexi flows best from a few reviews?

apexi kit is the best in my opinion.. as for the hks ones there more of a rock stopper than a air filter..

another plus about the apexi kit is when you upgrade to Z32 AFM's the filters bolt straight the afm's no need to buy new filters or adapters. just need to make new brackets

[rb26s13]

looks like blitz or mines

here is my HKS set-up

[infamous_t]

Apexi is best, due to paper & non oiled foam base.

That said, ARC airbox would also be a very wise investment

380rwkw on Snowmans car (stock airbox)

You'd loose power putting pods onto that car for sure!

Cant argue with teh man Ash, if he wants to loose a lil bita power, and a LOT of response in summer, its his own prerogative

That first pic is of a set of M's - exactly the same as I have on my GTR. Fantastic induction note, great bellmount design and look great.

Good thing is you can get K&N replacement filters for them cheap. I have enslosed mine and included a perspex lid for the best performance and visual appeal.

I also pop my bonnet when i drive at night while i drive to flow fresh/cold air right into the engine bay.

Waaahht?

I cannot believe i just read that myself... Im praying its some bad wording but i just cant see it...

You pop your bonnet off its primary while driving?

Man, you might have owned turbo cars, but you honestly have NFI and its pretty clear.

Your lucky the bonnet hasn't flung up and smashed your windscreen and destroyed the roof... and potentially killed YOU and other motorists when a windscreen of glass potentially hits your head.

Its gotta be one of the silliest & most dangerous things i've read on this forum in YEARS.

[rb26s13]

I can understand how your first reaction is based on emotion but im actually very upset at your response.

the bonnet will not fly open, physics will not allow it unless you are going an excessive speed.

you are seriously.. someone very f**king stupid with to much money. you dont deserve that r34. do you actually understand wat your saying?

[Rav]

Dont worry about some people on here, Its like they have fun putting people down.

They could of said it in a nice way, Like mate you shouldnt do that it can fly up, But no they say it to put you down dont take it to hurt.

I thought forums where in place so people can share and learn ideas.

[rb26s13]

sorry to put it so harshly dude but seriously think about it its a very very f**king dangerous thing to do and its not just your safety its everyone else around you that is at risk when you do it.

if your having over heating problems look into an oil cooler thicker radiator new engine fan or ANYTHING except popping the bonnet while driving.

[and3_3]

lol this is pretty funny, since its on a car forum.

Johnny your personal problems are not funny but this isnt the place to talk about them and you cant expect people you have never met to be understanding.

This forum is for sharing ideas and knowledge of skylines, so if someone makes fun of your ideas or doesn't agree with them its up to you whether you want to listen to them or not.

[and3_3]

Your probably right, but getting upset about it and pointing fingers isn't going to solve anything.

[aphid]

mate it's the internet, get over it - if i posted on an electricians forum that i used a fork to get my toast out of the toaster i'd expect a similar response. if you can't handle constructive critisism and it upsets you to this degree you probably shouldn't be on here...

[R33GTRKid]

all I can say is haha at Johnny, man whoever told you that shit about the secondary catch being manufactured for strength etc, (it is a secondary safety mechanism and not to be used as the primary, that's why they have the primary) was probably jealous of your car and wanted you to screw it up.

There are much better ways of sorting out the cool air issue (eg remove your right hand headlight and install and aftermarket intake etc.... but I am not sure why you are having overheating problems at night.....????

I have a set of M's intake pods and they sound and look the part

but if someone told me I would get better performance by putting them in a chamber of somesort then I sure as hell will.

Can someone tell me if the fibreglass verses plastic verses stainless airboxes are all on par with eachother for keeping the hot air away??
