Pod Filter

[The White Knight]

Hey all,

I know its been discussed a billion times, but i'm in the need of a new POD Filter for my R33.

I am looking at a K&N one, but have no idea which model to get.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Cheers

What pod did you have before?

Any pod will do, as long as it fits (same diametre as your last pod) the adapter / Air Flow Metre.

Dont get a KnN if you have the stock AFM.

People say that over time the oil can get on the AFM wire and cause problems. And for the same price, you could get an APEXi filter that is dry.

apexi ones are very nicely made, you could always get a HKS rock/bird filter

You don't have to oil up the K&N ones.

You can just leave them dry.

+ when K&N say to oil them, they just mean a light spray, don't soak it.

Carefull with the EPA though, because all oil loaded filters are a no-no.

I'm running a dry Blitz and recommend it.

I've got a HKS pod set up (filter is new) complete with cast alloy bolt on japspec hi flow adapter and bracing struts of my R34GTT which I'm not using,- yours for only $50.OO + P&P

i have had k&n with no problems all i did was go down to my local speed shop and look for the biggest 1 that would fit with out going over board then i got the guy to find that filter with the correct diameter pipe. swapped the filter on the spot it fitted and i was on my way.

ppl have problems with k&n when the re oil them after cleaning they put to much oil and then u get oil on the AFM but if this happens u just spray it with AFM cleaner (u should do this at filter change any way)

may i recommend a metal pod filter adapter because they dont brake i had one brake on me 4 no reason so i fixed it with super glue and drove down to auto1 got a new one and now no problems

and dont 4get to make a filter bracket to secure everything down because if u dont do this u will not pass pits

would you like to buy a fullstop?

Sounds good guys. I'll have a look at the diameter of existing one and go from there. Prob need a new AFM anyway. Had issues in underground carparks (as well as other times) where my revs would fluctuate badly - from 200 to 1500, then car would stall when i gave it a little gas. Had it data-streamed but nothing came up.......weird. Hasn't happened in a while now though.

Anyway, i'll take into account the advice given

cheers

I got a 3a racing pod filter. Proven to be te best in filtration and flow. The HKS one came last and it the worst filter of most of them

Got the proof from an independent source to back up your claim?

(website???)

I'd be interested in that too the last time I saw a pod survey concluding that the best filtration was with Apexi it later turned out the the survey was done by guess who--- ah hem, wouldn't have been Apexi by any chance-- yup.

It's a PDF File from an Auto Salon magazine.

Ah Ha-- definately gospel , this from a publication that (in it's genre) has the worst art direction, worst type selection, worst photography,worst editorial, the list of worst is endless when it comes to this rag , it was recently sold, - just before it went broke, -I wish the new proprietor the best of luck with this dog imo they are going to need it.

Hah!

Yep, that's it.

Surprisingly I have on Auto Salon rag, which was given to me in 2008 and it had a decent write up on track cars and the High Octane / Yokohama ADVAN R32 GTR.

The rest was just wannabe Fast and the Furious car meet up shit.

That doesnt mean they are any good.

They appear to have the best flow characteristics, but lack the filtration. They are just a piece of green foam haha.

Japs are like americans, Name means everytihng

Each to their own i guess. I read it on the internet they are crap. So it must be true!
