Pod Box?

[MAS_R33]

Hi,

Have just decided to buy a Pod Filter for my R33 and was hoping to get a box for it to help hide it.

For now im still running stock intercooler.

Has anyone used one of these?

If so any feedback or pics??

Or does anyone have any experience with other boxes that are availalbe to purchase? I can't find many of these easily!

Thanks in advance.

How is something like that going to "hide" a pod?

[MAS_R33]

good point... guess 'hide' was the wrong word :-)

never the less you kno what i mean.

Also reading the description of the item it says it makes the pod legal in most states (i doubt that to be honest)...

Still its an investment im happy to make if i can get some feedback

The only way its legal is if you have a stock intercooler and stock plenum or else no matter what you do , you will get done for it and this is like the first thing in a cops head these days when checking skyline pod and cooler

i was told by a police officer that in vic you can legally have ONE intake mod, either pod or cooler?

Yeah thats correct

Save yourself the money and hassle. just get a highflow panel filter for your airbox and save up for an 80mm exhaust system or a bigger turbo.

Indeed i know what you mean.

Depending on your state etc it's still illegal.

And as stated, factory airbox + good panel filter is just as good AND legal to boot (if that is what you are concerned about when you mean hide )

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Yep I agree... just thought id try a pod for a while adn see what it was like.

I currently have a high flow panel filter on stock setup. I'm likely to return to it if pod gives me trouble.

All this aside, original question still stands... If anyone has bought one of these boxes Id like to hear about what they thought and what it was like.

cheers

Thanks mate. Would be great if you could let me know what it is like and how easy it is to bolt in.

looking forward to it!!

I made my own pod box from some alluminium sheeting. Pretty easy if you have access to a metal bender.

I'll post up some pics tonight if your interested, or do a search for my project 33 in NSW and you should find it. Although mine has a window in it so not very stealth.

Yeah mate love some pics. I found a guide on installing an Apexi and making a box on SAU so im guessing thats it? I'm not too sure how well I'd go making my own!

Just received and installed my pod seems to feel more responsive but wow its loud!

[DaveO74]

Sorry mate I didn't get around to posting pics yet. I'll post them up tonight for you.

Oh, the guide isn't mine but do a search inthe nsw section for "project 33 finally finished" by DaveO74 and it has a heap of pics in it

I use one which I purchased from another vendor much cheaper and of better quality. PM me if you want their details, and I have been pulled over once and the cop didn't say anything about it.

Really depends on how they're feeling, my friend nearly got defected in his EVO8 for a FMIC, the cop kept on insisting it was aftermarket although all EVOs come stock witha FMIC lol.... was hard to hold in our laughter!

[MAS_R33]

Thanks for all the replies guys.

Looking forward to pics and details!

John PM sent! thanks

sorry to hijak, in relation to the panel filters, are the apexi ones the way to go? what about the drift brand? they are both paper I think so can you clean them or are they a throw away item?

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

^^ As long as it is a high flow one.

APex'i / HKS / K&N they all do the job.

You can clean the filter with the K&N Cleaner Kit.

Unless you want to spend an extra $100+ each service buying a new filter...

Apply the cleaning solution to the filter and let it soak for 10mins.

Hose of with tap water and let it sit and dry in the sun.

You might even want to flick the filter to get rid of some excess water to speed up drying time.

K&N Cleaner Kit also give you an oil spray, no need to use it, but if you do, just a light spray only to catch excess particles.

DR/FT brand?! = Get the fuck out!

[TUF250]

ok sounds good. i like the idea of the apexi ones because they are paper. any idea where i can get one and what i should expect to pay? can they be cleaned?
