and also could someone tell me how does the diffrence in inches makes to the performence and sound.

thanks

I've never seen #5 before, what is that? The Apexi one was rated the best out of HKS, Blitz and K&N in terms of filtration ability (overall power gain was just about the same across all 4), search for the thread and you should eventually find it. :D

welll thanks guys i think im defently going for the apexi pod.....but what about how ppl have 2 or 3 pods.....whats that all about (i guess for more air lol)....and how does one tell if one needs more then 1

how long do these things take to put in and get runnin......if all goes good ill get one tm haha

takes about 30mins to install

Twin Turbo = Twin Intake = Twin Pods

I think you'd need a full custom manifold to have twin pods on a single turbo or NA, you probably have to wire up another AFM too...

Not necessarily, you can have a pipe that splits into two, and run two pods off the one AFM.

Although, its entirely pointless, because the AFM will still be a bottleneck.

Could the AFM cope with having air pass through it at the higher airspeed created having twice the inlet size?

Why would it be at a higher air speed?

The turbo can only suck so much air in...

If there is twice the inlet size, its going to suck the same amount, it just wont be as dense.

all of those jap filters have really poor filtration which is why they have good airflow.

locally made unifilter pods filter much better but still flow well because they have a much larger surface area.

i think top racing sell apexi pm NIB on these forums he works there and should be able to help you out .

and yes go for Apexii have twin apexi pods on my gtr and they are real good (albeit filthy and need replacing)

sorry just realised your over east chec through all sau sponser sites that should be able to help you out

Yeah there was a trend somewhere on here that result from a test between the pod filters to see which ones was the best. I remenbered the apexi one came out on top then the blitz, K& N and then HKS.

Just get any pod filter they'll give you the loud induction sound that your after.

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
