Wrong!! In a number of ways. Twin pods are popular but on my RB25DETT in the track car I ran single AFM and single pod, however the stock GTR setup is single airbox and is good enough for my 260rwkw/0-100 in 4.02s.

I did realise that twin setups can be run off a single filter, but AnjoO was aksing about having multiple pods for a single setup - which IMO is pointless, the only real time when having multiple intakes would have a potential benefit is in a twin system.

If you want the loudest pod, the HKS one is the go.

I have one and the induction noise is huge - pity it's one of the worst filters! :D

But then again my pod is shielded so I'm not worried about that. Get a pod and you should always pair it with a box or shield.

i have a apexi pod on my r33 and to be honest after 8 months of driving the car im sick of the induction noise.i have brought a standed airbox and will be putting that on to see if that shuts it up some . the car came with the pod and i have brought the standed box since with a good pannel filter i dont expect to drop power just lose some of the noise i hope

cheers

Heres an idea,....

Get a microphone and mount it under your hood near the STANDARD EFFICIENT and LEGAL filter box

and amplify it through your stereo system so you can deafen yourself and impress all the 14 yo schoolboys waiting for the bus in your area.

SK I think your right!

Yeh well the pod selection is easy the next problem would be heatshielding. All good too put on a pod filter but if its sucking in hot air then can anyone say detonation!! especially on those lovely 40 degree plus australian summers.

man, get the apexi kit from greenline or nengun (check to see which is cheaper)

I got the twin pods on my gtr and they are loud enuff, and as you saw on the website test, the filter the best too.

the noise on a twin setup on a rb26 is much quiter than a single pod on an rb25

PS, I put this thread up there in my Top 20 worst ever questions

LOL sk!

Anyway - I have a LOUD K&N pod filter. I hate it, its too loud.

Anyway I have a custom heatshield, it fits R33. If you want it offer me $50plus $10 postage

Reason for sale - I now have a proper CAI box, from Maxx.

I also have a standard R33 airbox (no snorkel) with brand new B&N panel filter for $100 plus post if anyone is intrested.

to make a pod legal (in qld anyway) all you need is a fixed mount for it, for example a bar than comes from the adapter plate to one of the stock airbox mounts.

i have a front mount and can't run the stock airbox as i can't use the snorkel, so the airbox just sucks hot air, but i have a cold ait feed to the pod from the front bar, up through the empty intercooler hole.

having the pod partioned is only good if you have a feed to it. if you just have it partitioned off with no air feed to it then you will lose power.

i plugged the recirulation hole in the stock bov and that cut down a slight bit of induction noise. if you want a pod with minimal noise go for a k&n with the power intake top (the flat top one). i have had one before on my 180sx and it made no induction noise, and i'm veen in a skyline that had one with no noise, but it did have a slight partition. i will have to ask him if he has nosie now that he has put a hks filter on to see if is just the partition.

Well it turns out it WASNT a direct bolt on and i neee some bs adapter now...mmmmmmmmmmm....maybe i bought the wrong pod?

heres the one i got can someone tell me if i got the right one.

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
