If you're making less than 600hp then go back to the standard airbox and problem solved.

If you really are not interested in dressing up the engine bay then there's not much point in using pod filters on a stock or around 400-450hp GTR the airbox is hardly a restriction. As long as you've removed the factory plastic plate from the airbox wheel arch intake.

that's interesting to know. But it's abit strange that the others told me that we should gain about 5kw with the apexi pod filters over the stock panel one, isn't this true ???

Nope. You're losing power in day to day driving. Hot air in the engine bay directly fed into your engine. Doesn't take a genius to figure that out. A partition blocking the engine bay heat will work I suppose but unless you spend a lot of money or time fabricating your own it's gonna look crap and cops love pointing out that kind of thing.

If it's just a track car then yeah maybe keep the pods.

Just take a look at some of the best GTR's out there, Mines, Nismo Z-Tune, theyre all using the factory airbox. The GTR airbox is a pretty decent item when you look at it closely. Just grab a K&N or Splitfire panel filter and away you go.

I have seen a few custom boxes made up that enclose pod filters. Performance Metalcraft in Sydney have a made a couple. But any decent performance fabrication place could do it. It anint gonna be overly cheap though, id say $300-$400 depending on materials used. My R32 GTR came with twin K&N pods, ive been measureing it up to see if i can build something to cover them up and avoid a defect notice. Im not interested in how it looks, ive seen a few GTR's that use perspex to cover the pods, but this is more bling.

One defect fine for pods would pay for your custom airbox though, and piece of mind.

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
