Does anyone use an Apexi air pod filter are they worth the money and if you do use one do they make a difference.

i have one installed and trust me they wont disapoint ya and according to Apexi, there is a 10% reduction in pressure drop by utilizing an upper and lower funnel. The Apexi Power Intake reduces air turbulence within the filter and creates smooth air flow into the throttle body. check this website out

Thanks mate good info.

this can be bolted on straight into the AFM correct?

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...A%3AIT&rd=1

it will if it is the correct one for your car

500-A022 is direct bolt on for the r33,r32,z32,r34 AFMs

Q45 is the 500-A021

i find that with the apex-i pod filter - i can feel the turbo more on the passenger seat....i dont know why though....but the sound is sooooooooooooooo cool!! :(

does the sound from the apexi pod sound like a huge sucking vacuum. coz that's what my intake sounds like.

dunno what brand mine is. it's a mesh pod, looks kinda similar to the apexi.

Yeah its a vacuum like noise - but its not too loud. I just notice though that you can feel the turbo more with that on for some reason. Same thing with the car i test drove at kamikaze, All it had was the pod on it, and i could really feel the turbo kick in......

I dont think you clean them at all...they should last for ages. the linked site says its "zero maintenance"

Before you buy off ebay consider Kudos's offering, same price and aussie delivered, not a shonky guy and express posted to your door. cant complain with that. Just got mine last week and im uber happy. Better than the HKS one i had on b4

just got mine in a few days ago. Seems more quiet then the HKS one, but I think I feel a bit more 'power' in it? Or maybe cos its the cold day.... :ermm:

very noisy pod, makes noise on the slightest throttle opening, zero maintenance means that when it gets dirty u chuck it out and buy a new one, so not cheap in the long run. didnt feel any power increase.

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
