Looking For Pod Filter

Hey all!

I am not very automotively enclined, so I was after some advice. I am looking for a NEW decent filter for my turbo, probably a pod filter (?). basically I just want to replace the factory airbox in my S2 R33. I have heard Apexi is the way to go. I was hoping to get one by the weekend so I can get it installed this Sunday when I do my service.

So if you guys would be kind enough to point me in the right direction of where I can get one here in Adelaide (preferred) or somewhere online.

I had a quick look at the SAU traders with not much luck.

like I said, I am not very auto savy beyond checking the oil, coolant and the tyres having air in them :D, so any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

3a racing filter from motoquipe if you want a pod. i think autobarn might have them aswell.

instead of removing the airbox, look into either a decent panel filter, or mount a pod inside the airbox. think about it a bit and youll be able to figure out a way.

if you do remove the airbox and replace it with a pod, make sure you mount the pod somehow, it is illegal to have a pod floating, ie not mounted.

Forget pods, forget K&N (you might as well not have a filter), they're all a waste of time, effort and money for little to no gain.

Make a cold-air-induction if you must, or just wind up the boost for a real improvement.

Yeah I plan on mounting the filter when I install it. From my understanding it improves fuel economy more than any real power advancement.

It sounds as though I will have to look online for one. I have had a look on ebay and a friend of mine told me they have some dodgy ones on there but I will take another look.

No just dont get a cheap shit one, get an apexi one and you will be fine....

Pffft... it'll increase induction noise, that's about it, the rest is cosmetic.

If fuel economy is your concern, make sure your O2 sensor is tip-top, increase your tyre pressure, remove any superfluous weight, keep out of traffic light GP's, and drive economically.

i have a pretty much brand new (only been fitted to car about a week before taken off) K&N POD filter with RB25 adapter. Still in box/wraps (as i said practically brand new).

Throw me an offer if you want (pm) for both the adapter and pod.(You need both to directly bolt on to your car).

no offense to KISIN, but if you're gonna use a K&N pod, you may as well throw handfulls of dirt into your afm.

the Apexi is the way to go according to tests, and the 3A is alot cheaper and still right up there. i'd be choosing between those two.

      Biggest thing is you're okay!   It sounds like between the accident, and the drive home, it was a pretty torturous trip again! On the bright side, you took the opportunity to enjoy the event more from the perspective of a spectator, than as an entrant!   Sad to see so much damage to the car. It really has taken a HUGE hit in the front end. If/when you choose to repair, hopefully the rails are straight (At least from shock tower backwards). Hopefully the extra cage coming through there has save most of the chassis rails, and HOPEFULLY saved the motor too. Best of luck when you eventually get motivated to start pulling it down to check it all out

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?

      By PranK · Posted

      The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.

      What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!

      Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !
