im stuck with the pod filter because my intercooler pipeing runs threw where the standard air box used to be... i hate the sucking noise with a passion, id rather listen to the spooling

I saw a bit off the standard air box because of the intercooler piping,

now Im thinking of getting a pod filter cause it's taking up too much space.

But I don't want one that's too loud,

can any1 recommend an inexpensive pod that makes modest noise and gives equivalent if not better performance response?

i have a S2 R33 for vehicle reference.....:i tried a pod and it made my car more unresponsive....like it had a bit of room on the accelerator that made no effect.(dont know how else to explain it)...also had some huge suction noise which i wasnt a fan of....but i did have the flutter i was after.....

could of the problem with the pod been that the connect to the AFM was not completely airsealed tight or something..or does this happen normally by making it less responsie?...any advice or answers would be awesome!

You should check to make sure no air is leaking out, use hose clamps to hold the pod onto the pipe.

It should have some effect cuz your car is turbo, yes you could be sucking in hot air, then make an air box around the pod or make a large pipe to feed air to the pod or upgrade your intercooler.

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
