Hi guys, Obviously one of the first things a Skyliner does is install a Pod. What I want to know is, what is the best type, brand etc when considering:

1) Best Flow

2) Best Price

3) Best sounding (For all the ricers out there :) )

Any friendly advice and help will be great!

You could do a lot worse than the Apexi Pod filters. They would be the best that I know of. Not that foam crap that gradually deteriorates and gets ingested by your engine. Apexi is washable and is priced quite well .....look on ebay

In all seriousness they are all pretty much the same give or take 1%. Induction noise is the same and also you won't notice any power increase. I have 3 Pod's 3A Racing, Autobarn cheapie and an Apexi. Never noticed any difference between the 3 and the only reason I have the Apexi on now is because it bolts straight to the AFM.

im sorry but alot of this is wrong!!! threads like this have been done time and time again..... there was a thread a while back where i put up the results of all the most common pods!! not gonna go into as much detail but

those saying APEXI... bullcrap they cost four times more for half as much quality

3 a racing 1st flow 601cfm (yes i couldnt believe it a cheapie and no i dont use these personally)

K&n secondish flow 579cfm

simota secondish flow 594cfm but poor filtration

(APEXI) CRAP 533 cfm

tenzo

AEM

hks direct

trust airinx

all between 550 and 500 cfm and not the best filtration

thankyou

i personally use twin drift filters cant remember what the figures were but they werent in the test... i do know these area fairly good tho

refering to pod filters test from AutoSalon Mag 2007 (can't remember which month)

- 3A racing came 1st in flow and 2nd in filtration ($42.50)

- K&N : 1st in filtration and 4th in flow

- Apexi : came around 6th in both flow and filtration

I had Apexi and now i've got 3A on my car..

Cheers

Wow, the 3A Racing seems to be the go. I always love it when 'cheap brand' items rate the highest. I guess its why I love Jacar Response Car audio as well. Whats the induction noise of those 3A filters? Anyone had experience with these filters?

3A is quite good. a lot better than my stock airbox sound wise. cant say preformance or comparisons to other pods

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
