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

    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
