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...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
