I had a Power Enterprise pod before my 3L conversion, very loud 12months of use and was nothing inside. Was in a UAS cold air box with a CAI Now running an Apexi pod with a hard intake pipe, cant complain with either.

The most important thing is they are set up properly away from heat and dust. The performance differences between brands would be negligable.

I had a KnN wet oil pod setup but changed it to HKS

I had the green HKS pods with hard pipes for a while and they were OK.

But I have now changed to simota urathae pods. They are a dry type pod that is molded from a single piece.

they work great. Just wash them in soapy water every 6 months and put them back in. They are much bigger then the HKS ones so more surface area for the air to be drawn in from.

can someone tell me or better still show me how a cold air intake is installed on a GTR from the bumper?

I know that the stock setup has a snorkle running into it that intakes air from above the radiator and funnels it into the stock airbox. I am wondering if you can retain the stock snorkle and instead of it going into your stock airbox, you have it plumbed through the partition that separates your pods from the rest of your engine bay. Would this work or do you need to have a full custom snorkle running from under the bumper somewhere and up and if so, can you buy these pore fabed?

I used that pod on my Integra Type R, and it was located inside the bumper. SO got the full brunt of dirt water and dust. Brilliant pod!

Am on Apex'i now. Cant be happier. Its a cute little thing tho, compared to some of the other monsters.

Im going to clean mine this week, but not with water, probly with the compressor from the inside out. Unless someone thinks this is a bad idea.

Good find with that Autosalon article, remember reading that ages ago and was amazed by that 3A racing filter.

yer these are very good cos there is no oil on them and all oiled filters can be bad for the afm,i rate them high

    • 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
