Hey guys, Im jst about to purchase a pod filter kit for my r34 gtr, now i was going to go with apexi's kit but i was curious to the other brands such as hks, blitz, trust etc

My stock airbox is fine for power with an apexi panel filter but i would like a louder induction growl and i like the asthetics aspect too so im not just after wank factor.

I would like some pics of various setups if people have them and perhaps some feedback to their quality etc

here is one that i quite like; can anyone identify the brand for me?

Std airbox works great at dissipating reversion back through the AFM's - plus its internally bellmouthed. I wouldn't think it would be a restriciton up to about 300awkw. If your going to go the wank factor though get the domed pods -HKS I think as they flow and do the above.

380rwkw on Snowmans car (stock airbox) :laugh:

You'd loose power putting pods onto that car for sure!

That first pic is of a set of M's - exactly the same as I have on my GTR. Fantastic induction note, great bellmount design and look great.

Good thing is you can get K&N replacement filters for them cheap. I have enslosed mine and included a perspex lid for the best performance and visual appeal.

I cannot believe i just read that myself... Im praying its some bad wording but i just cant see it...

You pop your bonnet off its primary while driving?

Man, you might have owned turbo cars, but you honestly have NFI and its pretty clear.

Your lucky the bonnet hasn't flung up and smashed your windscreen and destroyed the roof... and potentially killed YOU and other motorists when a windscreen of glass potentially hits your head.

Its gotta be one of the silliest & most dangerous things i've read on this forum in YEARS.

I can understand how your first reaction is based on emotion but im actually very upset at your response.

the bonnet will not fly open, physics will not allow it unless you are going an excessive speed.

you are seriously.. someone very f**king stupid with to much money. you dont deserve that r34. do you actually understand wat your saying?

Dont worry about some people on here, Its like they have fun putting people down.

They could of said it in a nice way, Like mate you shouldnt do that it can fly up, But no they say it to put you down dont take it to hurt.

I thought forums where in place so people can share and learn ideas.

Edited by Rav

sorry to put it so harshly dude but seriously think about it its a very very f**king dangerous thing to do and its not just your safety its everyone else around you that is at risk when you do it.

if your having over heating problems look into an oil cooler thicker radiator new engine fan or ANYTHING except popping the bonnet while driving.

lol this is pretty funny, since its on a car forum.

Johnny your personal problems are not funny but this isnt the place to talk about them and you cant expect people you have never met to be understanding.

This forum is for sharing ideas and knowledge of skylines, so if someone makes fun of your ideas or doesn't agree with them its up to you whether you want to listen to them or not.

mate it's the internet, get over it - if i posted on an electricians forum that i used a fork to get my toast out of the toaster i'd expect a similar response. if you can't handle constructive critisism and it upsets you to this degree you probably shouldn't be on here...

all I can say is haha at Johnny, man whoever told you that shit about the secondary catch being manufactured for strength etc, (it is a secondary safety mechanism and not to be used as the primary, that's why they have the primary) was probably jealous of your car and wanted you to screw it up.

There are much better ways of sorting out the cool air issue (eg remove your right hand headlight and install and aftermarket intake etc.... but I am not sure why you are having overheating problems at night.....????

I have a set of M's intake pods and they sound and look the part

but if someone told me I would get better performance by putting them in a chamber of somesort then I sure as hell will.

Can someone tell me if the fibreglass verses plastic verses stainless airboxes are all on par with eachother for keeping the hot air away??

    • Hello, everyone. I'm new to the forum. I have a 1989 Nissan Skyline R32 GTR. I have lost all power to the interior, including AC controls, the gauge cluster, turn signals, and windows. Stuff that still works includes the horn, brake lights, radio, and headlights. All fuses, in the interior and exterior boxes, tested good.  It starts and runs fine, just with no gauge power or anything stated above. No warning lights either. Things that I have tested: - Fusable link tested fine - No other fuses blown - Alternator good - IGN switch tested fine - With my power probe, I can backfeed power through the IGN pin to the plug on the back of the gauge cluster, and everything comes back on.    So my theory is something on the control side that sends the ignition power through the system isn't doing its job, or a wire is broken. (I would think that it is the ignition switch that would do that, but who knows?). The ignition relays don't fire (all relays tested good). So what tells them to fire other than the IGN switch?  I would really appreciate it if someone had some insight on this. I have tons of hours into this; I don't want to give up in defeat! I have the HD wiring diagram, but having all those wires laid out like that on one sheet of paper makes things pretty hard to follow.  Thanks for reading, and thanks for the replies.  Where should I look next? Thanks.
    • Install a MAP sensor pre and post throttle. Best data you could have for NA, then play with the bends and/or air box and see how much of inflection is created at WOT on the plot.
    • And gone to a new home  
    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
