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.

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??

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
