I ran a ryco panel filter and made upwards of 300rwkw.

Recently dropped in a BMC panel filter; induction is a tad louder.

Where did you get ur bmc panel filter?

so all this talk of pod filters, is really not true?

they dont have a huge benefit?

I have a modded airbox. 100mm CAI cut in to the bottom of the airbox that leads in to the front inner bumper. This isn't possible to do with the R33's.

If you can setup a good CAI in to the stock R33 airbox I'd say its easily good for 300rwkw and better for hot weather.

I've tried a pod in the past and found a very noticeable difference in warm weather. The car noticeable feels gutless with slower spool.

All though the 3ltr masks it I don't notice a great deal of power difference in hot weather.

Where did you get ur bmc panel filter?

Autobarn. $113 from memory.

Was an impulse purchase. Went in for the usual ryco spotted these and thought bugger it. Its about time I spent some $$ on an air filter lol.

How long has this air box vs pod filter debate gone on for?! Hahaha...

Some say there's barely any difference when driving at speed, but when stationary, sure - a unshielded pod will be sucking up air which is 70+ degree's. Pod + shield + snorkel = win.

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
