Hi everyone,

My parents had recently bought a stagea m35 ar-x. I was originally after an Apexi pod filter but i was unable to find one for that particular model. Would anyone know if they are they same fittings as the older model stageas or r34? Or any highly rated pod filter that anyone would recommend.

any help would be appreciated.

cheers!

i believe they are different to C34 intakes.

the V35 kits apparently dont fit either, but considering they use the same airbox setup, i dont see how they would. but its a risk.

there ARE M35 kits, but if youre buying from japan, be aware you MUST have one for an NM35 VQ25DET. or just put a panel in the stock airbox like most of us have anyway

Yes, the Blitz LM and SUS Power pods both come in a kit for the NM35.

Don't think that they offer the greatest filtration though.

Try to find a place that stocks 3A Racing pods, much better than Apexi and about a third of the price.

If you find a store that stocks them, get them to fit it :laugh:

Same airbox, different intake piping (obv).

but remember the pod sits where the airbox would (seeing as its removed) so i dunno why a V35/PM35 one wont fit if they run the same airbox.

anyway, nothing is better than an apexi pod :laugh:

For the same reason that lovely Mishimoto radiator did not fit in my M35, bit fits straight into a G35/V35...

"anyway, nothing is better than an apexi pod :laugh:"

As usual, I enjoy your sarcasm, Iain!

thanks for that. ill see how i go about sourcing out a 3A Racing one. has anyone here have one on and would you need an adapter as well?

cheers!

Don't have one on (if I ever get around to my custom airbox I will though - so many things to do...), but here are the dimensions;

Width: 160mm

Height: 130mm

Neck: 77mm

The neck goes onto the pipe, so I guess if the measurement fits, it should* fit straight on your AFM if you take the adaptor plate off.

Alternatively, you could have an adaptor plate made up to fit?

OR you could just put a good quality panel filter in.

I've got a Blitz SUS Power Kit but havent put it in yet. It's still new in the box and I might be selling it as the car "might" be going.

From past experience, I've had no issues with the SUS Power filter. I used this on a 350Z and going on the track a few times (and going off into the dirt), the filter has worked pretty well and found no issues with any dirt going beyond the filter itself. What I did notice was dirty it was in a short period of time so had to clean it by blowing compressed air from the inside out.

They certainly are nice piece of kit.

Stainless Steel mesh, so no need to replace.

Can you post pics of the kit?

It is just the pod and the adaptor plate for attaching to the AFM, yes?

I paid about 70 bucks for a k&n panel filter, tho i have the power duct too.. probably the safest one to use i guess. f**k pods and other filters. hks ones cause loads of trouble for my precious front compressor wheel

Which panel filter from K&N fits the M35? There are a shitload of them and I can't find one listed for the M35 or V35 anywhere (I read somewhere the V35 has the same airbox).

Don't want to get the wrong one.

if its to fit in the standard airbox, then yes the V35 airbox is the same. AFAIK the Z33 may also take the same filter. come to think of it, its a fairly standard size and i bet you about 50% of japanese made cars will take it. when i put my blitz in, the back of the box listed probably over 100 car makes and models that it suited.......

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
