Which Pod Goes Into A M35?

[[[d a n n y]]]

apparently they are really common

i think same size as the commodore 1's

According to the Guys at Just-Jap they told me that its the same bolt pattern as R33 GTST AFM's. They recomended bolting an Apexi R33 pod straight up to the AFM.

I havent checked this, but I have pulled the AFM out and traced its shape so I can go in and check before purchasing.

its not the same as a Z32 AFM, its slightly smaller. my spare apexi pod wouldnt fit and i was hoping it would!!

[nickcorr]

Same as the one for the R33 GTS-t and lots of Commodes...

According to the K&N box, model number;

33-2031-2

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.

Thanks. Never done much modifying so I have a lot of learning to do. Only ever really done normal servicing (and that was just on a falcon)

You and me both.

My M35 is the first car I have "played" with... Had a VH crappydore and an R31 but had no interest in modding so they were both stock as a rock and rather boring.

s15 is one that comes to mind. also wrx use the same

i got the box at home with the part number if you need it later?

Common panel filter indeed.

Here is the list of Nissan's that use the same panel filter as an M35 (easy to find Australian landed models in bold)

well after my turbo im thinking of going pod anywayz

so ill chuck my panel up for sale sooner or later

[Midol]

Thanks guys.

Did you just "know" which ones matched up or did you match a part number from the panel in the car itself?

Does a pod have any real performance increase over a panel? By real I mean worthwhile.

[[[d a n n y]]]

well pod vs panel

more cold air to engine is better than limited air

but then u gota think about the engine heat that the pod sucks in as well

with the filters matching. we just know lol

theres no part numbers on the OEM filter i dont think

when the stock panel i pulled out was caked in black gunk i decided it was time for a new one.

my friends ordered me a k&n one for about 70 bucks, well worth it i say! i then went about fixing the intake to make it better.

... and what exactly did you do to the intake?

Did you just run an extra CAI into the stock box and open up the stock funnel?

Or did you change the intake piping? If so... PICSORBAN!!

Only if you make up a sealed airbox with sufficient cold air flowing in such as incorporating the OE air funnel and adding a CAI from the front bumper... but even then, you are still restricted by the intake piping.

I find it interesting that F1 use a panel filter... you would think that if a panel filter is good enough for an F1 car then the intake restriction is more to do with piping and CAI's than whether the filter is a pod or panel.

Zee picture! its nothing really just attacked it with a die grinder and saw as the opening for the intake was warped and closing up.

will look at a alloy intake pipe eventually. westside shall do a good job for me.

[zei20l]

did you adjust the rubber seal on the bonnet to accommodate for the intake scoop?

[Angus Smart]

for that power duct thing? that was already on the car when i got it

and by adjust you mean cut.. yes..

[zei20l]

it was already on it? bastard!!! lol

and its cut? nice work!

[Angus Smart]

nar i cut it. we did the grease trick to see where it was closing when i was doing the die grind on the other thing.
