I agree a Blitz or K&N Pod Filter are good but mind you I have a Apexi panel filter and My car still goes great.

[Hanaldo]

Lol Joe whats with you and "lady bois"?

K&N panel filters are definitely one of the best on the market, APEXi are up there too... But i also say go the pod filter

+1 for trendy brand names, making your R33 GTST different from the rest...

Keep the snorkel and top half of the air box, and get a pod filter, then you get a dardy whoosh sound AND cold air....then you get all the ladies, boys and 'ladie bois'...but you'll be flying by too fast to stop and pick them up.

Don't really see the point in the pod if you get rid of cold air. Close to no performance difference between sucking in lots of hot air, or less amounts of cold air, it doesnt even look cool.

Hanson at xspeed reckons a cold air box around a POD is useless on the road where tons of cold air is available due to the car moving fwd.

Why bother putting on a pod just to make a box that you already had with the panel filter?

If you do a search you will find there is stuff all if any difference except,

1) Panal filters are LEGAL!!! (and yes i know that if a pod is secured properly it is too, but tell officer Plod that when he is looking under ur bonnet.. lol)

2) Stock Look and still make the same power.

It comes down to what you like but if you realy want something different the stock you would be better of putting in

a ARC air box...

But everyone to there own that is what makes us all different..

p.s. You can still here the wastegate just as well with a panel filter fitted especially with a Twin Dump pipe fitted...

(not that i need to impress the ladies when the wife is next to me lol)

[johnny boii]

dude dont mock that shit it works

chicks f**king dig it hahaha

[perthute]

yes wanted to stick with the factory airbox due to the cold air intake and boyz in blue

picking up the car today (just brought it)

will be looking into coilovers and clutch to suit drift and see how the factory diff goes :?

[br3ndan]

Get a air diversion plate put in... pushes the air up and into the engine bay/pod filter....

that + pod should be more than ok... for street use.

if your going to get a cold air induction go CF.. =)

Put the pod inside a big PVC pipe that runs down to where the stock SMIC was, or even place the pod down in that area and put something around it so water and shit doesnt go in ?

Cold Air FTW

I have some custom 33 airboxs that allow you to use pod and keep the boys in blue happy

apexi. best flow, without using any oil, which can screw with your AFM if you over oil.

you pay for quality $500

couldn't find any pics from a gts-t but this gives you an idea of the setup

what's so confusing about that?

best way about it.

you hide the filter, you get cold air from outside the engine bay, and if you protect it, water and shit won't f**k it up and such.

honestly, just get a pod, and direct cold air up into the filter. isn't that what your fully sick veilside aero kits are for?

FYI, these are lady boys:
