Get rid of it...a POD makes a better 'whoosh' sound...so you can impress those lady bois. :blush:

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.

+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.

Lol Joe whats with you and "lady bois"?

Not me it's perthute...

...whatever floats his boat...I'm a 'live & let live' kinda guy. :blush:

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)

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) :P

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

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.. =)

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

fixed

:banana:

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:

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
