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:

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
