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.

Nic_A31 Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 +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.

99 GTT Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 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...

Nic_A31 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 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 ?

Dorigecko Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 (edited) 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?
