i was thinking of a vent in the bonnet above the pod filter as well, however the main problem then is water getting into ur engine bay and if driving ur induction system! would need to have like a drainage system or like a vent cover so in the rain u can drive, but no cold air :cheers:

I wouldnt know which one is the loudest, but heres a comparison somebody did between different filters. Apexi was the best :D

I have an Apexi pod, but I found that unless you're using a cold air partition, the HKS gives you noticably more power. I *think* this is because it faces more to the front and has more of a face to the incoming cold air, whereas the Apexi pod can suck in hot air from the sides. But when I put the box in, the power was pretty much the same for both (I couldn't tell the difference anyway).

If you didn't want a cold air box/partition, I would probably prefer the HKS filter or another one of a similar shape. Although then you have to worry about the particle filtration, which was my main concern when choosing the Apexi pod.

I've got a Blitz SUS LM on mine, and yup, its friggin loud. You can hear it sucking, even when slightly cruising. With the window down its probably the loudest thing you can hear in my car! Its kinda cool, and annoying at others - but its staying on.

So if a cop pulls any of you over, and pops your bonnet, and sees a pod/s they will defect you right?

I had a large K&N pod on my old car (Alfa Romeo) but it was on the end of a pipe which I had custom made to sit down very low away from the engine and close (but not too close so that it sucked up water from puddles in the rain) to the road. And the cops would never have found it because you couldn't see it but damn could you hear it!!!!!!

I want to install duel pods in my RB26 but I don't want to get defected!

Best Bet are get a photo of it possbily and post it in the for sale section (parts) and most likly some one will buy it u just have to figure out a price to sell it...how much u ask?? i have no idea. I have found that people have still been buying them, so all i can say good luck.

Also those tests are with a high concentration of particles and toxins, and it never gets that bad on "normal" roads, but to stop the really microscopic particles u can’t use foam at all. Best bets are for a Mesh type filter wet or dry, out of the tests I would go for the apexi one but i personally want one that i can clean nothing is clear forever and will eventually restrict flow, I myself have a k&n filter with the light oil it has and the Mesh type filter I’m pretty sure its doing a good job (I don’t believe 100% those test u don’t know if they are new etc). My 2 Cents.

For those running the Blitz Sus LM are there any temp problems and how often do you clean them, if at all?

I'm thinking of buying one, but i can't find the Stainlees steel one. Only the..er..non stainles steel. hehe

The review, earlier, shows that it does not filter that well. Has anybody had any filtration problems while using a Pod?

I currently have a K&N panel filter in my standard air box. You can hear the induction noise from the inside and a slight BOV sound, but it's not that loud. If the radio is on all you hear is the exchaust......and the radio of course!! :wassup:

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
