Guys i was looking into some pod yesterday, was thinking of which pod actually suit me better for my 33 until i saw an article about 3A racing pod. I believe you guys know its a cheap pod and probably can get it from supercheap or repco. amazingly the 3A racing pod do better than any pod that we are using today like apexi, hks, and more famous brands. below is a link to show you the magic of these pod! Its a short article but with fancy pictures so will not be boring, starting today change your pod filters to 3A racing pod lol.

what a joke .

what is the piont of a FILTER . to FILTER particles out of the air that damage your engine . get something that filters properly and if you can prove on the dyno it is a restriction get a bigger filter untill it is not

having plenty of experience with filters on moto x bikes the general consesus is oiled cotton and oiled foam are on par with each other while clean but when dirty the k&n will outflow the foam ones due to more surface area

although rush goes some way towards fixing this with its contoued outer surface

Years ago Xspeed tested all the big name Filters on my Dyno, the $20 dollar specials were the highest power outputs and now afte all the years theres been no damage from poor filtration. Many of the mega Dollar stainless mesh big name jobs catch small animals and rocks and nothing else.

dont know with you other guys that are running these filters, do yous have really loud induction noise and some flutter too. with my 180 i have this filter and sounds like the turbo is spooling up and its not even boosting, sounds cool tho.

Yeh i personally don't believe it. I take these tests with as much seriousness as tests of flow on catalytic converters. It is very easy to over clock the flow rate and then quote the filter rate at the bench flow rate. Everybody looks at the flow rate and goes oh wow it MUST be good, but then don't stop to think that the quoted filterage could be taken at a lower flow rate.

I used to have a 3A filter on my car. Replaced it with an Apexi and i could definitely feel the improved response, plus i have to clean the Apexi filter more often than i did the 3A, which tells me it is picking up more of the dirt rather than letting it through.

thanks for the info. New for me. gonna get one for my 33 :)

LOL looks like i am advertising for 3A... personally didnt belive such cheap pod can do better than any other brands but with my opinion, the price of the brand name is there for a reason, so lastly i had choose Apexi pod for my 33. for whatever reason it just seems like a scam to me lol no offense but just unbelieveabe. I would say i can give it a try but not on my 33 or may be my daily (In case to see how it goes) haha.

Im fitting 1 to my GTiR Racecar, Good power, good filtering and cheap enough to replace often. Ive seen the results 1st hand and can think of lots of other places the extra money could really help. The money saved is the difference between good DS3000 Brake pads and sensational RS14 Pagid for example.

    • 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.
