I'm keen on the sound of a pod too... but i agree that it's pointless without a decent airbox and CAI (like mine is now - just a pod attracting hot air)...

So yeah, i'd say if you wanna go all the way (pod + box + CAI) like i will eventually... pod's the go!

Otherwise i'd agree with a lot of other and just whack a K&N pannel filter in your std. box, then maybee later look at other ways of feeding air into it...

(just my 2c)

I had trust twin pods in cold air box and went back to standard air box with K&N element. I made a cold air feed from flexible duct from my front bar to the cutout in the front skirt and the standard box also has the cold air feed on top. Makes the same power and keeps the TOG off my back.

Get one of them CAI boxes from the group buy going on (look the goods), and if you get a pod whack it in. That would probably cost you $300 or so, and you get to keep the noise.

otherwise just get a good panel filter... K&N, etc.

As people have said the standard airbox with a cold feed is most probably better than a pod sucking in hot air. If you are going for a pod though, check out:

I'd be going a K&N or Apexi myself. I've got an Apexi on my car at the moment, but it could do with replacing as it's had a fair life by the looks of it :P

today i picked up a new K & N POD from autobarn - i think it was 169 but got 20% off. Now I just need to add a CAI....The sound is great and they seem to filtrate fairly well :cheers:

Without trying to pick a fight at all; how would you know how well it's filtering?

****, server just ****ed up and lost my post - i am too laser to type it all again - basically the filtration is very evident as i live in semi-rural so lots of dust and shit - seems to filter just as well if not better than stnd - also i have read a few online test between the brands where K & N came out second overall

Yeah i have an apexi duel funnel and that works a treat but one problem is that what happens when it looks dirty how do you clean them or do you just tap the crap out gently?

good question, they claim they're maintenence free :)

I've washed mine in turps, didn't really clean that much crap out. I might try washing it in water next time. Either that or just buy a new one when it looks like mine :)

    • 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.
