This topic has been covered many times before.

My opinion - go for a high flow panel filter like a K&N. Though you'll only be looking at minimal power gains. To maximise bang for buck, you could run another pipe from the front bumper up to the airbox for extra cold air (together with the stock airbox intake funnel).

I think pod filters are a waste of time with or without a heat shield.

Cheers

I used the search button and found this thread! I also am thinking of removing air pods and goin for stock airbox. But dunno if my GReddy intake piping will line up with a stock air box.

Maybe a custom made one is the go! ? Can't imagine all that hot air is doin the intercooler any favors....

I agree,

I think after reading many threads & different methods the best set up is a dry panel filter with a custom cold air intake

system at the front bar...

This thread was purely intended to get as many people's outlooks on Pods Vs Panel set ups, so please throw in your 2c.

If you go pod you have to build a heat shield, otherwise it will only sap power and promote detonation. They do make it sound better apparently though. The verdict, thread after thread, tends to be go with a decent panel filter, and cold air intake if you're hardcore :D

When i bought my 33 gtst it came with an uncovered pod. I was made aware of them soaking up heat so i made a shitty shield in an attempt to stop it, but dont think it helped much. I have never really cared either way, but after going in my other mates gtst with standard air box, the pod does give my car a much cooler induction sound. I honestly dont think there is too much in it if both are set up well, but there is a sound difference.

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
