34's seem to make a ridiculous amount of noise with pods on anyway, mine howled at 40km/h when i had one on; ultimately i swapped it back.

I've noticed that people that are dead serious about getting more air do use a pod; but they extend the hose and bring it right round to the front of the car infront of the radiator. I'd consider doing this; but i'm not sure it's possible without drilling big holes near your headlight and can't find anything relating to us anyway. I would wonder about effect of the filter getting wet out the front too.

Shattered I wasted money on one... Wow it Seems to be an urban myth that people have taken to heart... I've read

tweak guides that promise 10-15 kw boosts and both my uncles that race cars were talking what a difference they make.

Unless being out in the wind under real conditions can somehow make a difference to the test; i would say that myth video

makes 90% of us with modified cars idiots.

At least; it was good to know the stock box does not restrict in any way. Perhaps those asians in white coats

that designed the things sort of knew what they were doing? :unsure:

The airboxes are a good design, you see plenty of powerful cars running stock airboxes..... The only reason i ran a pod and custom airbox was due to the way the piping was routed but i have made it look as stock as possible....

For performance advantages there are better ways ;)

PLUS stock airboxes avoid potential defects too AND have the intake snorkal, but they fetch good coin if you sell them.....

On that note, i have a K&N pod off my 34 i can sell him cheap if he goes down that path, but probably better he doesnt!

Don't take it too bad, in the end it is just an air filter, it's not going to make or break your setup.

Yeah after watching it I was glad I only spent $50 on my pod

Rather then getting an apexi for $130

Still going to talk him into getting a highflow pannel filter.

I am sure they would help at higher power levels

The difference between a cheap pod and an 'expensive' pod isn't the power they make, it's the quality of the filter. As I mentioned above, the things are just air filters. You're not paying x amount for y amount of power. I've seen a few 3A Racing and some other cheap brands literally disintegrate under boost, and when you pull the pod off you can find little pieces of filter element in the intake pipe.

That said, I've seen the same thing happen to HKS pod filters, but they are a rubbish design anyway.

whats he want a pod for? induction noise?

Look at the car there testing it on, stock airboxes are restrictive if your trying to pushing past the factory pipe limits...there vids are pointless, especially the one about "Will BOV's make more power"...f**king retards lol..

But see again its not all about more power, having denser air would also result in less pinging which means its healthier for the engine, Ive noticed my car used to get abit of knock in 2nd gear with just the pod, once I made a enclosure and got a pipe from the bumper to the box theres not as much noticable ping.

Your car must be tuned right on the edge then, surely. I mean the air flow meter is a heat element, it takes temperature into account when it calculates air density, so any heat soak you are getting from the pod shouldn't cause knock, it will just mean less power.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
