R33 Gts-25T Pod Filter

[MrFijiGold]

Hey guys,

My car currently is running an exposed pod filter and I have just got hold of an original airbox . I was thinking of running a K&N pod filter (Im open to suggestions as to the type of filter). I just wanted to know what size pod filter would best sit in the original airbox? What is the diameter of the filter used? Anyone running this kind of setup?

Any advise/suggestions are much appreciated.

If you are going to be using the original box, then K&N make a replacement panel filter. Seems pointless using a pod and fitting it inside the original factory airbox.

yeah just stick with the panel filter in the stock box. at the end of the day, a pod in the stock box won't flow any better than a panel filter.

Thanks guys, I tried installing the stock airbox, but the snorkel of the airbox fouls with the intercooler piping. Suggestions?

[mad082]

there isn't really much of a solution to that, other than getting an aftermarket pod filter heat shield to use instead of the airbox

[StevenCJR31]

is it fouling badly or can the ic piping be moved slightly?

I didnt find the DIY thread, but this guy did this:

cut a section out from underneath to clear it, and plastic welded it back together. I cant see it being overly difficult. Just take some time.

Thanks for all the suggestions Guys. All I am after is not to be defected by the coppers. I will look at modifying the airbox or if its cheaper - get a custom one made.

Cheers.

I had the same issue, I just cut the snorkel to clear, wrapped chicken wire around to form a skeleton and taped it all up, took about 5 mins, I check the condition periodically, all holding together well.
