One used Apexi Power Intake pod filter in good condition. This was removed from my R33 GTS-T, but will fit just about any vehicle using the right adaptor. It comes with a 3"/76mm adaptor and bolts, which will suit a lot of turbo Jap cars. Awesome induction sound; it made my turbo very audible and the factory BOV sound like an ATMO. The filter is red in colour (hard to see in photo) and is cleanable/washable. I used to just give it a once over with compressed air whenever I did an oil change and it would come up like new.

I swapped this out for an airbox because I installed a front mount intercooler. Living in a notoriously defectable area of Melbourne, I am a law abiding citizen who wholeheartedly respects the EPAs completely logical decision to allow only one intake modification. The Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research recently named pod filters in Melbourne-based Japanese vehicles the #2 cause of carbon emissions pollution, second only to politician's mouths and the paperwork of bureaucratic government organisations.

In selling this pod filter, I have had to consider the ramifications and my moral obligation to society, not unlike the ethical dilemmas that one might face when they become embroiled in drug dealing - I'm not proud of it, but hey, I gotsta get paid.

I might add that it's great to see our tax dollars at work, funding police to enforce these well-thought EPA laws and take young kids with a hobby off the road; making our streets safer for the violent gangs and drunk drivers who have been victimised for far too long. Even better that these criminals have to pay for their own vehicles to be tested - guilty until proven innocent, I say! Perhaps we should adopt this attitude for murder suspects too, who currently enjoy more rights (but rightly so!) within our Australian legal system.

With the hard work of health food ingesting police and their safe driving manouvres during the random vehicle inspection process, these Japcar driving juvenile delinquents will just have to find something much less harmful to spend their hard earned money on, like heroin. With their clean and mechanically sound pride and joys off the road, Average Joe's leaky rust bucket need no longer fear the dangers of sharing roads with well kept and insured vehicles.

You probably shouldn't buy this filter if you have young children and an aftermarket intercooler. The combination can be lethal, not unlike the simultaneous consumption of alcohol and drugs. Fact is, pod filters in conjunction with aftermarket (but not standard) intercoolers are the number one cause of death to children under 5, closely followed by SIDS and too many handbrake clicks. Government legislation has been proposed for the packaging of pod filters, making it mandatory that every filter come with a health warning and grotesque pictures of modified Hyundai Excels on the box, making consumers all too aware of the health risks. If you are comfortable burdening your conscience with the above, then proceed with purchase and may God have mercy on your soul.

    • Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.
    • So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?
    • Ooo I might actually come and bring the kids, however will leave the shit box home and take the daily
    • Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!
    • That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
