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.

    • Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...
    • Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.
    • Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents
    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
    • One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
