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.

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
