Heya :)

Im looking at buying a new pod filter for my R34 RB25DET Neo. Last owner had a DRiFT one in there. 

I want to get the APEXi Power Intake pod filter but I've heard there's alot of fake ones out there on the market (ebay).

So I want to make sure that I'm buying the official one and not the fake one. 

I saw some ones on ebay from china, philippines for like less than $40, so that to me sounds like fake.

There is this one on ebay for $84 from Aus:

Does this one look legit? :huh:

I'd personally would never buy from Ebay for my car - why not spend $30 more and get one that you know is legitimate?

Have you shopped for Apexi Power Intakes from this site before? Just want to make sure they are legit

I also saw this from Apexi USA:

http://www.apexi-usa.com/store/index.php/induction/power-intake/power-intake-kit/power-intake-kit-1989-1994-nissan-skyline-hcr32.html (will this fit on my R34?)

But the gasket in that pic looks just like the fake one that Dobz posted about. The shape of it :blink:

Im confused haha I just want to buy a legitimate one for the cheapest price :7_sweat_smile:

I used to have a geniune apexi pod, wasnt cheap. Eventually decided to buy another and it was fake. Does the same shit, literally next to no difference in quality. Had no issues making more power (after other mods). I now run a cheap n nasty pod that people have had solid results with.

Standard Apexi Pod to suit R34 GT-T RB25DET Neo

This looks promising! Surely JustJap won't sell phony stuff will they?

 

Also, one could just bolt the apexi pod filter straight onto the factory MAF (with the gasket ofcourse), right?

:UPDATE:

I got my Apexi Power Intake from Justjap today.

I compared it with this fake/genuine article:

http://www.zerotohundred.com/newforums/showthread.php?t=349923

Then compared it with this video:

Mine looks like the genuine one in the video. But the brass screw genuine design on that other article looks different to mine and the video's genuine intake. weird... and mine is 75mm ID :blink: ? Anyway check for your selfs

PODs IMO would be one of the last things things to have major problems when using fake/cheap ones...

I'm currently running some $20 ebay POD in mine right now, I reused the gaskets from my Apexi one (and cleaned it with filter cleaner for use later on when this one gets dirty).

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
