The apexi's aren't as loud as some of the other brands. Everyone has them, so i'd assume they're the most popular choice. I have a DRIFT filter on mine, it flows at pretty much the same rate as the apexi's and is quite a bit louder (main reason i got it was coz its a tight blue colour, goes with intercooler joints and my yellow paint) Apexi ones would probably filter dust and crap better though.. Still $30 for a DRIFT one $150 for a apexi one.. and your probably gona lose power over stock box, idk just some stuff to consider

Flutter sounds good on some cars not all... some cars sound absolutly f*king annoying! My friends s15 has a big ass apexi gtr intercooler i cant remember how thick the core is but i think its like 110mm? correct me if i'm wrong bout the cooler but it sounds awesome.

The quick flutter noise (like alot of skylines i've heard) and a few s15's s14's i've heard and 180's sound SHIT with the quickets tutututut you'll ever hear and then a pop after the gear change lol cos of the added richness which makes u just wana kick the owner in the teeth... besides they wanted to attention didn't they?

But flutter on standard skyline ceramic turbo = no go zone unless your looking for an excuse for a bigger turbo. :(

Then why didn't mine come with one from factory? (hr31 coupe)

1989 cefiro RB20DET NO BOV

1989 R32 skyline RB20DET HAS BOV

WHY OH WHY?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Because the cefiro uses the redtop motor with a different rocker cover, and back then they didn't come with a bov from factory.

BOV, from the factory, is only there to keep the emissions gods happy

Cefiro, as pointed out, started production earlier than R32, so different emissions rules when it was designed

That's also why the Ceffy RB20 has bigger cams than the R32 RB20

For maximum 'dose' noise, use a hardpipe between the inducer and the afm, also, the bigger the cooler, the louder it will be

Apexi pods can be bought for $98 delivered from CJ Motor (a nissansilvia.com sponsor), straight bolt on for RB20/25 and Z32 AFM.

I have seen an independant review between apexi, blitz sus, hks mushroom and K&N - apexi had best flow and much better filtering than the others. Well worth the money

Yeah Ive read that review aswell and i think it was covered on ns.com too im also a memember on ns.com ATTN gettin the filter off CJ

Heres a pod filter test if it helps anyone. i dont know if you have already seen this.

i also had the same problem with some one telling me the wastegate makes a fluttering noise. it was like talking to a god dam retard.

Tom9999, that's the one, I expecially like it because it doesnt appear to have any affiliation with a particular manufacturer (or advertiser), and they test REAL power gains, as well as filtration.

Nor sure about centre lines, but bigger lift and longer duration. I saw it on a japanese website that had a comparison of nissan engines' cams over several models...

The ceffy runs bigger cams?? >_<

Just different centerlines or increased duration/lift also?

Redtop cam profiling is a bit more aggressive than silvertop. Slightly more duration and lift i think(not sure if it's exhaust side only *shrugs*). The figures are somewhere here on the forums in a thread, just can't remember how old :laugh:

aaanyway. If you want a decent fix, give me your BOV flange, i'll butcher the shit out of it with a welder, and charge you an arm and a leg for it >_< no need to worry about aluminium can bits if you are really that concerned.

Seriously. Just go to an exhaust shop, tell them you want them removed, and sell the thing/things.

I have on hand the redtop cam specs but aren't the Ceffy's silver tops?

R31's were redtops? >_<

yup, import 31's were redtops. Cefiro's are silver tops.

The red top came in two versions, NICS and later model ECCS.

This is where its interetsing, the cefiros were infact redtops with a silver coloured top. The internals, turbo, ecu are all redtop ECCS spec.

    • The SS button head cap screw on the back? If so, good to know. I presumed it was there for basic assembly and nothing more. 
    • Hello, everyone. I'm new to the forum. I have a 1989 Nissan Skyline R32 GTR. I have lost all power to the interior, including AC controls, the gauge cluster, turn signals, and windows. Stuff that still works includes the horn, brake lights, radio, and headlights. All fuses, in the interior and exterior boxes, tested good.  It starts and runs fine, just with no gauge power or anything stated above. No warning lights either. Things that I have tested: - Fusable link tested fine - No other fuses blown - Alternator good - IGN switch tested fine - With my power probe, I can backfeed power through the IGN pin to the plug on the back of the gauge cluster, and everything comes back on.    So my theory is something on the control side that sends the ignition power through the system isn't doing its job, or a wire is broken. (I would think that it is the ignition switch that would do that, but who knows?). The ignition relays don't fire (all relays tested good). So what tells them to fire other than the IGN switch?  I would really appreciate it if someone had some insight on this. I have tons of hours into this; I don't want to give up in defeat! I have the HD wiring diagram, but having all those wires laid out like that on one sheet of paper makes things pretty hard to follow.  Thanks for reading, and thanks for the replies.  Where should I look next? Thanks.
    • Install a MAP sensor pre and post throttle. Best data you could have for NA, then play with the bends and/or air box and see how much of inflection is created at WOT on the plot.

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
