Hi guys, recently put my apexi air intake air filter on my car

i have noticed when im in 5th gear on 100, if i slowly put my foot down and creep into positive boost

it starts to hesitate, and jurks the car a bit, But if i put my foot down quicker, drives normal

im thinkin, its cold, and by slowly puttin my foot down at 2800rpm ( what it sits at 100)

the computer only wants a certain amount of air to flow in, and being tuned with the k&n panel filter

The pod filter is suckin more air then required, and feels like the car is choking.

But if i stomp it, it goes, no jurkin, goes great, probably because theres sufficient air getting through, and maybe not enough, who knows.

Probably the only solution is to wait till i get into put my other gear on and see what happens then.

And one option i am goin to try is to lower the psi from 12 to 8 and see if it still does it, and maybe even 6psi.

Has anyone had this problem before, or know what im talkin about.

Any help appreciated, But last resort is just goin to wait for tune

do a search on rich and retard, you are encountering excess airflow protection it sounds like.

learn to read. he said that it does it when he puts his foot down slowly, but doesn't do it if he stomps the gas. if it was r&r it would do it when he stomps it, but not when he slowly puts his foot down.

what other mods do you have? how old are your plugs? have you checked/taped up the coil packs?

i have a similar problem, but it only started doing it when i put my remapped ecu in. haven't really tried to fix it, but i know this new ecu dumps a lot more fuel in than the old 1.

I have

Power fc

AVCR

FMIC

Hiflow plain bearing turbo set on 12psi

Ces Racing split front/dump

Walbro fuel pump

Apexi power intake

3" exhaust

hiflow cat

Plugs are probably close to 4 months old

Standard coils, havent checked them at all

well you can definately disreguard what paulr33 said about r&r (thats just his answer to everything).

with your plugs being 4 months old, how many k's have they done, and what type are they (copper or irridium)?

it could be to do with the timing, or the low load fuel map.

as i said, since i put in my remapped ecu, if i just sit in neutral and hold the revs at about 1300rpm mine will pop and miss a little bit, but once i get into it its fine.

Rolling the power on vs stomping on it will have the ecu running through a slightly different area of the map, or passing through a poorly mapped area of the map quickly rather than slowly so not showing up.

If it was a load related miss due to plugs or coils i would expect it when you floor it rather than roll the power on so it's probably just a rich (or lean) bit of the map

I'd say a touch up of your tune is in order

i reckon i might of done bit over 7000kms??

they are irridiums

But yeah, looking at it, from only doing this since i put on my pod filter

might just need a touch up

and will be putting in 555cc injectors z32 afm and fuel reg within the next couple of months

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
