hey all i got pulled over today (wasnt a suprise red p plater) i bought my car with an apexi pod filter already on it from a import dealer, i put a cold air box over it but the cop could see the pod and said that may be defectable..

my question is with the box in the pictures below is it worth a defect??

and the hole where you can see the pod what is suppose to be there?? my freind said fuel surge tank but i dont know..

Hmm, a surge tank is more commonly found in the boot, so unlikely. As for the hole, im not sure, I would probably just bend up a scrap piece of aluminium, paint it black and bolt her on from under the hole (might look a bit less dodgy), and all of a sudden you will find yourself with an uncle named bob'.

wsa already planning to do that i just didnt know how i was going to do it..

im not to worried that what ever it is is not there because if it was important the car would of had major problems by now

what goes there is the charcoal canister - that's an emissions thing. Some gay compliance peoplpe, like xxx went cheap and bought these gay aftermarket charcoal cans. these f**kig big mofos are the size of a paint tin.

they hacked up my car by drillign holes into the strsut tower near the dip stick, and put that f**king big mofo there.

the stock one is where the pod sits.

yeh the part missing is a black cannister that sits there and it collects fuel vapors i think, alot of people have taken them off and no problems. a hose runs from the manifold down to the cannister usually. if u dont have a cannister the hose from the maniifold should be blocked off.

yes its the charcoal canister position, and when its missing its a defect, the pod is not fully enclosed so it too is a defect, but yeah a bit of metal will fix that. if you dont understand the concept of "fully enclosed", look at the stock airbox. u cant see the filter and its fed from outside the engine bay= fully enclosed

time to go back to the people i bought it from then if the car has defects how did it pass compliance

    • 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.
