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..

anyone any ideas?? would be greatly appreciated.

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

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂
