OK, You have a rubber tube, coming off your turbo. That tube is connected to your Nissan AIR FLOW METER (AFM). This AIR FLOW METER is what your K&N Pod is connected to. Without the AFM your car will not run properly. To change your pod over, disconnect the hose clamp at the Pod filter end of the AFM and then take off your pod. Then fit the new Pod where the last one was.

An Apexi Power Intake filter is just a filter and "Power Intake" is nothing but a name and does not describe the function of the filter. It doesnt use power to run and you don't get an AFM with any Pod filter.

Keep your K&N filter, It is good for a long time and the difference you will see with an Apexi is nothing you will feel on the throttle.

There is alot of guides and faq's and explanations on this site, the SEARCH button is ultra-handy.

ARGH! you are not listening to me. read my post again.

REMOVE THE AIRFLOW METER FROM YOUR NEW (well second hand) FILTER. THROW IT IN THE BIN. UN BOLT YOUR K+N FILTER AND ANY ADAPTER IT MAY HAVE. LEAVE THE AFM WHERE IT IS NOW BOLT YOUR APEXI FILTER DIRECTLY TO YOUR AFM.

honestly if you can't grasp this, please just take it to a mechanic. it is so frustrating. you ask for advice and seem determined to ignore it.

my apexi pod filter came with the air flow meter.

i just change it. means i remove the K&N pod with the stock air flow meter and replace the whole apexi one with the afm air flow meter.

what you bought was an apexi pod with a stock nissan air flow meter attatched. what you have is a K&N pod with a stock nissan air flow meter attatched. its the same unit. why remove something if it aint broke?

separate the apexi and its afm, sell this afm, remove K&N from car (leave the original afm in car), put apexi onto original afm, sell/chuck K&N.

EDIT: just to make this a bit clearer to you dude go check out apexi's website. they sell the power intake and also a super suction kit which is intended to replace your afm but do not include it in the kit. in fact im pretty sure apexi or K&N never made an afm (i may b wrong). therefore you cannot buy a new pod that comes with an afm. you have bought a second hand one that wasnt separated from the afm it was originally bolted to

    • So my rb is finally having more problems. 2 issues here but I'm here to just to mainly discuss the rattle noise. The other day when I turned on the car and when I take off or go in reverse, there is a temporary rattle noise but when I cruise, boost, idle it's completely fine no rattle whatsoever. I've also done all the servicing, all the health checks you can think of and it all passes with flying colours.  Also the rattle doesn't increase with rpm, it's only at a very certain rpm (slightly above 1,100rpm). My other car also has the same issue every once in a while. Changed the oil recently, no difference. Even took my oil to a lab and everything was quite good surprisingly. Timing belt changed a while ago to. Had the car on the hoist and can't see anything obvious. Tightened a couple of nuts on the exhaust manifold a couple of months ago. 2 different clips uploaded. One of them was supposed to another issue but I'll save that for another time. Thought I'd see if anyone had this same noise before, it's a bit hard to diagnose while it's intermittent. If I'm not mistaken, I think I had this a while back but can't remember exactly. I was thinking if it's doable I'll get someone to hold the throttle cable at 1,100rpm and hopefully it replicates the sound. rb25det rattle only.mp4 rb25det slow start + rattle.mp4
    • Haha wow, yes they do! Will sort tomorrow.
    • Yeah I’ll know when I take it for a test drive and I’ll double check the turbos as well when I have a look at it again.  Just thought maybe they might have done something in the head cause it looks like they’ve taken off the rocker covers 🤔 Thanks for your info! 
    • As Duncan mentioned it's likely a remapped ECU, like the the one listed in the link I post earlier:  https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/444260/car/444612/2099320/parts.aspx He quoted 444PS with an unopened engine and twin GT2510s @ 1.1bar boost... sounds about right?
