Hi guys,

When I heard Apexi were going under I panicked and ordered some Apexi power intake kits. I wanted some spare pods for my GTRs which run them.

I bought 4 of the universal kits. These come with 2 gaskets so if you are using them as new filters for your GTR kit you have both the pod-adapter gasket and the adapter-AFM gasket. But you can also use them on GTST, GTT etc as they can bolt straight to the AFM. The kit also comes with 4 new bolts. it doesn't come with the bracket to secure the pod though.

I'm keeping 2 as spares for me, and selling 2 as I don't need that many spares! I'm asking $80 each filter. Pick-up from me in sydney, or post wherever (at your cost).

i dunno. I mean they are supposed to be replaceable, but you can probably clean them once or twice first. maybe once every couple of year? of course if they are visibly deteriorated then change them.

Hmmm...

The most I can say about mine is the buildup of dirt in the crevices of the filters. If I can assertain (spl) whether these should be changed, I'll grab the pair off ya.

best to give them a good clean and see how they come up. take them off, and flush through with warm water (pour it inside, so the flow is going inside of filter to outside of filter). you don't want to be throwing away filters for nothing if they are still good.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then today, I went to visit a man with an r33 hat Peter and Road and Race sorted the alignment. As it is being set up for general track/hillclimbs etc it has a heap of caster (7o), less camber than I am used to (1o front and 2o rear, as the caster looks after that in turns without the braking downsides), 3mm front toe out and 0 toe rear. Will see how that goes and track tyre wear to see if it does need more camber, but adjsustment is also limited with nismo arms and adjustable bushes at only 1 end. It does have a bent inner tie rod on the driver's side front but as it came up within spec I'll just leave that as is. So, that is getting close to my chapter of this story....could of tidy ups then a shakedown in early October before it finds a new home.

      So, it went to Unigroup for a run in and tune on Friday, everything went (generally) well. In terms of fixes, the engine was good and there were no leaks. It needed plugs (I hadn't checked them because the coil pack cover was on a new engine and I couldn't imagine they weren't new.....but turns out the temporary plugs to just keep it sealed up were in there.....new plugs gapped to 0.8 and it was fine from there. Also, there was a little preload on the clutch slave which caused some slip. I haven't had the box off so I don't know what the clutch looks like; my guess it is brand new and the pedal had not been adjusted....backed that off a bit and it held fine. Last thing will have Dose crying....the idle especially when cold is a bit difficult between the cams, forward plenum, atmo blow off valve and an 80s air management system. It is fine when hot but a little uneven when cold, will see if I can sort or at least improve that one cold morning. Other than that, tuning went fine. It made 245 but was pulled back to 227 which 2 opportunities to improve in future. 1. The factory CAS is not great and was jumping around at high RPM, so Mark took 2 degrees out up top (that is why it stops making power and lost 20kw). Very safe this way and the extra power is available but will require a more modern ECU and better cam (or even better crank) sensor 2. The 2871 in factory housings is very big for a low mount, and the internal wastegate is too small, so it was creeping from mid range all the way to redline....the duty cycle on the boost controller is turned down a little for safety. That is much harder to fix, it would need a large external gate and that would require a whole bunch of other changes, so it will go as it is for now. It feels nice and healthy and safe, so should be good for about a billion laps like this.

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      what sort of caliper are they? If they are a slider and you gave everything a good clean, you might need to regrease the pins. My guess though is they will come good after some abuse as suggested above
