About a month ago purchased a k&n pod filter for my r33 gtst...recently it seems to be loosing it colour....some of the corner are going white...i have the recharge kit and have noticed that the oil that you treat the filter after you wash it, is red..

Since i only purchased the filter a month ago or so, would the colour of just faded away abit from the engine temps if so i assume that the oil is still in the filter element only the colour has faded away..??

1. disconnect your AFM from the pipe that leads to the turbo

2. unbolt the airbox (if its still there) so that the piece conneted to the AFM is loose

the afm and half the airbox should come out together

3. get some break caliper cleaner/ electrical contact cleaner from supercheap auto

4. hold the AFM upright and spray in small bursts into the AFM onto the element which you should be able to see. don't use too much - keep it for next time

5. let it dry (should not be long) and reverse the order you did to take it out to get it back in

your AFM is clean! now all you have to do is reset the ECU and your right as rain! (Sometimes the reset helps more accurate calculations)

      1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)

      Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!

      Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.

      Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
