Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone can tell me, have searched and seen pics, but can't be too sure. The Apexi Super Suction D-Jetro obviously removes the AFM's from the equation, does it basically replace piping (stock rubber ones etc) from the Air Filters ALL the way to the turbos?

And does it comes with brackets to hold the pod filters in place etc?

Also! While I have your attention. I am looking for hard pipes (I think might be HKS) that replace the "Twin Turbo" Pipe. There is nothing wrong with the stock pipe, it just sits too high on the RB30 and can't put the strut brace on.. so looking for something that sits lower.. have seen pics, but searched and searched and can't seem to find it. (probably can't fit this AND the Apexi setup I'll bet)

Its either this, or fab it from ground up I guess..

you might be able to use the ztune style hard pipe kit

its on www.nengun.com and i think the super suction kit or power intake includes the afms, the pipes and brakets etc

its a complete kit - around $500 ish for the djetro version? nengun has it as well

Well I ordered myself the Apexi Super Suction Kit (D-Jetro) and it has been held up, but a mate has had his arrive and unfortunately it does NOT replace the large rubber convoluted tube (with the big spring inside it) that goes to the rear turbo.. :)

So I now have every hard pipe except for this one.. Looks like the HKS Premium Suction kit does have it, but it is only listed for R33 and R34 GT-R's , here is a picture of it just below the Twin Turbo Pipe...

Does anyone know if these kits will also fit an R32 GT-R - or does anyone know what alternatives there are for replacing this pipe other than getting one custom made? HKS kit is about $500... which sucks (no pun) if I only really need this one pipe...

This isn't $200/hour Japland :)

My advice is, unless you REALLY want a name brand part, to have it fab'd by someone experienced.

Pre-made stuff certainly has its place, but it just might be too much of a nightmare with your 3L setup.

Get a piece of ally plate PC milled with what ever you would like on it "Matt Hat Performance" or somthang, tacked where the "Twin Turbo" usually is.

intercooler pipe ftw

umm.. okkk.... (?)

As a possibility, maybe get kermit to make you up one? Thread in wa section.

Ah, good man, thanks for that - I found the thread and this looks like a good avenue!

Yep I definitely don't require a name badge on there. Only mentioning these things because sometimes these tricky bends and tight spots can be a lot of dicking around - which equals time.. which translates to money.. so in some cases the off the shelf HKS part is actually good value. All comes down the the fabricator of course, Kermit sounds like a good guy to meet though.

Hmm... Matt Hat Performance eh....? You sure people won't laugh...? :P

Cheers for the replies guys - I'll add pics of the result when I get there.

Ok well the kit has arrived, so thought I would take a photo of its contents as I would have liked to have seen what was in it before I bought it, so maybe this will help out anyone thinking of buying this kit..

Note the bigger bendy pipe goes all the way to the front turbo, the shorter pipe only goes to the large black convoluted factory tube - which then goes to the Turbo.. (I was hoping the kit replaced this too..)

Also in the kit are Silicon tube, hose clamps and brackets which secure the pod filters so they can't move around.

Note also this is the D-Jetro version, so it is designed to completed do away with the AFM's.

Hope this info is helpful.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?

      Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
