I feel like a real lamo posting a thread on a site about skylines when i have a pintara, anyoo..

Does anyone know how to remove the airbox and replace it with a pod filter on a pintara? its 1986, 2ltr fuel injected 4 cylinder. It has some weird thingy on the airbox that has a little flap in it and this big meaty electrical doohicky on the bottom, it seems to be connected to the ignition, i assume it modifies the mixture to make the engine run good. WHen you piss it off, the engine splutters and carries on. Anyone got any ideas???

Cheers

That wierd thingy joined to the airbox with the flap is your air flow meter. This is very important DO NOT REMOVE IT

you need to get a pod airfilter, and also an adapter that bolts on the air flow meter where it used to bolt up to the standard air box. You then mount the pod on the adaptor.

hope that helps....

ps you should be able to buy adaptors for the pod filter from most places like motormate, supercheap auto, autobarn etc. they even sell blank ones where you drill the holes yourself.

This pic may or may not help you.......

It's on an RB30, but it should give you an idea of what it should look like when you're done (without the purple bits!:D;) )

If you go to Autobarn (or similar) and tell them what you need, they should be able to help you out with all the parts.

Sweet! thanks heaps for the help, i wasnt sure if i was supposed to try and remove the flow regulator or not. I think ill make an adaptor out of fibre glass or something, i got plenty of that around. This is just a temorary measure untill i stick an rb20det into the thing

Cheers

      @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.

      I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.

      Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
