Hi all

very frustrated been working on it four 6 hours now i had to disconnect the black cannister near the air con condensor and remove the intercooler piping other than that everything is untouched.

thanks in advance

you see... this is why I carry on about using the stock air box.

look how much time/money you have spent.

How much it's giving you the shits.

and you've gone Backwards in performance in comparison to an exposed pod filter, and even further backwards compared to a stock air box.

there are at least 3 stock airbox with snorkle and panel filter for sale on these forums for an R33 GTST for $50.

If you must keep it, then I'd suggest removing the partition and going for another drive (how many hours to do that?).

if there are no problems high in the rev range, then you know that the partition is causing some sort of problem.

be it not enough air due to no cai (Cold Air Induction) or perhaps it is too tight around the rubber intake pipe that goes from pod to turbo and is actually crimping it a little causing a restriction in air.

perhaps due to no air feed (cai), the rubber pipe between turbo and pod is being sucked closed..

who knows..

so what are you going to do?

spend another x hours to diagnose and possibly fix it but still be left with a system that has no air feed?

or spend less time and $50 to get the stock air box and sort it out properly.

wen i get my car back ill show u out it should be set up properly, you should always stick to the OEM airbox unless you can supply a proper CAI(cold air intake) for your enclosed POD, otherwise its either A) sucking hot air which is useless or B) sucking no air cuz theres no air feed.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
