Hey guys, need some help.

Got defected by the cops for my Pod Filter.

Need to cover it with the Just Jap box, but in order to do that i need to extend the Pod to the bottom right corner of my engine bay, towards the Water Bottle. 

I need some opinions on how to do so, and have attatched some pics of the engine bay and the actual box i want to get.

Thanks in advanced guys!

Just Jap box is a good option,

however you can build a box with about 40 bucks and 3-4 hours.

Search in the DIY forum. I think someone in the central coast did it...Jim, if i remember correctly, i forget his forum nickname.

Anyway, with summer just arriving, put back the stock airbox with a high flow panel filter. Pods = unresponsiveness in warmer conditions.

UAS sells a fibreglass airbox for pod filters, specifcally for 34s for $190ish.

I so wouldve, but i dont have the stock air box man. It sucks big time seriously.

But yeah, i need to get this up and running asap.

I would make it myself, ive seen the DIY but i just dont have the time at the moment to make it myself. And the Just Jap one looks heaps neat :P

Maybe use a metal elbow pipe.

That seems to be fairly close to where you need it to be, if you can get an elbow the right length then it should be sweet.

Something like this (provided it's the same diameter) might help you extend, and it still retains flexibility to get it exactly where you need. Might need a bit of modding to get it right.

If you used a black elbow like that, combined with a black pod enclosure, it should look fairly standard and won't stand out too much next time a cop takes a look.

Cheers for that but i cant see any of those pics, and the second link doesnt work for me.

Walked into Autobarn last night, they had these plastic and metal pipes and elbow's aswell.

But the thing is, i just need to know what do i do with the additional pipes that come off the stock intake pipe? because if i extend it, when will i do it from?

Just remove that square box that connects to the intake, and replace that with the elbow. Keep the piping with the AFM and all.

The first image is in the interesting pod filter setup thread.

Metal screams out modified intake. black piping going into a box looks more standard.

If you're getting pulled up a lot by cops I'd go the latter. It sucks having to do things like this to prevent unwanted attention but sometimes it's better than the inconvenience of defects etc... :P

      Not too sure just yet, want to have a go at doing what I can myself, but to start with want someone to cast their eye over it tell me what needs doing to get it running and back on the road, so anyone with great overall knowledge would be ideal.

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I personally would go with cutting out the rubber. Then deal with getting sleeve off separately. Rubber can be painful to cut, it loves to jam up cutting tools. I normally have success with drill bits, deburr bits, angle grinders, jigsaw, reciprocating saw, and never forget... fire. Obviously different tools won't work in all locations you're trying to work with, and you need to be comfortable with each. You personally may be happy slowly slicing it out with a razor blade, if you are, go for it with one too! Feel free to wait for others to weigh in also on their thoughts.

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      By DatsunBanana · Posted

      So ... I got everything disconnected and started dropping the frame. Three of the four mounts started to come down but the fourth one (the one with the nut that gave me all the trouble) won't budge. The inner metal sleeve stays up tight against the chassis rail although the outer part of the mount drops a bit (and can be levered quite a lot more) but it's just stretching the rubber bushing. So I reckon there's some serious corrosion inside the inner sleeve and holding it tight to the lug at the top of the bolt. Tried everything I can think of so far: penetrating oil, whacking the top of the sleeve to vibrate it and wedge a screwdriver blade in there. I also tried to turn the inner sleeve a bit by hitting it with a chisel at the bottom. It's stuck solid. What do you think about cutting the rubber with a blade so I can drop the subframe around it anyway. Then worry about getting the inner sleeve off after? Will that work? Is it gonna give me even more problems?

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By hypergear · Posted

      Steam valve seals are usually responsible for cold start smoke, it goes away once engine warmed up. Disconnect it let engine breathers and let it breath freely, see if problem goes away after a short drive. Also check to make sure engine oil drain pipe is not blocked or kinked.

      Haha thanks! Yea I'm moving over from 2x 1000cc jets pre throttle over to 6x 190cc direct port jets and 1x 500cc pre throttle jet.  Direct port comes with all the advantages you would expect, except that pre throttle does cool down IAT'S more. That's why my direct port nozzle placement is closest to the plenum as possible in the runners to allow the air more time to cool before being sucked in. I'm also putting that one 500cc pre throttle jet to help with more cooling. It's a hybrid system. There's a lot more advantages to moving over to a PWM solenoid with a constant pressure system vs my old PWM pump setup, but I'll get more into that once I'm done converting everything over. The ricer in me is excited to see SS tubing all over my manifold though!
