Have just received my Apexi Power intake kit for my r33 gtr this morning, went to fit it tonight and have had nothing but trouble so far, yes i am following the instructions, yes i have all the brackets in their correct places.

The problem i am having is with the intake pipe for the 1st turbo, if i bolt everything up losely i can not get the end of the afm into the intake pipe for the 1st turbo, i have tried putting the afm into the intake pipe 1st then trying to connect up all the brackets but nothing lines up that way at all, the only way i can get all the brackets to line up is bolt everything on 1st, but then i have the problem of the afm not being able to reach the intake pipe.

Which makes me think maybe i am missing part of the intake pipe for the front turbo, hence the pipe not being long enough causing the afm not being able to connect to the intake.

Ive tried everything to get this on but nothing works, so something has to be missing right? Do i even have the standard intake pipe on my car?

By the way the car was using hks filter kit when i bought it.

Heres some pics, in all the pics all the brackets are lining up and bolted up correctly but the afm for the 1st turbo isnt even sitting inside the intake pipe, am i missing part of the intake pipe?

also double check ur kit is actually for 33GTR:

Apexi Power Intake Pod Filter kit for R32 GTR

Model Number : AP-507-N001

Apexi Power Intake Pod Filter kit for R33-34 GTR

Model Number : AP-507-N011

Yes i have the correct kit, says BCNR33 :(

Hmmm, have just been told by a guy over on gtr.co.uk that apparently the hks filter kits comes with its own rubber intake pipe for the 1st turbo, hence why it is too short and isnt fitting my apexi pods.

Looks like im on the hunt for a new intake pipe.

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
