I am trying to get a R33 blue slipped. Currently has a pod on it and mechanic tells me I need to get a standard air box. Can anyvbody tell me if a Pod Filter cold air induction box will pass or does it need to be the factory original set up.

You need to track down a standard air box with filter or go and do a drive by noise test and have the car engineered.

I'd just find a standard air box. :O Check the ads on here as there is always someone wrecking a R33 or call Just Jap in Sydney, I found them very helpful.

Hey thanks guys appreciate it. I'll try to get a standard air intake. Had a bloke try to rip me off last night over one. He said I could borrow one provided I would give him $350.00 deposit and he would return $310.00 when I bought it back trouble was he wouldn't give me a reciept or anything for the money.

Beware of Ron May from Beresfield.

Seems a bit dodgy to me

Make a box yourself, if you need ill make you a template, where do you live, if you need a hand PM me and we might be able to work something out.

I charge by time, for every 15 minutes I charge 1 can of Jim Beam.

My charge to make a template is 1 x can of Jim Beam.

Also delete the name, that is a NO NO, never name someone as that is bad ju ju, if someone wants to know about someone else PM them the info, otherwise it is called slander

Hey mate, you can get it blue sliped, cover the pod with one from just jap or make one yourself, bring it down to my work and see if my boss will pass it. PM me for adress. I just got my 33 done off him so ill try asking him 4 you. Make sure the rest of the car is sweet, ie tyres lights ect. Cheers, BTW it will set you back $110 for the blue slip for the imported vehicle, you will also need a copy of the customer infromation slip. Which has all your specs for the car, you should have been given this paperwork from either the dealer or owner depending on where oyu got it. Without these you wont be able to get a blue slip.

Peeps, I think we should have a standard set of everything which members can borrow. I had a standard AIR BOX and I gave it away for free to clean my garage.....(silly me!). We most of people replace those in upgrades and give them away cheap. Once you have the blue slip you put back your pod.... I am sure of that!

      I guess you can guess the reaction when I said maybe I should cut my losses with her.  I didn't but sometimes you know, I might think that... On a more positive note. At least R33's are worth something now, so it's not a total loss.

      Agree about euros.  Pulling apart is so much quicker than putting back together. Made worse when it's been a while and you can't remember everything. Any modified part seems to always be a pain to reinstall too and complicates things. There's not too many mods on my car but those that are caused difficulties. Simple things like the radiator that should just drop in, needed some finesse and additional time to manoeuvre in, same with oil cooler plumbing, head drain etc. Simple things seemed to want to fight me the whole way. Stupid standard intake plenum didn't help either. After nearly finishing everything, I saw the 2 knock sensor plugs and cold start valve plug hanging there. Was able to contort my hand enough and looking at an internet pic of valve, was able to just get the plug on and seated. Front knock sensor was similar, the rear however I can't even see. Going to have to remove starter motor to create access. FML. I've consumed that many cans of V in the last few work sessions that I should get a sponsorship. edit, I did the same with the mic and bore gauges. Spent many hours, it's one of those things that you get better at and more confident the more you use them. There was also so many hours spent searching, just to try and source valves and valve guides. I think I spent more time on trying to source valve guides than actually measuring and assembling the motor.

      For me a few things compounded the issue.  - Wanting to learn a few aspects, such as hand lapping valve seats (10hrs-20hrs) - Wanting to balance the rotating assembly down to 1g on cast parts, (15hrs easy) - Not knowing this wack FWD platform, 10hrs to remove to remove the subframe/engine etc - Having never used mic or bore guages etc, thinking I was doing it wrong, finding out 2 rods were oval and I was correct (10hrs easy).  And the list goes on, each shed session was 60-90mins so it takes a lot of them On the contrary, when I sold the CA/Box/ECU it was 3hrs to remove, split, put on a pallet solo having never done it before.  This is the reason that the XR5 will get sold and I will go back to a JDM daily. Euro stuff is painful to work on.
