hi guys,

just wondering if someone can help me identify what a hose does and what i can do with it when i put in a pod filter.

the hose i am talking about is connected to the right hand side of the filter box and apparently connects to some kind of sensor according to one of the guys at autobarn who had a quick look for me.

i will try to get some pictures to help tomorrow or next monday.

I believe I know which one you're talking about. It's a vacuum line.

There's a vacuum assembly towards the back of the engine, two vacuum lines run together past near the power steering reservoir, one of them goes into the airbox, the other one keeps going down to the charcoal canister. The one that goes to the airbox just needs to be tucked away when you remove the box to fit a pod.

Don't block this vacuum line! This vacuum line ultimately connects to the variable air intake control actuator in the intake plenum on RB25DE NEO's. Basically when you look at the intake plenum where the Y piece connects to it, you'll see the rod for the solenoid. Inside the middle of the plenum is a butterfly valve that partially separates the intake into 2 parts. At around 4700RPM this valve in the plenum opens completely. This is to assist with response in the low RPM on the N/A RB25DE NEO Motors. If this vacuum line is blocked, this valve won't function properly and power will be lost. Tucking it out of the way and removing the airbox for fitment of the pod won't effect anything, so long as the vacuum line isn't blocked.

thank you for the reply.

so if i understand correctly as long as i do not block it in anyway i do not have to connect it to anything once i fit the pod?

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!

      http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Second time Skyline owner (R33 GTS-T and now a V36 370GT)

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
