Hey All,

Well ive finally decide to sell my little Black R32 Gts-t, but 2 months ago i forgot that i was defected for my Pod, next comes a letter in the mail....

"Notice of registration Cancellation" !!! over a ****ing pod that leaks a little bit of gas ??....

Now, the plot thickens, prior to this defect i have thrown a HKS front mount intercooler in the bay, and in order to clear my defect i had to put the standard airbox on, and just as things couldnt get any worse .... It didnt fit because of the piping... now i know alot of you will say .. "just make up a custom box" but i gonna take guess here that .... It needs to be engineered ? and the plot thickens again, theres no engineers for 2 hours were i live ... Great.

One more question, can i take off the piping on the FMIC thats in the way temporarly, put the standard box on and take it to get cleared or will the car **** up ?

So i should do what exactly ?

Please tell me that at least 1 person has been through this or similar ....

Cheers all !

Mitch

I met a whole buncha bastards who wouldn't sign off on my defect unless it was back to the original airbox.

Liek yu0 kn0... get farked...

Not after a spent the money on a new pod and fiberglass box.

Unfortunately most places who can clear defects won't jeopardise their license for only $16.50...

T.

Well, i just had an idea to cut away a bit of the airbox so it bypasses the piping... so im going to do that 2morrow....

BTW. Are the RTA leanient with defects that lead to rego cancellations ? will that let me just reactivate the rego for a small fee ?

Cheers all and thanks for the replys

Just cover the pod with a box and go to your local blue slip garage and get them to check it. It took me longer to pop the bonnet lever and raise the bonnet than it took for them to inspect everything.

To be honest their is nothing illegal about a 'pod filter' but lets not get into that again...

:D

I had one and got defected. I went to a place near me, sat the box in dodgily and just swapped it over when I left again. he was cool about it because he checked it with the standard box, didn't he? if I put it on again after he leaves it isn't his problem

I now have a standard box with K & N panel filter. I also have a HKS FMIC, but the piping fits perfectly with the box, is yours a proper kit??

why you stressing for about the pod and rta, trust me you dont have to think about them, i get those leters all the time about defects and cancelation of rego, then licence if you dont fix it, but if your in sydney message me i have someone who will clear your defects and you dont even have to change anything.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
