Hi all,

Yesterday I installed an Apexi Power Intake into my R33 GTR. They replaced the dodgy wire mesh type fake alloy pods that were in it when I bought it.

I have noticed though that now the responsiveness has been diminished somewhat. I am assuming that this is because the airflow is more restricted with the Apexi (proper) pod filters rather than just wire mesh.

My car was slightly tuned when we lived in Perth, basically adjusted the timing slightly and removed the boost restrictor.

I am thinking I need to have it stuck on a dyno and the timing re-adjusted to suit the new intake system.

Can anyone give me an idea of the cost in Canberra to have someone do this? And any suggestions on where to take it would be appreciated. I am aware of Ultimate Tunes, which is 10 minutes up the road from me.

Cheers.

Just jump on the phone and call around.

Everyone will pretty much be willing to beat the other person.

Just get as many quotes as you can

Then go to one of the guys like listed ESP or Trojan and tell them what you were quoted.

See if they can beat that

Little off topic but I did this with my windscreen and saved myself $150 + got a new seal

Thats still true. How hard can it be to set up a dyno?

I've never asked them but given the size of their workshop maybe it's got to do with the lack of room? Although that then makes you wonder why they have it in the first place.

they just need to park a few more skylines outside to make room lol

I'll wanna dyno tune my can when put in the electronic boost control to get the settings just right too.... Need to call round and see what i can get for that....

Any one seen and good threads with advise for setting one up? Or any one have much experience at it?? Had no luck searching so far.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
