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.

    • Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks 
    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
