R33 Gtr Airbox Issue Bottom Afm Wont Lineup

[evilGTR]

Hi,

I am ditching the pods to go back to airbox and im having an issue lining up the bottom afm to the airbox is there a trick to it because its like the pipe is too short.

[Count Grantleyish]

Try bolting the AFM's on the box first, then put the airbox in?

[evilGTR]

tried that got no love. i wonder if the person before me made it shorter though i cant see any marks

[Count Grantleyish]

Hmm...

Shorter piping or?

You mean bolting the AFM to the airbox

Or the AFM to the inlet piping ---> turbo?

[evilGTR]

so inlet pipe to afm is fine but it wont reach the airbox so i tried connecting afm to airbox then trying to make it fit to the bottom inlet pipe but wont reach and if it does slighty reach its barely clamps down.

can u tell me if this is the correct inlet pipe or is it missing something the top afm goes in fine but maybe the previous owner changed the bottom one as it had pods on it when purchased.

Dumb question I know - do you have the airbox around the right way?

(gotta ask the question)

[evilGTR]

lol yeh it is the right way just got me stumped as ive never had this drama before on other gtrs so i wondered if the bottom inlet pipe has been either cut or its missing something. the top one goes in no problem just this bottom bugger is giving me the shits!

looks like going to wreckers are looking at the manual the bottom intake pipe doesnt look like that its similar to the top one with the wrinkles.
