R33 Pod Filter Fitment Question

Hey all, just bought a 33 gts-t and plan to fit a FMIC this weekend.

To make this fit have had to install a POD filter and just a little concerned with the gap between the AFM and the adaptor ($12 from Supercheap)

It's a genuine K&N filter, there was a rubber gasket that came with the adaptor, on the sides where bolts are closest it seems to seal properly but I am very concerned with the long sides as there is a visible gap between adaptor and the paper seal on the AFM - don't want any unfiltered crap sneaking in.

I'll post a pic as soon as I am using a computer, any help would be much appreciated. For now put stock airbox back on until I can be confident the filter is sealed properly.

just remove it and hammer/sand/grind flat whatever isn't flat.

otherwise have you tried tightening the bolts more? obviously you don't want to crackt he plastic of the AFM but there may be more tension you can put on it...

All tightening the bolts more does is pinch the rubber so we have a big lip of rubber hanging out.

There's a paper gasket on the AFM that was there from stock, I'm going to try straighten out that plastic adaptor and affix the rubber gasket to it then report back.

Seems crappy Supercheap plastic adapters are not all that great

No thats not what i meant.

Ill exagerate for this scenario..... Say you do the right bolt up to 1000Nm and then you do the left bolt up finger tight. The AFM is going to pull crooked (told you I would exagerate)

I didnt mean just tighten the other bolt up more. I was just making sure that they were pulled in evenly

      New Honda prelude at Goodwood

      Well, in the same way that you can't tell any SUV from any manufacturer in any size category from any other one, "sports" coupes now all look identical. Stand back and squint your eyes and the Supra and the 400Z and the GR/BRZ things all look the same. I was just thinking last night, when sitting behind a Subaru CrossTrek, that I have no idea what it is, how it differs from an XV, or a Forester, or an Outback, or anything else Subaru offer, and I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be small, medium or large. I contrasted that to the good old days, where a HQ Kingswood had familial similarities to an LJ Torana, but there is no way that you could confuse them, and how a bit later, the HX Kinger and the concurrent Torana and the Gemini all had familial similarities, but you still could not confuse them. Ditto the ugly Fords and Chryslers of the era. But now, a RAV4 looks like a Kluger, looks like a Yaris/Cross/whatever they're calling those stupid f**king things, looks like every other Toyota that's not a Camry/Corolla sedan.

      The Prelude doesn't look that bad without all that lens distortion in those pics. Makes it look disproportionate when it isn't. Actually I kind of liked it at the Osaka Auto Messe earlier this year.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      Pour in the highest octane, non-ethanol fuel you can get and see if the readout changes. If it's dead bang on 11% then I would question the sensor. Another quick test, just take it out and run normal (in an american accent) gas-o-line through it and see if the sampled ethanol or lack of changes.   United E85 here in the land of drop bears does vary a bit, I've had as high as E87 (could be water in their tanks too, who knows)

      Yep. And if you ever do, you'll just have to deal with it then.

      E10 is pretty tightly regulated in percentage. Too much and engines can't adapt. Every incentive is against them to have too little ethanol though. The more ethanol the higher the octane.
