Hi everyone!

I am new to the forum, and after years of reading the forums thought i would join and start tackling a few jobs on the car. I have a couple questions that I'm sure someone on here could answer!

I had to replace my MAF sensor, the part arrives in a few days. Just wanted to know if i can just reconnect the new MAF and start driving or if i have to do anything else before or after i can use the car again?

And also. I am currently running a K&N filter (the kind you oil) but have read that this sort of filter can be bad for the MAF so am looking at a HKS mushroom filter. Just wanted to know what dimensions for the filter i will need for it to fit in my car (series 2 R33 GTST). To connect it to the MAF etc.

Thanks guys, much appreciated!

Welcome to SAU dtrants :)

Just put the new maf onto your airbox, plug it in, and start driving.

The maf od is 3" so any 3" pod will fit. But you will need an adaptor. They can be found online or ebay etc.

I used to use a k&n panel filter. I washed it with cold water then let it dry and it was fine for 6 months until I changed my setup. If there are any remnants of oil on the filter and it does make a film over your new maf, get some contact cleaner and spray the maf wire and it should clean it up.

I actually saw one of those filters fail on Facebook the other day. The nut came off and went straight into the turbo. Plenty of people have used them with no dramas, and it was the first time I have ever seen it happen. So up to you.

I just use the cheap ones from supercheap etc.

      Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell

      gtr hood match gt/gtt front fenders?

      By JC71 · Posted

      would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
