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.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
