the attached image is of my pod filter.

I want to move it more to the left, so it's easier to make a cold air box for it. I tried to do it the other day but it was near impossible as the filter is too close to the intercooler pipes. How does one extend the intake pipe? I've seen it before with other people...

What's the cannister to the right of the pod filter?

Looks like your pod is attached directly to the AFM. You'll proly need an adapter pipe of some sorts. I have a GReddy (dunno if it's genuine tho) adapter that mounts the pod abouts where your intake duct is sitting now from (what remains of) the stock airbox. I can take a picture of it if you like, but am at work atm so I'll have to do it later. You'll proly not want the pipe to be as long as mine tho...

Hey, OT but could you do me a big favour? Could you take a picture of where the front of the intake duct goes into? I've never seen it before (got my 32 with a pod already installed), and I have the stock airbox and I'm not sure where the start of the intake duct is suppose to go (I'll proly put the stock airbox on when summer comes around).

The intake goes underneath the headlight, but it's a hopeless position really as it has poor air flow behind the front bar and other misc stuff.

rayage - here's some I prepared earlier...or did you mean the airbox intake under the headlight.

MM2death - thanks mate...I think mine's leaking as the pipes coming from it have some liquidy substance coming from it :devil:

Yeah might be a good idea to check your level and check the sealing on the screw cap.

You have a FMIC correct? That's the problem when your FMIC kit reverts back to the standard piping as with mine the piping from the outlet of the intercooler comes up the driver side and across the radiator fan. I've freed up one of the standard holes now and use it for CAI.

As for your problem, you might have to put in an extension piece from the AFM to where you want your pod to go or even do away with the whole rubber inlet pipe and fabricate something. Theres certainly not much room around the area.

Here's a couple pictures...

Cool thanks. I was kinda concerned whether I got all the necessary parts to the stock airbox when I got the car. I know the 33s have a plastic intake adapter thingy mounted to the top of the left headlight, but I couldn't see anything similar on my 32.

Yea I was referring to the airbox intake under the headlight. I wasn't sure where the intake duct (into airbox) actually went. :confused:

Usually when the airbox is removed and replaced with an pod filter, a plastic duct is left bolted in place underneath the headlight. In addition to that, there should be an additional plastic snorkel that connects from the duct under the headlight to the actual airbox itself.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

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

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
