Hi, I need help changing my stock air intake to pod. I was in the middle of removing the stock air box. Iv unbolted everything but can't seem to remove the maf from the hose. Iv undone the jubilee clip but it's not budging. Pic has been attached and I will resume once the rain has stopped. Any help is appreciated!

You say you've unbolted everything but in the picture there are still many bolts?

Go forth and remove bolts, this should be a very simple job. 

Do I need to remove the 4 gold bolts circled in red? Everything else is unbolted and iv been trying to remove it via from the hose circled in green if I can free it from there then the whole box and maf will come out. Thanks for the help

They're holding the AFM to the airbox. Seeing as you've loosened the hose clamp, if you want to slip the AFM off the inlet pipe, to make it easier to work on the AFM to airbox on the bench/lap/whatever, then just pulling the AFM out of the hose would be a good start.

Will I have to remove those 4 bolts anyway to connect that side to the hks air intake?

Just remove the bolts. Sounds like you reallly want to!

Yes you will have to remove them to attach the pod, that should be fairly obvious.

then sit back and enjoy the pointless mod you have just implemented.

You seem to be scared of undoing those 4 bolts.

You also seem to have hit a road block.

My advice would be, remove the bolts. You might find it helps. If it doesn't, you'll be surprised that you can do them back up. 

Don't be scared to have a go and try things. If your paranoid, take lots of photos and put the parts/bolts into resealable plastic bags and label them.

Thanks everyone for the advice. I couldn't get to 2 of the bolts as those gold bolts can only be removed from the opposite side. I was scared of applying too much pressure on the hose and tearing it so in the end I decided to get 2 big flat head screw drivers and pry away and it came off easy. After that it was all good and its now on the car. The car sounds amazing can hear the turbo spool up loud like a jet. ???

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
