I've heard Apexi panels are good. But you're probably better off getting a pod and sealing it while feeding it with a CAI pipe from the front of your car. Will make it much better - power wise and you should get better power economy too. Oh and its all legal! :)

Cut your airbox and run some CAI piping to it with a KnN hi flow panel filter, will do the trick very well :(

A pod filter with CAI and heat shielding may be slightly better but not noticeably and will cost you alot more than using your existing box and some home modifyin

Where are you getting an Apexi Panel Filter for $100.00 ??

Interested as I'm going away from a pod and back to the box.

Pods are defectable because they're modified equipment.

Their legality has nothing to do with being boxed.

It just needs to be engineered.

i know im going to get in trouble for this, but ive been wondering for a while....

why not just use the $29 ones from super cheap auto (they look exactly the same, even on close inspection!!)?? (ducks in readyness)

Or a $12.50 original Nissan one...

Hey guys, I'm also wondrin wat i shud do wit me air intake... was originally thinking of just stickin a K&N pod on the end, but am now feeding that wit some cai piping from the front. wud be grately for any pics ppl hav of their setups, or comments.

also, with some of the reading i've been doin, ppl suggest that just getn a good panel filter and puttin it in the stock airbox is good?

    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
