Thanks guys, I finally got the thing installed after a bit of swearing and staying up 2 nights after work. The fitting is exactly for a R33 but i had to adjust the rubber tubing for it to go on an angle downwards near the turbo instead of upwards as the bloody vacuum pipe stopped the bonnet from shutting. Me being me, closed the bonnet and made a upwards dent in the bonnet. How do I know this was going to happen, I'm not happy as to what i did to the bonnet. However, it has a nice whoosh sound when revving the motor as it sounds great. Vacuums No.1 and 2, I tried with no sound, it just didn't give that WHOOSH sound. It sound like a monster waking up, I love it. For those fitting these BOV's downwards guys and vacuum inlet no.3. Next thing I have to fix the dent, Cars !!!!!.

this is what it looks like

If anyone can help, I've looked at Youtube, the internet and SAU on how to install this type of BOV and i'm not having much luck. I'm confused as to what connects to what. I have 3 outlet, one is at the base of the BOV where you connect straight onto the standard BOV. The 2nd connection is located on the body of the BOV which is near small holes for the exiting air and last connection (3rd) is at the top of the BOV were the nut is located for tightening. I would really appreciate some help in this area.

In relation to imports, I had a look at this site: http://www.tradecarview.com/used_car/japan...?ps=25&so=2, It provides a shipping estimator and Freight courier. I looked at the Skylines, Wrx and Evo's which are resonably priced. I have no experience in this field and would like to know how much hoops do i have to jump to get this vehicle on the road in NSW ie RTA. Would i need engineers certificates or what ever cerificates ??????. Some nice Imports in Japan, what are your thoughts.

Cheers problem solved, I'm only learning.

Everyone who helped, I had another look & I NOW understand what this Cylinder/adapter thing is required to connect the POD filter (see pic). I need to remove the bottom part of my plastic box which has 4 bolts plus the wires and attach an adapter to the AFM for the POD to work. (would this be correct). What I was doing is taking away the whole box + the wires and attaching the POD with no wires and no AFM. Nothing easy

Sorry guys, I'm now confused when you say "putting it on the shiny cylinder" I am actually replacing or taking a way the original box at the front on the engine bay and hooking up or replacing it with the Pod filter by inserting the tube that connects to the box. Is this incorect. Is their more to do !!!!!

I've tried to replace my Box filter on my R33 Turbo with a Pod filter and she won't start, I get a single crank nothing more. I put back the old filter & she purrrrrs. All I have done to the vehicle is add a JCAR Air & Fuel adjuster, large intercooler, boosted to 11lb & goes very good. Any Ideas would be appreciated.

Folks, Thanks on the advice, I think I know what the problem is now, I turned off the alarm with the key so it would not drive my neighbours crazy whilst I was gone, I will have to turn the alarm back on so that I know if it is actvated or not and then place my wifes new battery from NRMA and give it another try. The car is heavy to push so I can clutch start it. Thanks alot for the ideas people, great help.

Hi people, I just returned after 3 months from overseas and the poor Skyline will not start, I can't even get it out of the drive way, I thought it was the batterry and I bought a new one and it still won't start. All it does is a tick, tick, tick noise from the front when i turn on the ignition, It won't even crank. Any clues/ideas would be appreciated. Thanks

Thanks guys, You have been some help, but what I need is to install this Fuel Cut Defender to the factory ecu, I'm not sure which wire gos to the Map Sensor and to the ecu. I just want to increase boost. any ideas

Hi Have you installed your fuel cut defender, I'm in the process of installing one "JAYCAR" and I'm trying to locate the wire that goes from the MAP sensor to the ECU. Could you help or can some one help by pointing out the Pin number for RB25DET ecu.

Update, I received the manifold and took it to the manifold place and he laughed, he asked if I had an extra $1000 to install a top mount manifold because I would need new exhaust, oil and water lines to the turbo and it would be a head ache to install. He told me the manifold I have is ample so I re- sold the manifold at a loss, I’m not going down that path again. I saw my mechanic who took my car for a drive and adjusted the Jaycar fuel and air adjuster by road tunning the car, it goes allot better than before. Now all I need is a fuel cut defender so i can increase my boost. The skyline screams. Thank guys for your input. :sorcerer:

I agree with you, but this guy who I won't name claims he does expensive cars and manifolds, no matter how expensive or cheap they are will crack within 12months and he guaranteed me it would happen. Driving like grandpa or unleashing hell pedal to the metal, the amount of heat generated by the turbo will eventually crack the pipes were the joints are welded. What come back do I have. Maybe others may want to put their 20c worth about expensive or cheap manifolds. CG

If you don’t mind me asking, how did you replace the studs, I had a look at the engine bay and I just can't fit anything on the side, replacing the stock manifold is a big task but the studs now I'm really concerned so I rung around a few exhaust places in Sydney and they quoted from $350 to $200 to install. One place told me no matter how much you spend $1000 to $100 for the manifold they all crack within 12 months and you would probably get an extra 10kwts of power. I'm just waiting to get it delivered and then I will decide to go through with it or re sell it for a loss. Thanks again Chris

Thanks guys for your replies, Unfortunately, I have bought the extractors and I will go through to put them on. However, I might get an exhaust place after hearing what you guys had to say, do I need the added stress. Also in the near future I will be upgrading to a larger turbo so I thought of getting extractors. All comments appreciated. Chris G, Sydney :sorcerer:

Help required, I've been thinking long and hard on installing extractors to my R33 and require some advise as to how to install them and will I get any power increase. Currently I'm running standard Turbo with 10lb boost, front mount Intercooler, Jaycar air and fuel adjuster, Dump pipe, Turbo back 3inch exhaust. I have searched high and low on the DIY and found very little info. Any hints or help appreciated on how to install the extractors or should I get a professional to do the job. Thanks

Help required, I'm in the process of installing extractors to my R33. I would like to know what type of mess have I got myself into. I had a look at the DIY forum for any ideas and I'm stumped, if I do the job can I cause damage to the turbo. Any suggestions on how to install would be appreciated and any photos would help. Also would I notice any power gains by installing extractors, after all I have front mount running on 10lb boost, Turbo back 3inch exhaust, Jay car Fuel and air adjuster.

I just installed Bendix Advance for $82 front and $82 rear from Repco, Canterbury Rd Campsie in Sydney. Part numbers: DB1170AD and DB1220AD.

2yrs ago I bought my 94 R33 from Wagga Wagga as the car was bought from an importer from VIC, the car had 85k on it and it was a gem, all paperwork received. Recently, I just hit the 100K and noticed the speedo has been set back as some GRUB used a small screw driver to roll back the speedo. Now, every time I drive the car I see the scratches and this S%$ts me to tears. I didn't see this when I bought the car, the GRUB has really scratched the speedo. If I try to sell the car they will see the scratches. What can i do, buy a new dash and speedo.

About 2yrs ago I replaced the small intercooler with a monster front mount and had the pipping go under the front mount to the original inlet and outlet pipes. The place that did my car is in Villawood about 100mtrs North from the railway station along Woodville road, they also had other front mounts and other kits. However, my pipping is mild steel not alloy. The Skyline go's hard and I feel hardly any lag, very responsive.

I bought my Skyline about 2yrs ago from a country town and I was told genuine K's. When I reached the 100k mark I noticed the speedo on the 100k had a scratch, as if it was put back to 90thousand k's when i bought it. I have no idea what the original ks are. Don't believe anyone get a good mechanic to overlook these things. For all I know my car could be 200K. However, it go's hard when Suburus are around.

Mate, I bought my Skyline from Wagga Wagga, I found the car on the internet and the person selling the car was going away for 2weeks. That day I booked my flight with "REX" from Sydney and did no checks such as NRMA on the vehicle only REVS and took a big chance and bought the car. I drove the car from Wagga Wagga straight home to Sydney and after 2years no problems. I looked at dealers along Parramatta Road and their is heap of CRAP waiting to be sold. Also looked at Auctions, REX's go cheap and when the dealer buy's the car he put another 10grand on the car yard sale. If you have mates that are mechanics, let them have a look or have NRMA check it out, I prefer private sale due to the bargaining power.

Panikin, It would be really good if you can send me some photos and installation guide. I just want to make the right choice when buying the jaycar kit or I purchase the SAFCII. If i purchase the kit then i will get a bigger dump pipe and install it myself. I should gain some horse power. I look forward to your reply. Chris G
