hey all i got pulled over today (wasnt a suprise red p plater) i bought my car with an apexi pod filter already on it from a import dealer, i put a cold air box over it but the cop could see the pod and said that may be defectable..

my question is with the box in the pictures below is it worth a defect??

and the hole where you can see the pod what is suppose to be there?? my freind said fuel surge tank but i dont know..

anyone any ideas?? would be greatly appreciated.

Hmm, a surge tank is more commonly found in the boot, so unlikely. As for the hole, im not sure, I would probably just bend up a scrap piece of aluminium, paint it black and bolt her on from under the hole (might look a bit less dodgy), and all of a sudden you will find yourself with an uncle named bob'.

wsa already planning to do that i just didnt know how i was going to do it..

im not to worried that what ever it is is not there because if it was important the car would of had major problems by now

what goes there is the charcoal canister - that's an emissions thing. Some gay compliance peoplpe, like xxx went cheap and bought these gay aftermarket charcoal cans. these f**kig big mofos are the size of a paint tin.

they hacked up my car by drillign holes into the strsut tower near the dip stick, and put that f**king big mofo there.

the stock one is where the pod sits.

yeh the part missing is a black cannister that sits there and it collects fuel vapors i think, alot of people have taken them off and no problems. a hose runs from the manifold down to the cannister usually. if u dont have a cannister the hose from the maniifold should be blocked off.

yes its the charcoal canister position, and when its missing its a defect, the pod is not fully enclosed so it too is a defect, but yeah a bit of metal will fix that. if you dont understand the concept of "fully enclosed", look at the stock airbox. u cant see the filter and its fed from outside the engine bay= fully enclosed

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
