Have a HKS POD on the car ATM.

This currently has clearance issues with the bonnet. :domokun:

Nothing major, but it touches/scrapes on the underside of the bonnet.

I don't know if the grey pipe that leads to the AFM is an aftermarket pipe, but could this be the reason it is rubbing?

I tried to fit the APEXi POD today but this one had NO CHANCE of fitting in.

Here's some more pics of the HKS POD to show how much it sticks out by.

Looks bad in the pics, but luckily, the underside of the bonnet has grooves... :rofl:

Anyone else have these issues or know of a fix?

Also, could someone comment if that grey pipe is a standard pipe?

And would this be rectified if i purchased an APEXi Kit?

As i just purchased the POD - Which had no issues fitting on to AFM etc etc

only thing i would suggest doing is this, go to autobahn, super cheap or any car parts retailer and get a 90deg silicon elbow. this will change the angle the pod sits and may clear the bonnet better. or even a 45/60deg. depends what you can get. if not, get a aluminum elbow and run the silicon joiners.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.

      I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...

      Sounds like it is rotational in the driveline. CV? Tailshaft CB? Also.....didn't you just pay to have that bit painted and put on the car?

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, when I dialled my idle down, given how much time I spent idling at the lights in traffic on my daily commute, the effect on overall fuel consumption was absolutely noticeable.

      Emissions, fuel consumption, heat, noise, etc. most likely.
