I feel like a real lamo posting a thread on a site about skylines when i have a pintara, anyoo..

Does anyone know how to remove the airbox and replace it with a pod filter on a pintara? its 1986, 2ltr fuel injected 4 cylinder. It has some weird thingy on the airbox that has a little flap in it and this big meaty electrical doohicky on the bottom, it seems to be connected to the ignition, i assume it modifies the mixture to make the engine run good. WHen you piss it off, the engine splutters and carries on. Anyone got any ideas???

Cheers

That wierd thingy joined to the airbox with the flap is your air flow meter. This is very important DO NOT REMOVE IT

you need to get a pod airfilter, and also an adapter that bolts on the air flow meter where it used to bolt up to the standard air box. You then mount the pod on the adaptor.

hope that helps....

ps you should be able to buy adaptors for the pod filter from most places like motormate, supercheap auto, autobarn etc. they even sell blank ones where you drill the holes yourself.

This pic may or may not help you.......

It's on an RB30, but it should give you an idea of what it should look like when you're done (without the purple bits!:D;) )

If you go to Autobarn (or similar) and tell them what you need, they should be able to help you out with all the parts.

Sweet! thanks heaps for the help, i wasnt sure if i was supposed to try and remove the flow regulator or not. I think ill make an adaptor out of fibre glass or something, i got plenty of that around. This is just a temorary measure untill i stick an rb20det into the thing

Cheers

      yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.

      I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
