Hiya people - help needed - I just installed new apexi power intake In my R33 gts-t , the car is stock apart from full cat back exhaust..

after installing - i disconnected the battery to reset the ECU and held down brake pedal to get residual power out - waited five mins then re-connected battery & afm. Took car for a drive and it keeps wanting to stall or it sounds like a car does when you are about to run out of petrol - stutters and spurts anywhere above 3000rpm - it sounds like the car is starved for air..

Please help -

It should be ok the car will run rough for a little while (about the first 15 minutes of driving) as the ecu re-learns all the settings again, also if the car wasnt warmed up before you reset the ecu the timing is immediatley retarded for cold startup

Hope this helps

Sounds like your silicon connections are loose. I would check over all the piping make sure you don't hear any leaks, you could try spraying something like aerostart around them, if you hear it pick up revs there is a leak.

      I haven't....but a poorly made one would terrify me. Surely a good second hand one is the go, as they don't work hard and no-one wants to keep one after they are finished with it A big consideration would be the weight of the shell you are putting on it....is it a fully dressed chassis or just the body

      Not stock. All remade. Mostly looks stock because the pipes run to and from the standard holes in the inner guard to get to the return flow FMIC. I'm not sure which question you're trying to ask, because it seems like "stock position" vs "stock position".

      Hey, it's a GT-R, it's just as significant a moment as mine😁 It's not ideal when things are uncertain; I'm the type of person that always has a set plan for things in life so being unsure of this plan puts me in a weird place mentally.

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card style AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had no flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).
