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 -

afm wiring - check it, sounds as if it isnt connected correctly.

spray with brake cleaner (inside the mesh) for a quick clean, and redo the wiring connections

just changing the air filter won't change a thing... it's everything after that that can make a difference to how the car runs.. so if the "power intake" is just the pod filter that bolts onto the afm then i suppose you took it off to make it easier... make sure the hose clamp that connects onto the afm is on properly and that the clip is on properly. The car will idle and just run with the afm plug disconnected but not past about 2000rpm so that's the issue. You shouldn't have had to reset the ecu anyway.

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......

      I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.

      IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰

      Nah, I'm not an a-hole, ha ha!   I do like the colour match. Some of the carbon fibre wraps are quite freaking horrible. There's one a local company I know uses, and it looks damn good! Also very very expensive per metre to buy! ha ha ha It might be cheaper to respray the roof than use the good CF Wrap, ha ha!
