I've tried to replace my Box filter on my R33 Turbo with a Pod filter and she won't start, I get a single crank nothing more. I put back the old filter & she purrrrrs. All I have done to the vehicle is add a JCAR Air & Fuel adjuster, large intercooler, boosted to 11lb & goes very good.

Any Ideas would be appreciated.

are you bolting it into the engine bay and not putting it on the shiny cylinder under the back of the car?

Sorry guys,

I'm now confused when you say "putting it on the shiny cylinder" I am actually replacing or taking a way the original box at the front on the engine bay and hooking up or replacing it with the Pod filter by inserting the tube that connects to the box. Is this incorect.

Is their more to do !!!!!

yeh sound like you've missed the afm. Otherwise i guess he would have said something about an adapter for AFM to Pod

that thing connected to your airbox, the clyinder type thing with the squareish box on top with wires coming out of it measures the airflow into your engine. Without this your car thinks it is getting no air and will not run

Everyone who helped,

I had another look & I NOW understand what this Cylinder/adapter thing is required to connect the POD filter (see pic). I need to remove the bottom part of my plastic box which has 4 bolts plus the wires and attach an adapter to the AFM for the POD to work. (would this be correct).

What I was doing is taking away the whole box + the wires and attaching the POD with no wires and no AFM.

Nothing easy

that's correct, you need to have the AFM connected with the pod on the end of it where it bolts onto the stock airbox. the car will not start without the AFM connected on the stock computer.

Cheers problem solved, I'm only learning.

    • Honestly, for a daily I would gladly rock a Camry. The more disposable the better. People drive horribly out here and road conditions are awful.
    • Verify it's going into each of the 4 gears in normal acceleration, make sure the torque converter locks up over ~65-70 kph or so at low throttle opening. If you ease into the throttle at those speeds eventually you should get a "gear" between 3rd unlocked and 4th locked. It should downshift eventually if you floor it at 65 kph too. Get some Matic D ATF and drain the pan, check for signs of sadness in fluid and drain plug magnet. Top off to the correct level afterwards. If the transmission is worth saving you can drop the pan on a second drain and change the filter while you're at it. These are not complicated transmissions, at least compared to modern stuff.
    • A seat I find stupidly comfortable to sit in is the one in a friend's Merc Race Car. It even has the huge wings that wrap around your head. Best ever. Only issue is climbing through his scaffolding he put up in the doorway of the car... Ha ha ha. I sat in that seat for a couple of hours doing wiring. Another stupid comfortable seat I find, especially if my back is aching, is my OMP fixed back bucket seat too. I'll just sit on it when I'm exhausted in the garage sometimes to relax!
    • I just got off the phone with Dean from Vosta in Brisbane. They are the ones that do the replica seats and they have a shop full of seats for my to try out. Lovely guy.  I haven't decided whether to go genuine or replicas, I'm leaning towards Genuine at this point but who knows.  Also thinking the STRADIAs are the way to go VS the GIAS since they have a lower hip edge and would be easier to get into. Don't really like the idea of arm rests on the models to the right of this diagram either, maybe they can be removed?
    • From my own first hand experience, keeping power for a fun Street able skyline down at a responsive low 200 wheel KW, is the best. It makes it super drive able through the twisties, you're not just smashing mass wheel spin, or only able to open the throttle for a split second before being at absurd speeds. That said, plenty of people like being morons at more than double the speed limit on public roads and hence are happy with 600whp and seeing 200kmh fly up frequently and fast. Also, at that low 200, a GTR can still do a decent quarter mile, and with a bit of fancy  clutch work (foot, not the parts) can still beat many many cars in a traffic light gp, even in the wet.
