Hi,

I bought a Apexi pod filter from a fellow user and have finally come to putting it in the car.

Only thing is it doesn't fit onto the current adaptor, so i bought another adaptor from super cheap for a R32 and it doesn't fit that either. :verymad:

1.Can anyone tell me why it doesn't fit onto the adaptor? Entry hole of pod is ever so slightly smaller than adaptor.

2. What's the answer to making it fit?

Cheers ladies n gents.

Simon.

It's a Gts-t.

My mate said the same thing to just bolt pod direct to afm. I was thinking it wouldn't get such a good seal between pod & afm?

I'll give it a go and see how we go then.

Thanks for the posts gents.

That's what the blue gasket is for which is provided when you buy them new.

I'm just trying to think of an adapter that would seal better than just bolting it to the afm? Doesn't make sense to me, you have to bolt it to something, if you don't have a gasket then it isn't going to seal. If you do have a gasket then just bolt it to the afm, why wouldn't it seal?

It appears that you have bought an apexi pod and adaptor for a GTR (which uses 65mm afm's) as opposed to your 80mm GTS-T unit, hence it wont fit to the adaptor.

Try bolt it straight onto the pod as a few of the other guys have said

      High temp brake fluid?

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      I use the penrite 600f in my cars and have had no issues even at Townsville v8s when I drove that but I bled fluid end of day for just in case. Good value and a about 38-40 on sale. Use castrol srf on the supercars and no need to Bleed brakes over a race weekend. Do the 1000km with no issues. Over 120 a bottle I seen at repco. A quality brake pad is always a good starting point the ebc stuff I've seen let go after 2 sessions with heavier cars. I'd be going to a decent track pad and maybe those porsche air guides on the control arm to help with some air over the rotor. Helps on 86/brz with stock callipers.

      yeah I've never understood that either.... And to answer an earlier question, I write the date on open bottles and throw them if more than 12 months old (which they almost always are, because I don't need to bleed them unless I'm changing lines/calipers etc in between)

      Nah, the one that hit the boot was a big steel locker, around 6 foot height, 4 foot wide and 2 foot deep, empty it weighs about 15kg and had about that amount of stuff in it The photo didn't give a good representation of the actual damage, the large ding on the passenger side was about a inch deep, the one on the driver was about 1/2 inch deep, right on the curve, where the inner boot frame doesn't let you get behind it with a dolly Basically the same issue with getting behind the damage on the centre of the boot We could have filled it all with bog, but my OCD would be triggered every time I looked at it, knowing what hides beneath  As for the locker, I did get the shits with it and put it in the scap metal bin, but, I pulled it out and it is now sitting in the garage at home full of car servicing stuff, cleaning gear and random tools, it's going to pay for it's indiscretions

      Whilst I typically don't cheap out on things, if I can save some money, like $1000, on a clean straight panel, that gives me $1000 to spend on other stuff, basically free money really 🤔 🤣
