R32 GTS Rb25de stock air cleaner setup

Hi all,

I have a R32 GTS Rb25de that needs to go through a NSW EPA inspection. The issue was excessive noise, which has been corrected with a new muffler. But I also need to refit all the stock emission control stuff. I've done everything except removing the pod filter and reinstalling the original air cleaner. This was already off the car when I bought it. I got a box of bits with the car but I'm not sure everything is there. My question is can anyone supply a photo or diagram of how the stock air cleaner, ducting and hoses that go to and from it should look.

Thank in advance.

Thanks for the help guys. I realised I had all the parts except the airbox. And you cannot get one anywhere. I had a pod filter and heard and read varying stories as to whether they are illegal in NSW. I ended up speaking to one inspector who didn't want to answer questions but just said put everything back to stock and you'll be right. Then spoke to an inspector elsewhere and he said the issue with pod filters is induction noise, so basically so long as he could not hear it (or pretty much see it) it should be right. So I built a sheet metal enclosure for the pod filter, with one open side, and all passed.

      High temp brake fluid?

      Interesting....can't say I've ever checked it, have always just changed it in the off season as practice

      Just checking, when we are talking about high temp fluid, are we all referring to DOT 5.1? I haven't had any issues with changing it every 2-3 years.

      Yeah that is still true AFAIK.....good brake fluid should be changed annually because it absorbs water faster which is more often than most mechanics would do it. There are cheap tools that check water% in brake fluid if you all scientific about it. I for sure would (do) run good brake fluid in anything that even casually saw the track like Murray said; avoiding the risk of "exciting" fade is worth it

      Well, back in the day..... "race" fluids, which were essentially only really "high temp" fluids, used to absorb water more readily. So they really needed to be changed more often anyway. The coincidence of that being directly necessary along with it being what racers would do as a matter of course was just fine.

      Does the high temp fluid degrade any different over time compared to normal one? That's one thing I've always been wondering. Because a track car is going to get the fluid flushed probably way more often than every two years and will see less kilometers driven. I would think the requirements are different. I'm running Motul RBF 600 in mine. Was recommended by my mechanic before a trackday and I've stuck with it since. Hasn't seen the track since but I've kept buying and using it for servicing anyway.
