2 questions (RB20)

the attached image is of my pod filter.

I want to move it more to the left, so it's easier to make a cold air box for it. I tried to do it the other day but it was near impossible as the filter is too close to the intercooler pipes. How does one extend the intake pipe? I've seen it before with other people...

What's the cannister to the right of the pod filter?

Looks like your pod is attached directly to the AFM. You'll proly need an adapter pipe of some sorts. I have a GReddy (dunno if it's genuine tho) adapter that mounts the pod abouts where your intake duct is sitting now from (what remains of) the stock airbox. I can take a picture of it if you like, but am at work atm so I'll have to do it later. You'll proly not want the pipe to be as long as mine tho...

Hey, OT but could you do me a big favour? Could you take a picture of where the front of the intake duct goes into? I've never seen it before (got my 32 with a pod already installed), and I have the stock airbox and I'm not sure where the start of the intake duct is suppose to go (I'll proly put the stock airbox on when summer comes around).

That cannister you're talking about is power steering fluid.

The intake goes underneath the headlight, but it's a hopeless position really as it has poor air flow behind the front bar and other misc stuff.

rayage - here's some I prepared earlier...or did you mean the airbox intake under the headlight.

MM2death - thanks mate...I think mine's leaking as the pipes coming from it have some liquidy substance coming from it

Yeah might be a good idea to check your level and check the sealing on the screw cap.

You have a FMIC correct? That's the problem when your FMIC kit reverts back to the standard piping as with mine the piping from the outlet of the intercooler comes up the driver side and across the radiator fan. I've freed up one of the standard holes now and use it for CAI.

As for your problem, you might have to put in an extension piece from the AFM to where you want your pod to go or even do away with the whole rubber inlet pipe and fabricate something. Theres certainly not much room around the area.

Here's a couple pictures...

Cool thanks. I was kinda concerned whether I got all the necessary parts to the stock airbox when I got the car. I know the 33s have a plastic intake adapter thingy mounted to the top of the left headlight, but I couldn't see anything similar on my 32.

Yea I was referring to the airbox intake under the headlight. I wasn't sure where the intake duct (into airbox) actually went. :confused:

Usually when the airbox is removed and replaced with an pod filter, a plastic duct is left bolted in place underneath the headlight. In addition to that, there should be an additional plastic snorkel that connects from the duct under the headlight to the actual airbox itself.

Ah okay thanks. I took some pics of my pod + adapter. I think the adapter is probably too big/long for what CerealKiller has in mind.

I also took some pics of the intake area. Can you tell if everything in there is as it should be or am I missing anything?

[CerealKiller]

the only thing missing is a cold air partition (like on mine)...

oh and the adapter is a little too long, I only want to move mine 4/5 inches to the left so it's easier to make an cold air partition.

Hahaha fair enough . So I presume I'm not missing anything.

I kinda figured the adapter would be way too long for what you had in mind .
