Does anyone know what model number Apexi pod if any will fit onto a 90mm Q45 AFM? I found one on Greenline that has an 85mm outlet, which I presume is the same inside diameter of the Q45 AFM. Does anyone know if it will bolt straight on or if I need some sort of adapter?

Here is link for the Apexi intakes at Greenline. Specifically, I'm hoping that the "Power Intake 160-85B Replacement Element" will bolt straight on.

No ..it requires an adapter...read the description on Greenline

Do you have experience with this or are you just reading the description? I did read the description and it wasn't clear where the adapter actually went, and I couldn't even find the adapter on the list.

Jason has since replied to my email and said this: The part that you have mentioned is the correct replacment filter for the Q45 Infinity. The notes mean that the part is designed to be a replacement filter for the Q45 kit which comes with parts for specifically fitting it to that vehicle.

So it seems you need an adapter to attach the pod to the vehicle, not the AFM. Since I've already got a custom air box to hold it in place, I don't seem to need an adapter. Jason only quoted me for the pod anyway so I'll get it alone and see how I go.

The replacement filter is just what it says....it is a replacement filter for someone who has a car specific filter kit and needs to replace just the filter. The kit includes an adapter plate to bolt the filter to the AFM...if you haven't got the adapter plate you will need to get one . thus it sounds like you need a filter Kit to suit the Q45 afm. The pod does not attach to the vehicle it attaches to the AFM and there is usually a bracket to brace the AFM to the vehicle

Quick update: I received the pod this morning, and it bolts straight on as my old pod did to my factory AFM. In the (Japanese) instructions, there is a diagram showing adapter/spacer in between, but I think that may only be required if you still have the factory airbox or you need to mount it to the chassis. There is also a metal bracket to hold it to the chassis in the diagram, which I guess is part of the adapter kit. None of it is needed in my case, as I have a UAS airbox which holds the AFM securely enough. Well, it will once I dremel out a bit more room for the bigger AFM :)

One cause for concern is the extra bolt holes to line up on a different style AFM, they protrude past the edge of the gasket and may be a point at which dust can get sucked through over time. I may fill the extra holes up with Tarzan Grip or something.

      Will I Need A Retune After Cahanging My Catalytic Converter ?

      By silviaz · Posted

      Does it make a difference in your turbo having a shorter life if you have a cat converter as it causes that back pressure versus less/no back pressure with a decat? (Not sure if this is accurate) Also slightly different question if you went from a oem cat to a decat or vice versa will it require a tune? I heard if you change the dump pipe onwards it requires a tune?

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      No. Have only gotten as far as contemplating the task of having to put in the required fairly heavy wiring and fusing to run it (along with the big alternator), and preferring not to. But otherwise, it would be nice to have a little extra freedom as to exactly where the compressor is located and free up some space around the exhaust side of the engine.

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Following from this in a related by not closely-related sense... Because I was buying a bunch of other GKTech stuff, I got some rear subframe collars. The history that leads up to this is: 25+ years ago the car arrived into the country with stock subframe bushes. At some point shortly thereafter I added Whiteline pineapple rings, set up neutral, and it improved the rear end behaviour. Well, it is my vague memory that I was happier with it with them in. Less axle tramp on launches, generally better, etc etc. ~2012 it got a new non-HICAS subframe with new stock bushes. No pineapple rings. I reckon that ever since then I've been dissatisfied with the axle tramp. Recently I've been f**king around a lot with all aspects of the suspension. One contemplation has been to relocate the rear lower control arm front mount points (and do the other things needed to make that work) to improve longitudinal rear grip by getting rid of some of the stupid anti-squat that Nissan ladled into the R32. But.... before doing that I thought I'd put some collars in. And.... The collars are good. The rear sounds a little bit different, but there has been no significant increase in NVH coming up into the body. In terms of rear behaviour - expansion joints on long sweeping elevated freeway ramps that would sometimes cause the rear to jiggle around a bit, no longer seem to do so. It appears that jamming chunks of metal into the gaps in the rubber so they can't move much is a really good thing. And the launch behaviour and general forward traction situation seems to be greatly improved too. It's impossible to be really sure, because the tyres are completely shagged - they are freakishly willing to let go right now. But as an A-B test with the same tyres it certainly seems to grip up a lot better. Highly recommended to anyone who still has stock bushes.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By PLYNX · Posted

      Bit off topic maybe but has anyone had a crack at one of those aftermarket electric compressors ? Bit of a search came up with one put out by Speedy Air Spares. Looks interesting and looks as if you'd have to run a big arse alternator. Found this out after the fact as my air con compressor packed it in and soon after my alternator ! !

      Yes. Needs new ports. Usually just achieved by screwing an adapter onto them. Be aware that any AC compressor that hasn't been used in a long time will very likely have dried out seals and will not hold gas. Oh, and obviously you will require a new receiver-dryer also.
