Hi all,

This thread is open also to non R34 owners, just let me know what car you drive so I can get an idea.

I am looking at buying an Apexi Panel Filter.

1) will it make any difference in the 34?

2) do you recommend getting another panel filter e.g. K&N?

From what I have read on these forums, I do not want to get a pod because of legality/maintenence/problems and figured the best way to go is a panel filter.

Cheers

SK reccomended it to me and i am pretty happy with it. Definatly flows a lot better, better induction noise, and all with the legal std airbox :P

Unless your in Vic and can only have one intake mod I would go with a decent pod in a heatshield...

i'm running a Unique auto sports shield with a power enterprise pod and it seems to be alot less restrictive. I do however, drive an R33.

theres a pic from the uas site:

Hmmm... might be looking at a new filter with a bit higher flowing.. any ideas where to get apexi or nismo ones in sydney.. or is ebay the way to go..

one question with the UAS one above - where does the airflow come from.. atleast with the stock one it gets fed quite well from under the lip of the bonnet..

The pod sits over the old intercooler piping hole, if you leave it like that it sucks air through there but im getting a stainless pipe made up to feed it (ram pod type theory) the holes for a flange connection are there from the stock piping so its easy to get done.

No offense to apexi lovers but their panel filters are horrible. They are just paper nissan panel filters with Apexi sprayed on them. K&N items are miles better.

Nismo is the same - a lot of money for a paper filter.

Just get a K&N. Sit them side by side next to each other and you will see what i mean.

I don't know about the apexi ones but I have both a standard nissan one and a Nismo one and they are not the same in flow or look. The difference in both regards is immediately noticeable.

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
