Hey all,just wondering is there anyway to bypass the airflow meter on pintaras/skylines or maybe fit a smaller one. Its so huge and im wanting to install a POD Filter.Cheers
I simply took the original AFM off the air box. The air box is attached to the AFM on the inside (under where u put the normal filter) it's attached by 4 gold bolts. There a bit hard to get off. I had to use a socket peace & allen key to do it. Once the box is off you simply disconnect the afm from the car and clean it. Then you put on the adaptor (R31 - Rb30 adaptor or VL). Two of the original bolts would not scrue in enough due to the length, as i said before the bolts were originaly from the inside out... when you put the adaptor on you have to revearse that. So i found two smaller bolts and fited that on & then i pushed on the Pod to the adaptor & tightend up the clip. From there it was simply a case of going to the wreckers & finding a rubber hose (i got the same one that's on the ca20e originaly) i cut that to size & put the the hole shebang back on.I got the parts from autobarn & i must say i was ripped off a little on price but it was not quite as bad as i was expecting. I paid $50 for a TFI racing pod (14 cm tall not including flange) i could have got pods for 35-40 but "shrugz", then i paid 27 for the adaptor & the rubber from the wreckers was $5 so all up $82.Not to bad when you consider a K&N filter by its self only start from $120. Im not a big autobarn fan but around hear there the only store who has large stocks that kinda thing.
i do not understnad why the fuck you would want to change a reasonable flowing item for a really small one.
