that looks more like an oil catch can to match an exedy clutch.

as for the template, are you just wanting a partition or a box system? if you are just wanting a partition, just get some thich cardboard and make one up. its not hard. just have to cut out 2 gaps for the intake pipes, and any for the intercooler pipes.

Ive got a partition with lid for sale at the moment - $50 in the carparts&accessories4sale section.

worked well, although Ive now replaced it with a proper CAI, getting everything ready for the hiflow turbo >_<

up here in freezing QLD you don't have to have the pod enclosed, just a fixed mounting bracket.

its a bit of a funny reg that one, ive been told both and was pulled over recently and was told it had to be covered or its defectable. Needless to say i went and bought a pod enclosure, some cops say it is some say it isnt.

it was the boondal hoon squad that pulled me over. i had the pod mounted and they didn't say anything about it. another 2 of my mates got puled over, both with pods, and by the hoon squad, again nothing. and one of the other guys asked the cop about it as well and he said as long as they are mounted, not just hanging there they are fine. they booked both the other 2 for various other problems though, like cutting the front bar for the intercooler, atmo bov, 1 had a sports steering wheel which was too small, and then the usual, bald tyres, too low, etc.

also because the filter is nearly as big as the bucket the bucket would get sucked in a bit, so air would only get to the top of the filter, not much would get to the sides. i'd have to say that the tupperware box using the panel filter is the best so far.

it looks professional like this

not really. would look better painted black. but even a hard will suck in a little. might work a little better if it was t shaped with the cold air pipe coming in the side of the bucket instead of the bottom so that the air is going straight into the filter.

Might use a similar tub as a template, get it all to fit, then take it off and make one out of aluminium sheet.

If worried about the look of that paint one, could possible fibreglass over the top of it

i prefer the tuperware box as it uses 2 intake pipes, both going onto the filter, so the air isn't hitting the front of it then having to travel around it. and the box is big enough to let the air flow around the filter.

This is what i have done to get air there, and just changed inside the engine bay around a little bit today and i'll post fotos of that tomorrow. I figured that if u have the pod filter joined to the induction pipe, the induction pipe goes under water (deep puddle) the suction will suck water up. I had the same sorta set up with the pod filter down behind the front spoiler but didnt feel comfortable in heavy rain or with puddles, so this is what i ended up with.

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????

      Looking for autoelectrician in Perth who can do the OEM to double din stereo upgrade.

      Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
