Hey peoples,

I've found that even tho the help from these good peoples with all their designs is an excellent source of information (thank you all) but the problem lies when people use different brand air filters that they don't all fit i.e. Me LOL Anyway, i will be designing one for my R33 GTSt very shortly and making a mould of it and then constructing it from fibreglass to make it light, visible and mainyl to test its resistance to heat as i cna't see it soaking as much as alluminium. The best part will be i can make it perfectly moulded to the bodywork for a very neat finish. Anyway, once its done i will post pics on here and will probably be selling them if they work well and comply with a lot of commonly used airfilters i.e. HKS, K&N etc. So if anyone is interested i will be doing them cheap jus cos i want to see a lot of confused people happy with a good product :D After all who'd pay over 100 bucks for a brand name partition?? Not me lol. So they will be very well priced, basically not much mroe than materials. But i'll let you know once the product has been developed. Thnx J.

yeah once i get my car back mine will be made with my k&n filter i'll give it ago

we have a massive gillatene (spelling) at work we used when we used to make security doors now we just use it to cut ply if we need it, and im pretty sure i can get sheet metal of some type at trade price but yeah i'll see how i can make one u never know maybe for the people in melbourne i can make some for u guys :D

Doxximus: I dun mind doin it dude :P All for the fun of it guess... And i dun min dhelpin others with things i have found to be tricky. Going to start constructing a frame/skeleton for the fibreglass probably this week depending on time, but it looks like i'll be fine. I am using a rather large K&N high power Pod filter so its porbably the largest pod filter availabe therefore will be good for everyone else because they wil obviosuly have a smaller pod which means they will hopfully all fit? I'll design it as universal as possible for all filters. And as i said it will be moulded well intospace there and will be able to be pained in any color i.e. Vehicle color etc as itis fibreglass.

That looks sweet Devo, and thats exactly what I'd be looking at doing. I thought long and hard about an induction setup from the front bar but after last Friday night when I was driving through water that was over my front bar (loads of rain) I think it's best to keep the stock intake as it stays high and dry.

I have an R33 with an Apexi filter also, do you have the template for your design Devo ?? What material did you use ?

No template as such Jimbo, it was pretty much design and build.

The partition and lid were made from 1.2mm ali and the snorkell extension was .4 or .6 ali, plus a bit of 12 x 12 mm angle at the partition to lid joint and some single sided sticky foam to fill the gaps.

B T W slide the return fuel cannister thingy of its bracket,get rid of the bracket and re-mount the canister to the partition,( I used a cable tie) this gives you a bit more room to play with.

p.s. If you make up a pattern of the partition out of cardboard, it will save you a lot of wasted ali.

Cheers

Harry:cool: :D

Just took her out ;) ... more like :):D Its looks sweet, no resin touched the body at all and the plastic liner peeled off without stickin aswell ;) I had an idea aswell, i'm covering the outside of the patition with heat reflective material, the stuff u find on sun shields for front windscreens etc. This should block alot of the heat out and soak up whatever tries to get in as they are good for around 55-60 degrees which is similar temps seen around the engine bay. Its just finishin off drying now should be ready by the morning i reckon, hopefully have it fully fitted tomorrow somtime.

    • Anyone want to make me an offer to take my v36/g37 3.7l manual coupe in full? Off memory it was low 100k km but the battery is flat so can't tell right now. What's wrong. I had engine problem's that led to a nice clunk. It made it home but it wasn't pretty for the last few kms. Happened under revs. Sounds like bottom end.. never got around to fully checking or fixing it so the car has sat still and unregistered for a few years. Minor bump in front end set the pedestrian protection under bonnet airbag off and that was meant to be repaired, but while waiting for the repair (parts to come) I got the engine problem. The rest of the car is in decent condition. All drive line is good. All interior is good. Leather interior. Wheels in good condition and decent tyres although the ps4s are likely a little too old now it's sat still. Colour of the car is pewter off memory, the dark grey colour. In Camden NSW. Would need a tray back pickup.

    • I started with the above in my head too, and I might be reading / thinking about what they want wrong, which is why I complicated it a bit further. Purpose I'm seeing is for the corner indicator to be on with headlights, and then if the indicator turns on it can still flash. The relay part above I can see working as required, except in the case of headlight is on, and indicator is on. The change over relay you've wired in would get signal from the indicator, and as it flashes would give power to the globe from the indicator, but as it flashes off, power comes from the headlight, which would cause the indicator to be constantly on when headlight is on, even while indicator change over is flashing. That is unless we don't care if it flashes or not if the headlight is on? I guess that's an OP clarification.
    • HI, Ive got an r34 gtt sedan A/T. The instrument cluster went out and I replaced it with another A/T everything visually looks the same and all the gauges work now with the exception of the speedometer and odometer. The speedo will stay pinned at zero until I'm going about 55kmh and then it'll say Im going about 5kmh. my odometer seems to be tracking at about a 1/10 of what it should. If I go 1km it'll say I've only gone 0.01. Appreciate any and all help. Ive tried searching through the forums reddit and a local fb group. The only info I think I've found is that some cars didnt come equipped with TCS (mind is) and the clusters may be different between those? I've also installed a brand new VSS and no joy obviously. TIA. 
    • what speedo healer did you use?
