Im Considering making moulds to make cold air induction boxes to suit both hks style pod filters and apexi style pod filters,

I use a arcyrlic clear lid with a rubber seal and stainless steel bolts , with a custom made induction pipe with a fiberglass

air pick up that hides behind the front bar. (not shown but if enough interest is showen i will post pics)

Would you guys be interested in purchasing one of these?

These will not be expensive and will also come in kit form that can be modified to suit your setup.

see if you can do a group buy for these on the forums....you have at least 5-10 ppl in here that would be interested...i bet there would be more down the road...hey and you could even advertise on NS if you were keen.

Still tho im very keen for one if your willing to make one for R32's.

Cheers David

5% - 10 % per purchase donated to SAU should be in order per sale! I just need to know if it wil be worth making the moulds! For now R33 is what im going to concentrate on, It hard there are no r32's or r34's here! Anyone have or willing to make detailed drawing of engine bays with dimentions? :D

I would be definitely keen for an R32 one. It would be better if it was made in alluminium like mr crusts ones... and i dont think everyone has the CAI hole where you do so maybe some sort of universal hole for cold air might be in order?

Let me know, Ben.

true. I have a pipe going through the hole you have for the CAI, so I imagine the only place it's going to be able to get air from is the stock intake point just under the bonnet. this is in a r33 engine bay...

    • @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣  
    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
