Fiberglass And Carbon Fibre Air Pod Covers....... Stay Legal


Recommended Posts

Please don't take this the wrong way because I am sure Josh is a nice bloke, but I am not driving from WA to NSW just to see him. Now that may show a lack of commitment on my behalf, but so be it. :laugh:

Thats cool all you gotta do is cut the hole for ur afm to link to the pod and drill four holes for the bolts.....

I'm interested in seeing a CF one for R32 GTR. like mr keets I have 32 GTR with Apexi Power intake kit (standard AFMs). $220 is a very fair price as long as it's good :laugh:

As i only own a r32 gts-t i cannot post pics of it in a r32 gtr???? however when i trial fit the carbon one in my car i will post pics...... All covers are similar only modification needed was hole for the AFM to pod link and the bolts to hold them to the cover itself..... then its a neat fit

i remember ring josh and ask how much the cf ones are , i think it was like $180 and i also saw them on ebay for $180 from josh

why all of a sudden he changed his prices

hey guys, josh is my name.

im the owner and founder of JSAI

seems to me there has been alot of interest in these items.

jason has been helping me out with getting these air box's out there.

Q&A:

Q-" why 220 for a cf air box"

A- in the last few months boeing jets have been producing the new air bus, which is mostly made out of cf.

and because of that, they have bought about 99% of the worlds cf.

before they did this cf was worth about $50-$80. now because it is harder to get the price has almost doubled. not to mention not may people have it in stock.

so, yes they were 180, as prices of materials go up, so must our retail price.

its the same as petrol!

im not here to rip anyone off, if anything im here to help, because like all forum members i loves cars aswell. and i started my business to offer products to the public that are user friendly and can be used on the road without getting hassled by the police.

Q " can i use the apexi pod kit"

A- yes you can you can pretty much use any pod set up, thats what it was designed for.

Q "the cover looks rough"

a- it looks rough because the part was unpainted and straight out of the mould.

thanks jason, keep up the good work.

@ Josh (JSAI)

Would you by chance be making anything like this;

nengun-0183-00-monster-carbon_fiber_intake_duct.jpg

I'm after something like this for a 33 gtst. It doesn't need to come down into the grill, just sit where the stock snorkel would. If you could make the snorkel accomodate FMIC return piping I'm sure you'd have a hit on your hands.

I called Josh basically he says no job is too big or too small....... Just give him a call and he is currently working on a mould for the nengun style ones as shown in above post

JSAI-worskshop:

unit 61, 575 woodville road guildford

open 7 days!!!!! and we are open till late most nights.

best to call me before you come in:

1. im always in and out picking up and dropping off

2. to check if your coming to pick up or want something fitted we have it in stock or we need an hour or two to make the item,

the air box of the evo, yes we can do something like that. if your in sydney best to come in, and we can show you some different ways of how we can go about it.

and to the beer barron, the apexi air box is where i go the basic idea from, but i modified it to be more universal.

I will try and come out and have a look this weekend. will give you a call. I'm keen to get something made in CF, but it has to be farken nice quality! I am a picky bastard. :laugh:

Same, Guildford is sort of accessable to west sydney. I'm too lazy to install the stock airbox I have in the garage, besides I like my pod. If I buy one of these Josh can install it for me. Bonus!

Hey.. i've got a R32 gtst with stock intercooler piping. That shouldnt be a prob right?

I must say the first post's pics look abit dodgy as the thing looks like it was just a piece of metal roughly cut and bent to fit (the face of the of the box doesn't look solid and is rather wavy/bent etc). Are these premade or does he make them per order?

I'm after something with a more solid construction. Plus how are these boxes secured and how far do the side walls of the box run?

If possible could you get some higher res pics of a carbon fibre airbox fitted and shots of it not fitted in different angles > preferrably for the R32 GTST to [email protected] .

I'm keen for a carbon fibre one as I don't want to paint a fibreglass one. The carbon ones should be a more solid construction right?

Sorry for the skepticism. I just want to buy a proper box once. I am genuinely interested in it though and am glad someone is finally doing something >_<

Cheers, Ben.

Hey Ben,

The first pics ive posted are of a fiberglass cover unpainted and straight out of the mould, pictures never do justice to the real deal. If u can go to JSAI in Guilford and have a look. The covers are made to order, you can spray them urself or pay a bit extra to get it done. The construction is solid, again u cannot see these things from a picture. The cover is bolted onto your existing setup so whatever AFM you have, the cover is modified to fit it. The rest of the cover fits in the gap between the body panel and engine bay, this can also be bolted down, however it is not necessary as the cover sits firmly. Pics have already been posted.

Regards,

Jason

    • Throwing my spoon to the soup here a bit.  When I installed a 044 back in 2012, along with the direct power mod, the car became very difficult to start. To a point I burned one starter motor as I was late for work and tried to get the thing going. With some tuning and careful use of gas pedal when cranking it became bearable. Trying to make this short as possible, but the 044 died after 2-3 years, after which I went with an AEM 320lph pump, which also died after about 4 years to my dismay. After that I went with a Nismo pump, and while trying diagnose an emissions problem, I noticed for the first time that my fuel pressure was 5bar/72psi on idle, and that removing the vacuum line did nothing. After monitoring the situation, and removing the direct power feed and going back to FPCM in attempts to remedy it, I noticed there was fuel in the pressure regulator vac line. Kept the FPCM, installed AEM external regu and the car became sooo much better in every way, including starting. And I had driven it like it was for 11 years.. Anyway, I agree these are likely two different problems, and the FP problem you just haven't noticed before. I do not know much about haltecs, but what first came to mind was the CAS, which probably is not there any more. So how is the wiring from haltec to gauge cluster? How is the battery voltage and alternator?
    • Your car was auto before? You have different diff ratio (auto vs manual i think? or n/a and turbo?)
    • +1 for getting a screen off alibaba, CarPlay/Android Auto is vastly better than whatever navigation cars had 10 years ago. I got an Android screen for my 2015 BMW, huge difference. Fully compatible with factory stuff including iDrive controls.
