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;

http://www.nengun.com/monster/intake-duct

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

    • So, I've been a little busy on this car. I replaced the bonnet struts which is always satisfying but very confusing that nobody else on the planet seems to do this. Its just my routine first thing I do on any car I buy. The boot struts for both the tailgate and the separately opening glass window was a bastard. And, I found a fair bit of rust in the strut cavity. I filled it with rust converter and cleaned up as much of the dirt as I could. There was so much dirt. One piece of the trim was barely hanging on and so I've left it off. I'll try to get a replacement. You can see how disgusting and dirty it all was in this thread; I had to remove the little clips that hold the struts on the ball. The ones I took off had no clips and it was impossible to get them on with them in place. Fingers crossed they stay put. So, I turned my attention to the headlights, they were in a bad way and likely would stop rego. I took the headlights out and found the adjusters were all just loose. So, I fixed those and unclipped the lenses to clean them up. Couldn't believe how easy it was to take all this apart compared to the E90.   I also cleaned up the stockies which was awesome, these are super cool with lug nut covers. They're in good nic but the tyres are shot. I was going to use these for rego but in the end got a fresh pair of rubber for the 17's on the front of the car instead. The front bar of this car is from a late(r) model one. I don't think it's quite LCI but who knows. I'll need to find out. Anyway, the bar was missing the fog lights and the wiring and plugs were for the original ones so I got new plugs and some cheap fogs. I wasn't sure if missing original equipment would hamper my blue slip attempts. Had a couple of these little fellas helping out. But not Ben who got stuck behind the pool heater .... How embarressment.  I ordered new speed sensors for all corners because I knew one was out. I just got cheapies and will replace them with Bosch items when I can find Bosch items. Again, this was just for rego. Alas, it seems the blue speed sensors are not the same as the grey ones. Back they went and replacements ordered. In the end, with my new scan tool, it was just rear left that was shot. Replaced it and cleared the codes. All good now. Lastly, my aux (thermo) fan is being a bit odd. Its powering up at strange times and NOT powering up when I think it should (100C). While this can be caused by a few things, the most likely (for me) is the ambient temp sensor. Given mine reads -40.0C regardless of the temp, I figured it would be good to replace it. In the end, the sensor wiring was abysmal with (terrible) attempts made by somebody to fix it.   I fixed this all up but the sensor is only attached using pins into the wires. The plug is not there. Despite trying and trying to connect it securely it wouldn't work so a replacement sensor and plug is on the way. Oh, I also ordered a replacement piece of trim for the part missing here at the bottom. Ordered from Latvia for $70 delivered. I took a bit of a leap of faith because I didn't have the exact part number and, as usual, there were eleventy billion pieces of trim that looked to fit. Nailed it. Well, its not totally perfect but I think its more a 28 y/o car problem than a trim problem. And, as of today ..... I have bought the workshop manuals 2nd hand off a guy in tassie. 1000+ pages of E39 goodness, hopefully it helps me with the fan. I also have a new temp switch on the way incase its the problem. Stoked.
    • I don't even know that you want an M2 Competition as a track car. My rule for a track car is only risk as much as you're willing to completely total out. Clean stock C5 Z06 Corvettes out here are cheap. Buying someone else's already ruined track car is even cheaper. Maybe I'm just not that good a driver but even a Fiesta ST on the Nordschleife felt like as much car as I could realistically handle.
    • I've already gone over the cam. A new one is going in. An old one is coming out! The new one is smaller, with less overlap. It has way more lift, but it will be more mild mannered (hopefully, probably very minorly) I'm also measuring for two more mufflers, with the goal of having four mufflers in my car. But that probably will be done by an exhaust shop in a drive in, measure, buy parts, install parts later kind of deal.
    • Mine is not even a GTR and I've been resisting the urge to make it a power monster for the last 25 years. And as a consequence, I have driven it to work nearly every day across that span of time.
    • Since the motor is out, I suggest pop in a nice dirty LS chop cam. MOAR of this please:
