Recommended Posts

been trying to get in contact with Top stage to mould me a Carbon Fibre Airbox to cover my POD cuz i got defected a few nights ago for it.

but it seems that Topstage is outta business or something cuz ive been calling everyday for the past week and half. so is there anyone else down here in melbourne who does carbon fibre air boxes?

would they even pass a carbon fibre air-box?

If you have a front mount on a car that didn't come with one factory (your 34 GT-T for example) then the pod is illegal regardless. Cover it with carbon fibre all you want, its still not legal

yep!

The stock airbox is perfectly fine for performance anyhow, no reason to change it.

But ye, ringing for a week and a half is a bit excessive dude.

i dont really have a choice to take the stock airbox off, i need a pod to clear the cooler pipes.

and i will cover it all i want because what the cops cant see cant defect you on.

lol excessive? you tell me what i should do if i cant even drive to work because my 7 days to clear the defect expired yesterday.

some of us work nismoid :)

Well on the 9th day, god wasnt answering you... i think its safe to say that god isnt there wouldnt you think?

You have a choice, dont get a cooler. Either way, you cant cover the POD, it will still be ILLEGAL.

ok, so you get your "custom omg carbon fibre" cops dont see that u have a pod, but u get defected anyways for other shit, and then they find out that u have a pod.

what do u do?

and how doesnt the airbox clear the cooler piping?

and just becoz u have custom cooler pipes, that doesnt mean they will look past you having a pod. its either one or the other.

can u modify a stock airbox to fit?

nismoid im sure ur aware of the law, i was in my mates car who has a BOV, cops pull him over and asked where the BOV was, we all said "wat bov?" so we have a car here which is perfectly legal (Turboed Pulsar lol) which has a BOV which cant be found. u rkn the cops are gonna defect him?

nismoid u have a problem of talkin about crap that isnt needed. if u aint answering the question, no offence get lost. im asking for a air box maker, not ur opinions.

again......no offence "admin" lol

Yep, offending someone trying to help you understand is going to get you more help.

What everyone here is saying is:

1. 2 intake modifications = ILLEGAL

2. a carbon cover on the pod is still a intake modification therefore ILLEGAL and defectable

3. fitting a stock airbox and modifying it to fit is the most LEGAL and appropriate route to sort out your defect.

If you don't want advice, why do you post here???

how does go f**k yourself sound?

you posted a question, and i answered it to the best of my ability.

ive noticed that you always ask questions, and when you get answers, you so defensive and get on your high horse.

if you dont want answers off here then f**k off. no point in being a smartass, coz in the end, no one will give you any help.

i wasnt having a go at you, just trying to help.

just thought it was wierd that u couldnt fit an airbox over the piping

well, he asked for help, and we gave him some answers.

then he becomes a smartass because i dont own an r34 gtt, therefore i know nothing about his car.

if he doesnt want help, he should post.

i could have ignored the topic, but i didnt, i chose to give him some help.

ill admit, i dont own an r34, and yes, i dont know much about them, but i do know, that the airbox can be modified in some sort of way.

and i know its illegal to have a pod and a FMIC

/end rant

I'm getting the feeling some people might have a hostility against anDru just because he is young and has a R34?

No Jannisary/or whatever ur username is.

People are helping, and they are just getting it thrown back in thier faces.

Why would you get one defecting item, to "attempt" to clear another when infact its still illegal.

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
