after getting a defect for my car, i was searching for someone who can make air boxes. after finding somenone i asked the supplier if they would mind organizing a GB for Skylines Australia. and they were more then happy to agree.

i bought my airbox for $300 and was made out of Full Wet Carbon Fibre and is a absolute banger!!!! looks crazy, gives you a heat shield for your pod to get those extra kws and prevents defects :laugh:

his willing to drop the price to $280 delivered Australia wide if we can get 20+ people.

you have the choice of Wet or Dry Carbon Style Air Boxes.

im in the mist of getting pics so hang tight.

Interested... Im abit concerned about the box retaining heat as im pretty sure carbon fibre has high retention of heat...

Although I know carbon is used for brakes .. so I could be wrong?

the carbon is made to withstand engine bay heat, unless youve got moultn lava in your car then it should be fine lol, the box is to prevent hot air, not hot metal or anything else. so your good to go

Do you mean prepreg when you refer to "dry" layup?

Also keen to see some pics to make a decision.

Thanks

not sure ether but he showed me a Dry Carbon which was a lil more textured then the wet carbon (gloss finish)

thats best as i can explain it, dosnt make a difference at all, just how it looks

Also very interested....How does it work does he make up a pattern of your set-up then mould a box to suit or are they more of a generic thing?

his custom made his own boxes for each model of car (32, 33, 34, Silvia range and more)

and if you got a custom setup in your bay he can mould one specificly for your car, but thats never really needed unless you got something in the way.

these from topstage?

I was just wondering that myself because Topstage only yesterday posted on NS.com they are going to have some CF airboxes for 33's & 34's up & going soon..

This product doesnt protect against defect notices in Victoria Andru.

Pod filters are legal in vic mate, as long as you dont have a FMIC as well.

And if you have one of these air boxes and a FMIC you can still be defected...

    • Another thought on this OLD topic: When you paint your bonnet lip, leave a small unpainted back lip/line along the back of the lip, where it rests on the bumper. That way, the line in the back is much more prominent than the gaps in the front/under the lip - and it breaks the hood-to-bumper connection at the "correct" place, when comparing to a GTR. I'm gonna do this with mine this week, so stay tuned for pics!
    • So I'm in the final stages of assembling my single turbo RB30/26 and had a question regarding MAP reference points.  I've seen several recommendations such as tapping the cylinder 2/3 ITB, tapping the intake manifold at cylinder 2/3, or using a point on IAC. First two are doable but require permanently modify part and the third is "out" as I plan to delete the IAC.  All that to say my question is can I used the "bleeder" in the center of the ballance tube as a MAP Reference? I'm running a catch can so I don't need it for the PCV system. My thought process is it "pulls" from all 6 cylinder, and it's between the ITB and the cylinders making it ideal for MAP reference according to what I can find. Thoughts?
    • Some sense has prevailed! What kind of idiot spends money on intake, heads, and cams for a N/A motor in 2025? Lol. What maroons. Source:I am King Maroon.
    • So, cams are not getting installed......yet  Had a good chat with MX5 Mania about intakes, they recommend not to get ITB's, they recommend a plenum style for the NC So, one of these puppies is being ordered, with a larger TB to suit, when it arrives from the US the car will go in for the cams and intake I'm also getting a fancy rear box bit for the air filter box which will suit the new TB size
    • Clamp meter is pointless. Unless you're trying to keep average current under a set value for some weird reason (maybe you undersized your wiring?), then you'll get no useful info. What you're really trying to target is the flow of fuel coming back to the tank. You want some, but not a lot. You also want to make sure fuel pressure remains stable.   So, fuel pressure gauge, and fuel flow gauge. Set it up from that.
