The supplier for these is TOPSTAGE i believe.

Going by what was posted in the Vic section a few days ago.

Please confirm & supply some more information anDru or this thread will be locked.

Thanks.

yes we make theese airboxes.

CF do have alot better advantages compared to metal.

Metal will heat up especially aluminum, it will take the heat from engine side and it will disperse the heat to the cooler side. after a long drive, you barely can touch the aluminum shield. as for carbon, it speaks for itself, try 20' difference intake and try touching it, barely warm.

yes they do have the cutout for the canisters.

I dont know if im speaking for a majority of people however carbon fibresheet costs $50 for about the amount used.. and setting it to that shape a few hours.. I dont know if its $300 bux worth ..

Suppose time adds up quick but i feel its expensive .. thought id add my two cents

Reasonable price, if you dont like it and think you can do a better job, spend your time making your own instead of being a pain in the arse. When was the last time you bought CF sheet? The price has sky rocketed since the airbus production started.

By the way since you are such a tight arse why dont you keep your 2c.

lol take it easy there trooper i guess he just dosnt wanna get ripped off.

as for your question decim8, its quite a good price, and because it is a custom job it just adds. but trust me its worth the $$$ cuz its a awsome job.

maybe we can meet up when we get our leather seats installed, and i can show u the quality of the CF box, thats if your in melbourne :P

I would definately buy one if it suited my setup :P

A custom alloy one is costing me this much.

the best way to get a perfect fit is to get some cardboard, and cut out the shapes to mould around your car. send it to us and we'll mould the CF in that shape and send it back. but try taking a pic we might be able to judge how easy it is to do

Thanks for the offer - would not get the fit I require doing it this way, really need to have the car there IMO. Shame you guys are so far away, haven't found anyone in syd yet and I dont have access to a proper workshop anymore.

it really isnt that hard i did it myself. honestly try it. what u do is get a big sheet of carboard, cut it into the shapre u need. all u need is a pen and a stanley knife

Do you work for topstage now andru?

nah not really, we do favours for each other. i thought why not make friends with someone whos a CF moulder. will come in handy when i need that Diffuser

    • Also, the cause of fuel spills and smells from the top of the tank is almost always the rubber hoses that are up there, not the tank seal.
    • 1. No, as you say you can remove the connectors and fuel lines. Before you do make sure you remove fuel pump fuse and crank the starter a few times to release pressure, and also loosen the fuel cap (just in case the tank is slightly pressurised) as it will pump out the lines otherwise 2. Not necessary but you are right, if it is the factory pump it is at risk of failing after 25 years....Changing it is not hard but potentially not trivial as you have to make sure you have the right pickup/sock for the pump to suit the tank, need to make wiring connections (crimped butt connectors would be fine) and have to mount/adapt the new pump in the right place in the cradle. Not impossible but don't start the job if you aren't confident. Also, the plastic nut that holds that seal in place can be really hard to remove. If you don't have a fuel nut removal tool it generally requires a big screwdriver or similar to bash the ring around a few times before you can get it by hand. Also the fuel lines can be very sticky on the tank lid fittings, hose removal pliers can help or if not twist the hose on the fitting (eg with linesperson's pliers) to break the seal before you try and remove it. Finally, mark the feed and return hoses so you don't put them on backwards and seal them with an m8 bolt to stop crap getting into the lines while working. Add a little grease in the threads of the plastic lid when you go to do it back up as a gift to your future self, and make sure you put it on evenly/not cross threaded.  Having said all that, most likely the lid just needs to be either tightened or removed and put back on without being cross threaded...the seal itself is usually pretty good.
    • Another weekend and another project I have questions about.... I bought a fuel tank sender O ring to install on the car because I'm quite sus on what I've got now.  1. No "whooosh" sound when opening fuel cap 2. If I fill up full tank, there will be a small leak under the car and it comes from the top of the fuel tank, dripping along the side. Stops after a short while 3. Hot days = 50/50 chance to get high as a kite inside the cabin if the car was in the sun for too long This is what I bought: https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/1734279900 My plan was to just replace the O ring but I've got some questions: 1. Does the whole fuel pump assembly need to come out for me to replace the O ring?         Or, could I unplug all the connectors and fuel lines at the top, take off the twisty part (17343) and put in the O ring from the top?  2. Is it a very common thing for everyone to just change the pump whenever doing this?        I see the Walbro 255 gets thrown in a lot but I've got no issues with my pump so far. When I did the tune, I asked the guy to check my fuel pressure and he said there were no issues too. But is it just a good idea to change to the 255 anyway as the old unit may have been in there for so long? The 255 seems to be a direct fit for GTT (I got no soldering iron)  
    • Normal speedtek issues, bin it and go cdoo# or 8hp. So many issues with these gearsets, a mate went through 3 rebuilds and multiple parts with heat, bearing and vibration issues.  
    • I wouldn't go near them, they are rubber seals for a reason. Just chuck new cam cover seals, half moons and the spacers for the screws every decade or two. I add a really thin layer of silicone too and it seems to hold together OK
