Hi guys, not sure where to put this as I'm not selling anything personally but just seeing who might be interested in an aftermarket airbox/heatshield.

I'm getting one made up for myself locally out of stainless steel but thought some of you might be interested in this too so ill give you a run down of what I'm getting and if anyone is interested I can pass the details on to you...

Basically its laser cut and made to sit in the passenger side corner behind the headlight, its got an opening through the side for the afm to attach to and have a pod on the inside as well as a cut out to clear the hot pipe for the inter cooler.

I haven't got pics of it installed but I do have some 3d renderings which ill photoshop inside the engine bay later to give you a better idea.

Price is around $130 for basic stainless steel airbox in either polished finish or powdercoated in a basic colour (black,white,red,blue etc)

However, for a bit extra you can have custom metal finish (zinc, blue gold, chrome etc) or custom powdercoated colour as well as custom engraving or cut outs on the lid. pretty much anything can be done such as a forum user name, number plate, jap brand name etc... (all laser cut)

I havent got exact pricing for all the extras but I can inquire about it if anyone wants it.

If enough people are interested ill set up a group buy.

Thanks :D

f**k man, thats damn cheap. if its available for the s14 id be keen.

I'll ask, they will need a base car to take measurements etc for tho but if there's enough interest i don't see why not.

Another thing I forgot to mention is that the airbox is all press bent so its basically a perfect finish and should bolt up to stock mounting points around that area.

hell, they can use my car as the test run...

... if i can lowball myself a discount. :D

(actually, with the s14 one, could probably start marketing it on ns, s14 and s15 = same)

I'm making some out of Carbon fiber for RB25DET R34 . If you make them out SS will absorb heat too much !!! actually bet the temps will be higher then the lack of airbox ? unless its aluminum ???

My designs have a top that can be removed for the defect police and the second generation will be two carbon fiber snorkles into a KN style filter a hi volume factory box completely sealed off from below as well and include heat shield option on the back side.

should have mine done for the car show in loxton, dual snorkles

This carbon one sounds even more advertising... How muchies approx?

Im not selling them yet..lol but If I did around 300 for option 1, option 2 400ish

can make some for other models with a donor car for exact molds to AFM, connection points

will be using aircraft type fasteners , half turn to remove , quick release similar to below

Im sure that the Clark rubber heat resistant adhesive foam would counteract the head absorption by not letting the heat affect the air going into the pod. I dont think it is that expensive either, need to get some for my airbox.

Definantely like the look of this set up, but I agree the material is probably wrong.

They look like a pretty smart setup, would like to use them on a whole heap of spots that the crappy plastic ones are. Do they make a version of these for thin panels? It looks like those need something fairly thick to lock into.

I got mine from just jap, had to make a few mods for my pod setup but it does the job.

The also make them in carbon.

these are made for aircraft aluminum skins , so they come in all sorts of sizes, I just grabbed the first example for photo purposes

they only take a half turn to remove them, also come in straight slot screws for use with 5 cent coins , roadside removal ??

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
