Nah dude.

Hmm, I gave you a chance now youve failed me again.

Please just use your bucket for bucket purposes.

whats with ppl from wa?

i'm just having a laugh while messing around with a cheap bucket, i've seen good airbox setups and i make one when i get paid and my mate gets back from holidays (we'll make one for my stag and his 33)

i also got distracted while taking the coil cover (to lower coil temps) off this arvo and decided to do this to entertain a mate who joked about taking my bov of (same result, no air leaks)

lighten up

Umm, we use our buckets for mopping and various other leisurely activities.

Coolism. Seen this on youtube, let me know wen you get a plumback bov. :D

My advice is stick with the factory one. No harm intended. Interesting topic though regarding CAI.

What you could do is remove the headlight and install a bucket in its spot like a giant air scoop to guide it to the filters bucket.

Maybe you could cut another bucket up to use as a coilpack cover. :( red will make it faster. black will hide it from the cops better :D

I might be wrong here but I would be a bit nervous using bucket plastic as a blocking plate for a bov. What if some of the plastic breaks off from the pressure and ended up in the pipework. Would hate to see a laugh turn ugly.

seeing as there =plastic blanking plate can only deflect a max of a few mm i dont think its gonna break

and normality will be restored once my mate gets back from holidays and we'll make some proper air boxes

tom, redo it all in metal

I made up a metal blanking bov plate yrs ago:

I found it best to have a small drill hole in the middle to help air escape on low rpm situations (saves car from stalling)

anyways, Im going to try this with a thick metal bucket, some heat-resistant foam, wouldnt mind adding a bucket lid too, to enclose the pod entirely

I'll cut the bucket in the middle all round, slide it into itself so its half size but double thickness, and go from there. that way a lid could fit onto the lipped end still

:D

i used to make aluminium air boxs on my cnc router that made it legal for 32 and 33 gtst it made 12rwkw difference on the dyno at unigroup its surprising how much power you can make with it. if i end up getting my stagea ill make one up and sell them for around 80 bucks they looked pretty trick i can also engrave stuff on there like nismo n shit ill post something up when i do this guys

that would be sick, i'd love to do a metal one but my metal skills aren't that good

only think i've noticed thats different to a skyline is that the rad overflow is on that side and the filler hole is quite low = easy to be covered and then hard to be refilled

    • It can't be some stupidly proprietary video signal coming out of it that only Nissan's can understand. Surely you can just find some generic camera to stuff in there and use hot melt glue/blu-tac/gaffer tape to hold it in place if need be?
    • Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.   
    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
    • Maybe SAUNSW could see howany members would do a motorkhana day if Schofield's is still available for a reasonable price...
