Hey guys.

I am after some sort of enclosure for a pos setup or standard box.

Car is losing boost when the engine gets up to operating temp, and thinking that this will solve the problem, and make it leagal :P

I have checked around, and looking at eBay finding the right box for $400, but it seems abit much for some plastic.

If anyone can help point me in the right direction will be much appreciated.

Suggest split in one of the hoses that opens up in the warmth.

Wont be the heat of the engine warming the air going into your Pod - not from the symptoms you mention.

You can get a sheild which is cheaper rather than a CAB .

Ill have a look at the hoses when i have some light and report back.

Its an odd problem, the boost restrictor has been taken out and it boosts to just below 1bar then the the engine warms up and ill get half as much boost. I cant think of what it is doing it, and its the only thing i can think of.

Im open to any suggestions on how to fix it lol.

The other reason i would like an air box is that im going to get it roadworthied, and regoed in Vic when i go home for the holidays. But a shield does sound good, and will be open to any more info on that.

Your not using a T-piece to adjust boost are you ?

If your doing your RWC and Rego in Vic then your right persue the Stock box.

Mexicans are different to the ACT where it just needs to be securely braced.

Personally if your chasing down a boost leak I'd go new tubing, and check your intercooler piping is tight around the hose clamps.

It doesnt have a manual boost controller, the only thing that is changed is the lines, which were upgraded by the previous owner.

Im seriously considering getting it done here, but being in defence, its a pain in the ass when your constanly moving around. Im back in Vic next April then moving again next December. I can prove my address because i live on base, i had to get a statdeck when i bought my run around. If that will hold up i will do it here. Because of the easier rwc rules here.

The GTR is very clean and the boost problem is the only issue ive had. And am very fond of the social side of it too with this site.

      R32 gtst speedo out by 10kph

      Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.

      Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.

      Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .
