I bet I could go around every ones skyline and spot mods with no benefits other than visual .........

Edit: This one https://www.justjap.com/store/product.php?productid=17670&cat=272&page=3

Sent you a PM

Approval Application:

(1)What is it? Air Pod cover -http://justjap.com/store/product.php?productid=17671&cat=&page=3

(2)Why do you want it? Because CF is not allowed and red is matching the base colour - also to have a bit more "Fill" effect in the bay

(3)How much? $150 + postage

(4)Scale of want/need from 1 - 10 (1 being want and 10 being need): 4

(5)What is product made of? Metal?

(6)did you seek approval previously (if not skip question 7)

(7)What was the result and reasoning? Wanted a CF one but apparently it's to wank factor.

If you guys could please sign off on this?

lol... Forget the haters Jeremy!

If you want the box put it in. I'm looking to put one in soon too, car came with pod filter so thinking about this box to make it less appealing to defect police.. Thought about making one, but after spending cash on tools needed and perspex, etc. might just try find a used one. They are on ebay for about $100 also. Not like it has to be high quality =)

dude i told you dont worry about the pod filter it actully gives 0kw gains if not it just gives you more heat soak. The stock intakes are actually a nailed design. Ive been trying to convince him just to go without the certificate. Its not November yet the worst thing that would happen is that yo have to go again im not sure if you have a number of times that you can try to get cleared. Id be guessing three times.

I believe 0kw is true but is throttle response a little crisp/responsive?

Also is heat soak much of issue......doesn't the air run through the intercooler before the the TB? I know at idle or low speed it will make a difference but not enough to affect a daily driver, surely?

I am a noob at the RBs but I have come from modding a supercharged v6 where a w2a is mainly used and the blower sitting on the intake manifold has a lot of heat soak and it is comonly discussed.

Not trying to be a smart ass just trying to learn a little.

I was also looking at one Jeremy.

Stock airbox sucks cold air, but has a small intake.

With exrta holes cut its less restrictive.

0$ upgrade that works.

Unboxed pods suck hot air.

No good.

A box can be as cheap as $10-$20.

Yea I can see how warm air is sucked in with out this box thing mentioned above, but with the pods enclosed surely it isn't that bad?

When at speed, there wouldn't be that much hot air, but standing still etc there would be more soak.

It's interesting 10 minutes after a drive to remove the shield and feel the Pod. Definately cooler than with no shield.

I need to trim my NAP Custom Shield a little after pulling my cooler out for cleaning, everything went back together just a little differently and it currently doesn't fit. :(

    • Seeing as it's an 04 model, I would be hitting up wreckers first.
    • No not yet.  Hopefully this weekend if I can pluck up the confidence!  I had to sit in the car at one point yesterday to unbolt the rear struts.  As mentioned in an earlier post when I was putting it together there is still a bit of rotation possible so when I sat in the car, it rotated a little bit.  I near shit myself thinking the whole thing was coming down!  I do 99% of my own shit in the shed but I think I might call on some assistance the first time I spin it!
    • Strong first post. On a Skyline-centric forum. Have you considered actually going out into the world, visiting the actual dealership, and asking the parts guy over the counter? Or at least just call them up on the phone?
    • Should shit that in as for the driver ability probably not
    • Trying to find the plastic under cover for an 04' Forester X. The main under cover that covers most of the front of the vehicle under the engine. This has turned out to be a crazy experience. Normally I can find parts for vehicles, if I have the correct info, no problem. But not this! The Forester is a non-turbo btw. In a Forester parts catalog, for model years 03'-06', it shows part# 56410SA070 as being the correct part. So I go to the local Subaru dealership's website to order it. I type in the part#, hit search and there it is, the under cover. "DOES THIS PART FIT YOUR VEHICLE?" I type in my VIN# and sure enough, "This Part Does Not Fit Your Vehicle. See Similar Parts For Your Vehicle." I click on that and part# 56410SA000 comes up. Looks absolutely nothing like the previous part. Not even close. So I go to a different Subaru dealer website and put in that 2nd part# (56410SA000) and "This Part Has Been Replaced By" 56410SA070, which is the first part I looked up. I thought OK, makes sense. They replaced the strange looking part, with the one I looked up first, so I add it to the cart. "Does This Part Fit Your Vehicle?" I type in my VIN#, and sure enough, "This Part Does Not Fit Your Vehicle." I've basically been doing this with various parts suppliers and dealerships, for the past 4 hours! Does anyone know what the hell is going on?? Thanks in advance!
