I went out to Bunnings and bought myself some aluminium and made my own shield up. It was more for hiding the pods from the cops than anything else. In the end of the day it looked OK but wasn't very secure at all and I think the cops would still question it and if they were to fiddle around with it they would realise it was a bodgey job.

The winner of Autosalon magazine's SCOTY is a BNR32 GT-R and it's complete'y road legal. He has twin pods but they are enclosed in a custom fibreglass airbox which was made by Jetspeed in Moorebank.

I called Jetspeed and they said they could make one up for me. I would have to leave the car with them for 2 days though as they would need it for day to take measurements and another day to wait for the fibreglass to set before installing it.

Looks awesome. I really want to get it done. I just have to get off my arse and get over to Moorebank which is far away for me (I am lazy with distances!).

If anyone knows of a place close to the city that can make up a fibreglass or custom airbox that would look PRO please speak up for the good of all!

Here's to no more defects!

Danny is this you from the OzHonda site too? I didn't know you owned an R32!

$150 for the box sounds about right. It will look a lot better than the one I made up. Check the other thread on this forum about the CAI box. I used it to make my own box up. Use carboard first, then use the carboard as a template. Easy.

      Seemed to be good when Jeff owned it but they did a shit job on my car, probably worth a think before spending 10's of thousands of dollars where they might be cutting corners

      Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.

      DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
