NZM.031 Posted June 21, 2005 Author Share Posted June 21, 2005 hey guys. had a few dramas with these boxes.... the lids are so damn hard to fold neatly. ive come up with a new design, let me know what you think. if it does or doesnt worry you. ill be using counter sunk allen head screws, so they sit flush with the top, they will also be silver so they wont stand out. its just so hard to fold the edges over, doing it the other way means all i have to do is cut the shape out and bend some tabs over for mounting the lid. if you all want the original design, let me know, ill find another way to do it. cheers Linton Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/75876-garage-debris-airbox-pics-are-up/page/3/#findComment-1422016 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wink Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 I don't mind if the screws are held very securely and have no chance of coming loose.

NZM.031 Posted June 22, 2005 Author Share Posted June 22, 2005 yeh i know the bottom pic looks better dave, but its much harder to get a nice fold. you must remember also that the other pic is photoshopped. it will look much better than it does there. if you want the bottom pic, it requires more labour and more tidy up work. yeh the screws wont come loose. they havent ever for me, they arent under any stress or movement, so i dont see why they would. but anyway, they wont come loose. cheers Linton Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/75876-garage-debris-airbox-pics-are-up/page/3/#findComment-1423247 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Links Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 If you have any doubts as to whether it is legal - go onto the RTA website, and email their technical section, they got back to me quickly in regards to legality of turbo timers in NSW and i'm sure they will help you with this. They are the ones that monitor the rules and regs of what the ADR's are for NSW so i'd suggest contacting them.. The police are there to enforce them.. and in some cases.. very ruthlessly..

ido09s Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 are you sure its not defectable?!?! It looks great! wouldn't mind doing that with my car, if you're 100% sure its not defectable Normally about Sydney Moanie they will have to be engineered to be legal. Our engineer has passed all the ones we have fitted to cars and once engineered they are 100% legal. The only thing our engineer has said is that you may be required to do a drive by noise test to ensure the box isnt to loud :confused: damned if i know why but no one has been asked for one as yet Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/75876-garage-debris-airbox-pics-are-up/page/3/#findComment-1470123 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommyk Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Can you adapt these to fit a 33 GTR with twin 80mm Rb20/25 AFM's with apexi or HKS pods on the end ?

Freeman Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 So the price increase was for the additional parts for the new design, can you still buy the original design? I thought it looked MUCH better and it was cheaper!
