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

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

hey guys, due to the different lid design, i have to buy some extra bits, which incurs a price rise to you guys....sorry, but its either a price rise for parts, or a price rise for labour. me personally, would rather, a price rise for parts. hehehe sorry bout dat.

airboxes will now be $130, sorry but it has to be done.

ive got a heap im making, will be ready to send out by the end of the week.

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..

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

    • It's worth looking at Neil's garage thread, he was super organised (as you'd expect). He had a simple bunnings narrow shelving rack with tubs, each tub numbered, each number had a manifest. Of course, only about half the parts had made it to that system, and he had random stuff from old projects like kawasaki triples and even a Bultaco (a wtf? I said). I really don't want to throw stuff like that because it is irreplaceable, but it's also hard to know who could use it without spending a heap of time I don't have on research. Not co-incidentally, I've recently decided to try and move on some parts too, either random non-skyline stuff like S13 axles or anything R32 that I had more than 2 spares of (yes, I have a lot of space and a lot of spares). Most of the stuff is on commercial racking which is too deep for practical use for loose spares. Where possible stuff is in plastic tubs (various sizes) to keep critters from eating them. The whole place is a disaster for the poor person who has to clean it out when I'm gone. For the R32 spares, I aim to have one ready to go spare (eg rebuilt gearbox, engine, driveshafts, hubs, control arms etc) and one ready to prep spare.  Even so I've ended up with lots of 3rd or more spares and I'd rather see someone else keep their car on the road. Also I've ended up with some interior stuff like boot trims and floor mats I'll never need. So, I'm about to re-enter the painful world of online selling. I'm not on facebook (and won't be) so that is not an option, I'll start a thread on here for R32 stuff and people who need something can find it. I don't really need to throw anything for space reasons, but I somehow doubt the Greddy Rebec III will be in high demand. Oh, and I've got heaps of bench space and heaps of racking.....but still the bench is covered in half done or about to start jobs, I really need to get it better under control but time is an issue
    • This is the current antenna, 4g bands are the ones I'm after, particularly the Telstra long range one which I think is 850Mhz? It has an SMA connector to a 3 way splitter, one runs to the Cel Fi and 2 to a USB 4g wifi stick The problem is not the antenna, the problem is that the V37 has a slightly smaller gap between the rear windshield and the body which prevents the line from being tucked away under it as it was in the Fuga. Therefore, I have about a meter of cable that I can't adequately secure running down the outside of the car to enter the boot....I figure I need to use a roof mount antenna instead and run the cable inside the car The other option I'll look at is removing the factory shark fin (which I assume is factory GPS, which is crap, I use TomTom app on my phone) and I'll bet there is already a hole in the roof under that I could use. Any alternative approach is very much welcome!

    • Thanks Komdotkom, I would take you up on that offer, but the cost of shipping to NZ would be horrible. 
    • So what I hear from Rob and Mark is, Matt needs to stay the hell away from your places when you choose to do cleanups, for fear my hoarding will get worse, as Ill likely find things to suit some of the projects I want to build... As for ditching stuff like Mark does, I wish I could do it so easily mate, but lots of my spares are for the R33 and I'm slightly attached to them...   However, I was staring at the pile of subs, 2 for the car, 2 for a home audio system and thinking I'll likely just ditch those... That's. A lot of space back...   I must hurry up and finish the Subaru, and then the skyline... That's probably get some space back...   But my main take away is, other than big plastic tubs, and some sort of categorising what you have in each, no one has found a good solution, that takes up the minimal amount of space possible?   And Rob, I've been wanting a mezzanine, and have been tempted to put one in, but I'm borderline not enough height, and secondly, I hate heights! (No good spot for stairs, so it'd either be fold up stairs, or a ladder, of which I hate ladders and can't carry the bigger stuff up).
