Hey all,

Just wondering if anyone or company sell's CAI box's for the twin pod setup on a gtr?

Im looking to buy one but i can only find ones to suit gtst's.

Any info is appreciated.

Cheers

Brendan

i would be very interested in this as well, because i can't be bothered to make one myself and won't get pods till i get a CAI box

Unique autosports make them. speak to John and tell him ze baron sent you!

if you don't like his try Advan. they don't have them on the shelf but will custom make to suit each application.

other than that the only viable option is to either make one yourself or go for an ARC airbox.

Or use the OEM airbox!!

yeah for sure. i just haven't seen too many 32 GTRs that still have them ;)

since I've had my car it's had:

old hks pods

new hks pods

new apexi power intake pods

arc airbox

back to apexi pods

i would like to try a stock box if someone is going to pods. i reckon it would be ok with a decent filter in it and maybe open up the intake a bit.

advan have cai boxes in their showroom, not sure if they have them ready to go for sale though. can't imagine it would be a problem for them to make the thing up if you told them what filters you have.

where can i see these advan ones?

do they have a website or something?

I'm designing a box right now!

I've got an R32 GTR with HKS pods on it now, but I also have an ARC airbox, and I am in the process of making a custom box. I'm not totally happy with the ARC box, so I'm making something better!

I have an excellent welder (aircraft engineer) who is happy to make one for me, and I may be able to get him to make a few more if interest is high enough. Also, my cousin owns a metal fabrication business so....

It will be made from aluminium sheet/plate, maybe each side welded together, or maybe some bends(professional/industrial press) and some welds; I'm thinking all welds though, as al doesnt bend too well. I may also look at getting it powdercoated/anodised? black for stealth look, or color maybe.

I'm doing it for R32 GTR at the moment, but I would also look at doing them for other models if interest is good..

If anyone is interested, give me a PM, and I'll keep you posted on whats happening.

i currently making one for my 32 gtr for apexi filters if anyone is intrested in one i might make up a couple. im also going to try and make one for a 32 gtst, if anyone has a gtst and they want one made i need a test/trial car. im making the gtr one out of stainless steel but i have made one for a xr8 out of stainless angle and perspex with a neon in it and the tickford logo engraved on the perspex so i might be able to do something like that for the skylines.

      R32GTR R200 reverting from Nismo centre to stock

      By djr81 · Posted

      It is possibly 55 degrees for the Nismo version. I had a look through the manual and the stocker has a breakaway torque of 2.5 to 3.5kgm. Supposedly the Nismo LSD goes down to 5kgm when worn in but it is pretty grabby even with very little throttle. Worse when cold. So I guess you have three things. 1. Shims. 2 Friction plates 3. Cams Would think shims would be the easiest but Ive no clue how many tenths of a mm shim thickness change equals how many kgm torque. Also not sure if the Nismo friction plates are similar/different to stock or if they are the most of the source of the diff being angry. Think I can write off the Nismo rebuild kit for the standard diff as not being what I want.

      Yeah, it was a bit of confusion with me, I rang and asked if they had a boot for a soft top, and then the paint shop when they rang and were asked if it had a hard top on it, which it does, just not a PRHT....LOL Meh, whilst frustrating for all concerned it isn't a war stopper and should be a thing of the past in a week or two In other N/A related news, car is booked in at the end of the month for the cams, springs, retainers, harmonic balancer and retune  I might even pull the lazy arse card and get them to do a full service on it whilst it is there

      Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.

      Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5

      Nah, I much prefer colour matched Talking about colour matching stuff, the new/used boot lid turned up, all painted up perfectly......aaaannnndddd, it's for a power retractable hard top, not a soft top.....LOL They are now sending a boot to fit a soft top.....,  whilst frustrating, life is like that sometimes, sometimes you just need to dodge, duck, dip, dive and, ummm, dodge.
