Help with cai partition on GTR

[Micko]

Has anyone got a template to make a partition for the pods on a 32 GTR?

The car is a real slouch on hot days thanks to the under bonnet temps & my efforts so far have been average to say the least:uh-huh:

Cheers,

Mike.

Slouch ??? SLOUCH !!

Gees , first ya call it a jaffey jalopy and now you say it's a slouch.

This is obviously a relative term cos it will still hose a 33gtst fat spec.

hehehe.

Told ya , put the std box in with K+N , no blowoff booooshhhh but no hot air either.

Cheers

PS Thats not actually a kiss mike , it's stands for keep it simple stupid.

PPS I didn't mean to say your stupid it's just a figure....... ohhh never mind:lol:

Fair call Ken - should've just asked you in the first place:uh-huh:

Can't live without the sound of the pods though - so I'm gonna have to do something about it:p

Thanks,

Mike.

BTW - I didn't literally mean slouch - still goes very well methinks:D

Just another satisfied customer at the end of the day;)

Ditto what Kenneth has said, but if you must keep the pods keep persevering with the CAI.

besides where yeah u gonna cut the hole?

Hi guys, this what I did to make a master for my first CAI. I bought one from www.uniqueautosports.com.au. cost $95. I used it to make a carboard master and then sold it (looking brand new) for $80. Best $15 I ever spent.

OK this is not a GTR but the principle is the same, built it from aluminium, powder coated it and also use a bit of 90mm PVC pipe to feed some cold air in from the lower bumper.

Nice job!

I was thinking of taking the air in near the bonnet like the factory airbox though - that way I don't need to poke any extra holes.

Very nice airbox mate! I'll be building one for my n/a 2.4L soon.

[vspec2]

You've got a nice box there turbomad...hmm that didn't sound quite right.

Anyway for a GTR there's alot less room to work with and it depends on the Filter kit you have as well. I'll be building one up soon for my Trust pods..I'll keep you posted.

me too me too..

CAS said $295 cause they have to custom make it...and they said they do it for $295 (acting as thats cheap) because they wouldnt mind to have a template for them selves...grr...

i used to have one but i got a pair of Z32's and different sized pods so the one i have now is good for paperweight. when i finally get my piping sorted, i'll try again. meggala sez you can get some stuff from clarke rubber. i had a look at that stuff and its quite ok... so durable flexible stuff with an aluminium side... other than that, i may just use some left over aluminium i got and make another from that... other stuff i was considering is maybe modify the std airbox so it looks stock.... etc..

[turbomad]

I'm glad you like my box boys!

Yes I agree it would be harder fitting 2 pods in a box, make it out of cardboard first then trace it onto aluminium.

[uLa32]

damn its hard! at the end of it all, it just got too messy... sure it was partitioned off but it looked unfinished... it looks like you sandwiched the partition with the adapter and the afm? what size is it turbomad? looks nice and neat!

[turbomad]

Yes the AFM is held to the partition by the adapter, the length is basically the entire distance from the strut tower to the front of the car and the width was determined by where the AFM ended off the intake pipe/rubber hose thing.

Well, I think this project is going on the backburner for a while cos it's just too damn hard at the moment.

When I do something about it I will post some pics.

Thanks for the input people.

Cheers,

Mike.

hey mike,

I got a meter of that heat sheild foam from clark rubber, it would be easy to cut to fit the area and you could then use it as a template for a metal one after. In the mean time it would do the job very well indeed. about $23 a meter.
