Well, miracles do happen, and in this case I finally got off my back side and made up a template for my cold air box.

All the pics, templates and instructions can be found here:

Any comments all welcome as I'm sure there are a few things I've left out that a few people might pick up on.

And if anyone has any input into the instructions please let me know and I'll add or modify them.

Thanks

Jayson

BTW, I haven't studied it too carefully yet (no time at the moment), but where is your cold air feed. You aren't using the old intercooler pipe as you've got a stock one, right?

When I make this up, I'll use the old pipe as the cold air pipe, but I'm just curious how yours is set up.

Cheers,

Mine sucks air from around the headlight, but as well as that I've cut a 80-90mm hole in the inner guard (there's a few pics of it on the web site) just to make sure it get's enough air.

Using the stock hole where the intercooler pipe was would be perfect. Just make sure it breaths OK and the hole is big enough.

LOL - yepp, the site should be up for a while yet....

If anyone isn't confident on making one I can cut one and post them off. But as the metal has cost me some $$$, I'll have to ask for some money for the metal, my time, and postage.

But I'd say anyone would be able to make it using that template, the hardest part would be installing it. Just really fiddly more than anything.

so as for feeding the cold air into the enclosure

youve got a hole into the wheel arch and a hole in the engine bay where the intercooler pipe goes??

im worried about the box gtting enough air but also that the air it gets isnt full of dirt/moisture eg kicked off the wheel or sucked up too low to the ground....

any suggestions as to how to 'feed' the air into the enclosure?

otherwise good work with the template, im having to modify slightly for an R32 but will keep the cardboard thing if you wonah post that on your site as a reference for all us 32 guys!!

Adam 32,

Have a good look at the pics on my site, you see that I've still got both intercooler pipes in place and how the filter breathes.

The filter breathes through the front of the box (hasn't got a front on it) from around the headlight. And then I put a hole into the inner guard just incase.

If you haven't got a black plastic inner guard around your wheel then you might get some crap come up to the hole.

I've got my plastic guard in place and I've been running the box and filter like that for about 9 months and the filter is still almost like new (I check it every 5000km when I do an oil change).

i did a partition yesterday, worked really well. after a big freeway run i felt the filter and its dead cold!! so thanks for the ideas, i duno about performance increases but i guess it may get better as i up the boost, its gotah be doing something!

just have to find a way to make the aluminium more reflective rather than absorbant cos it gets bloody hot after a while!

Sorry guys, looks like that address isn't hosting the templates anymore :P

I've zipped the pics and instructions up into three zip files, just download them and extract them all.

When you print the templates, just make sure you print them in full A4 size so you keep the original size.

Cheers

    • I used to have Walbro 255's when they were a pretty common update. (or were they 044? 040?) In any case I had a dirty tank. I thought the tank was good, but I would find the filter would clog in maybe ~50km of driving. If the issue persists, well, your fuel system or tank has crap in it that the pump is sucking up.
    • Hi. Ok thanks for the info. I/we do not know what tune is on that Nistune ECU so it is why there is stock ECU and that Nistune is for later when the car is done. I have guy who tunes Nistune and other ECU so i will then take it to him to see and properly tune for the car   And for the update. On 99,9% it is bad fuel pump. Which is wierd cuz it is like 2 years old(brand new walbro 255) and that filter (also brand new) was dirty.  I was alwaya pumped premium(100) on very good petrol station so i dont know how is that possible...  
    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here
