hey all

long time no chat!!

as some of you may or may not know, i used to make aluminium airboxes, heres the original thread.

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...ic=75876&st=100

as some of you may or may not know, i stopped making them due to lack of energy involved.. i spent all my free time on them and being a mechanic at a busy dealership during the day, i just didnt have the energy to get them done... and then i moved house, now im set up in the new house and have changed from being a mechanic and am now in spare parts, which is cruisy and less stressful.

ive been talking to some people and am going to get the boxes cut a sheet metal fabrication shop, that was the hardest part, cuttin them out neat.. with them pre cut, all i have to do is bend, put together, and polish and also mean i can do more boxes for more people and more cars.

im trying to find out about anodizing, i was goin to do it myself but its a lot of work and need alot of room. so if i can find mob that do it, they boxes will be available in anodized colours, which will look sick.

bare with me all, things are under way and will be better than before.

thanks to all the people who have supported me and sorry to those who have sent pms which have takin me ages to reply to, i havent been on this site for a while, now i have the energy, im having a red hot go at making this work.

cheers

Linton

    • There are black hose clamps as well if you care. Plazmaman for example sells some: https://plazmaman.com/product/black-hose-clamps-premium-quality-stainless-breeze/
    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
