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

    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
