R32 Gtr Cai Airboxes

[hanyou]

hey guys jus a heads up, ive been looking for a CAI box for my 32 gtr but cant seem to find one but last night i did.. heres a link to the place

http://www.jsai.com.au/

it cost $70 for the airbox... cheap insurance for not getting defected for ur pods and also keeps the engine heat out

Considering there is no picture, I would bet for that price its just one of those flimsy thin plastic jobs, not a proper solid air box.

Yeah what Nick said

Have you bought one? if so, can you post pics please? cheers

[hanyou]

havnt bought it as yet gna go there next week. yeah the guy has sent me pics.. yeah blitz your right it looks pretty thin from the pics...for me tho its mainly to not get defected and the cai part of it would be secondary lol. here the pics

good if your not gifted to fabricate your own or jus lazy, although i remember buying a r33 gtst airbox from UAS cost $199 and looks the same, so price wise i think its good.

[hanyou]

ah the $199 airboxes from UAS was made in fibreglass.. the plastic version is $110. so still a good price @ $70 for gtr spec.

From the pic from the front angle, you can see the pod pretty easily

[Blitz]

True.

If an police officer is looking for a pod filter, that box isnt going to guarantee that you will avoid a defect.

The box in the pic also looks silver, I would be inclined to go for black but thats just me

yes it looks quite good. does it fit with apexi pods?

[benm]

I need/want a box pretty badly but cant justify spending $200 on an aluminium box or $400 on an ARC box, this could be cheap enough to 'get by' for the mean time unless anyone else can think of a better idea...

A local fabricator said he could get his apprentice to knock up some boxes (to fit the apexi induction kit) for me but unsure what they would cost until I got atleast 1 done.

[Blitz]

yes it looks quite good. does it fit with apexi pods?

I highly doubt it

Thus why Apexi make their own boxes to suit with the raised section to accomodate their power intake filters

[Beer Baron]

yeah word to that. but they charge $1K for it d'oh!

[hanyou]

im actually going there next week and his gna trial fit it for me.. ive also got apexi power intakes.. will let you guys know how it goes..

oh and with the pod showing i will definently be covering that part by other means of course

[N1GTR]

Yeah ley us know how it all goes

Ive got an ARC box at the moment, but id love to put the pods back on and get some more sound out of it

Who knows if "M's" pods and Apexi are the same size/dimensions? (i doubt it)

[hanyou]

no worries will do!

[Blitz]

Steve I am pretty sure that M's pods are larger in overall size than the Apexi power intake pods, but I may be wrong.

Crap i have M's pods too

[N1GTR]

Thanks Nick

Ill measure mine up (easy, theyre off the car) if you or anyone else reading this thread knows the dimensions, could you post them up here? Cheers

[Blitz]
