hey guys. just a quick question. how do so many people get away with having a pod + intercooler? i dont want to put the stock air box back in but its looking like i have too now i have a big front mount. Also, the intercooler pieping run's pretty dam close to where the stock box sits. so is there any other way i can keep both? by making a cover for the pod etc or any ideas?

thanks.

is this for defect needs or personal hahaha..

defect. (depending where you are) there are rules about pods/intercoolers

personally. FMIC and pod + heat shield & CAI is the best way to go IMO.

there should be room for both if thats what you mean as well even without sepearting them?

I asked a while ago, If putting fmic on and keeping stock airbox , you need to cut out some parts of the snorkel so that it can fit again!

I couldnt be bothered cutting it, so Im retainig ym unifilter pod and airbox set up.

Its not exactly bad having the stock airbox...as long as u can get it to fit i don't see why you would need a pod...a hi flow panel would work fine...if u must have a pod...hide it inside the stock airbox...skylines are lucky to have large airboxes which can accomodate some pods...its probably beneficial to have the box there to shield the pod from hot air anyway...you can choose to cut out the base of the airbox too to allow more air flow in as well...i've done it...works well...

I've got permits for the fmic and pod filter (I'm in WA) but am looking to shield the pod somehow. Was going to put it inside a standard airbox but upon closer inspection I think it will foul with the fmic piping, so I'm going to get some cardboard and sheetmetal and knock up a simple barrier, probably open at the top.

      Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too.

      Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.

      Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.

      Wish someone would start a racing series for Group A replica cars, a bit like Touring Car Masters but for 1985 onwards and not grandpa's falcon and/or Monaro. I know they race in some historic class but that's for original cars, no replicas allowed.
