Fiberglass And Carbon Fibre Air Pod Covers....... Stay Legal


Recommended Posts

Please don't take this the wrong way because I am sure Josh is a nice bloke, but I am not driving from WA to NSW just to see him. Now that may show a lack of commitment on my behalf, but so be it. :laugh:

Thats cool all you gotta do is cut the hole for ur afm to link to the pod and drill four holes for the bolts.....

I'm interested in seeing a CF one for R32 GTR. like mr keets I have 32 GTR with Apexi Power intake kit (standard AFMs). $220 is a very fair price as long as it's good :laugh:

As i only own a r32 gts-t i cannot post pics of it in a r32 gtr???? however when i trial fit the carbon one in my car i will post pics...... All covers are similar only modification needed was hole for the AFM to pod link and the bolts to hold them to the cover itself..... then its a neat fit

i remember ring josh and ask how much the cf ones are , i think it was like $180 and i also saw them on ebay for $180 from josh

why all of a sudden he changed his prices

hey guys, josh is my name.

im the owner and founder of JSAI

seems to me there has been alot of interest in these items.

jason has been helping me out with getting these air box's out there.

Q&A:

Q-" why 220 for a cf air box"

A- in the last few months boeing jets have been producing the new air bus, which is mostly made out of cf.

and because of that, they have bought about 99% of the worlds cf.

before they did this cf was worth about $50-$80. now because it is harder to get the price has almost doubled. not to mention not may people have it in stock.

so, yes they were 180, as prices of materials go up, so must our retail price.

its the same as petrol!

im not here to rip anyone off, if anything im here to help, because like all forum members i loves cars aswell. and i started my business to offer products to the public that are user friendly and can be used on the road without getting hassled by the police.

Q " can i use the apexi pod kit"

A- yes you can you can pretty much use any pod set up, thats what it was designed for.

Q "the cover looks rough"

a- it looks rough because the part was unpainted and straight out of the mould.

thanks jason, keep up the good work.

@ Josh (JSAI)

Would you by chance be making anything like this;

nengun-0183-00-monster-carbon_fiber_intake_duct.jpg

I'm after something like this for a 33 gtst. It doesn't need to come down into the grill, just sit where the stock snorkel would. If you could make the snorkel accomodate FMIC return piping I'm sure you'd have a hit on your hands.

I called Josh basically he says no job is too big or too small....... Just give him a call and he is currently working on a mould for the nengun style ones as shown in above post

JSAI-worskshop:

unit 61, 575 woodville road guildford

open 7 days!!!!! and we are open till late most nights.

best to call me before you come in:

1. im always in and out picking up and dropping off

2. to check if your coming to pick up or want something fitted we have it in stock or we need an hour or two to make the item,

the air box of the evo, yes we can do something like that. if your in sydney best to come in, and we can show you some different ways of how we can go about it.

and to the beer barron, the apexi air box is where i go the basic idea from, but i modified it to be more universal.

I will try and come out and have a look this weekend. will give you a call. I'm keen to get something made in CF, but it has to be farken nice quality! I am a picky bastard. :laugh:

Same, Guildford is sort of accessable to west sydney. I'm too lazy to install the stock airbox I have in the garage, besides I like my pod. If I buy one of these Josh can install it for me. Bonus!

Hey.. i've got a R32 gtst with stock intercooler piping. That shouldnt be a prob right?

I must say the first post's pics look abit dodgy as the thing looks like it was just a piece of metal roughly cut and bent to fit (the face of the of the box doesn't look solid and is rather wavy/bent etc). Are these premade or does he make them per order?

I'm after something with a more solid construction. Plus how are these boxes secured and how far do the side walls of the box run?

If possible could you get some higher res pics of a carbon fibre airbox fitted and shots of it not fitted in different angles > preferrably for the R32 GTST to [email protected] .

I'm keen for a carbon fibre one as I don't want to paint a fibreglass one. The carbon ones should be a more solid construction right?

Sorry for the skepticism. I just want to buy a proper box once. I am genuinely interested in it though and am glad someone is finally doing something >_<

Cheers, Ben.

Hey Ben,

The first pics ive posted are of a fiberglass cover unpainted and straight out of the mould, pictures never do justice to the real deal. If u can go to JSAI in Guilford and have a look. The covers are made to order, you can spray them urself or pay a bit extra to get it done. The construction is solid, again u cannot see these things from a picture. The cover is bolted onto your existing setup so whatever AFM you have, the cover is modified to fit it. The rest of the cover fits in the gap between the body panel and engine bay, this can also be bolted down, however it is not necessary as the cover sits firmly. Pics have already been posted.

Regards,

Jason

    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
