i dont really have a choice to take the stock airbox off, i need a pod to clear the cooler pipes.

and i will cover it all i want because what the cops cant see cant defect you on.

Firstly, its the snorkel thats in the way, not the airbox, so you don't NEED a pod to clear your pipes, unless you have the most stupid custom pipe set up available...

Secondly, do you really believe they cant defect you for what they can't see? If they see a non factory airbox, then they know there's a pod under it...You're not fooling anyone...

I'm sure you don't need me to tell you that fitting the stock airbox and removing the snorkel, so as not to impede the cooler piping is the easiest option...but you'd have worked that out for yourself already right...

mate u own a r34? do u own a r34 with the same cooler? do u own a r34 with the same piping position? no.......i didnt think so.....so mate dont tell me what dosnt fit in my car.....cheeers :domokun:

Safe to say that any R32/R33/R34 with a hybrid style kit is essentially, exactly the same. In fact, traders sell the same kit to fit each of these 3 models. I'll assume you have a hybrid or hybrid style kit because if you had a Blitz/ARC/Apex cross flow kit, nothing would be in the way of any cooler piping :P

Going to put my 2c worth in :domokun:

Basically Andru was just asking for an airbox moulder and was not asking if it was legal. As he stated that his standard airbox did not fit, there is no doubt that he had looked into it before he bothered to post up about a custom airbox. Im sure if the box fix when he tried/researched, this thread wouldn't have even been made.

As he believed he had no other option, a custom airbox may have been the possible alternative for his problem.

R31Nismoid your comment about excessive was not needed as I believe it was just a direct attack for a minor comment he put in his first post. We are not hear to judge the actions of others, more so to help them if they have any questions. Regardless, perhaps TopStage may have left some kind of notice/answering message of their closure due to a holiday.

If people just stick to answering the original question (topstage open and/or where another box can be moulded) then this argument wouldnt be happening.

Although, Andru should show some respect to others when an opinion is given.

Cheers

You're missing the point, people are trying to educate him that covering a pod does not make it legal.

mmm guess i didnt make myself clear, i meant was when HE tried to fit it he was unsuccessful. He wasnt taking an attack at the people offering different methods. As expressed by you in the previous post and Cheez who showed an alternative.

It's the pointless attacks and the 10 people saying the same thing which had no relation to resolving his problem :domokun: 10 people saying its illegal will not make the airbox magically fit...

Edit;

This thread should have stopped at the first reply as it was the direct answer to the thread. Cheers to Nismo Racer :P

how does go f**k yourself sound?

you posted a question, and i answered it to the best of my ability.

ive noticed that you always ask questions, and when you get answers, you so defensive and get on your high horse.

if you dont want answers off here then f**k off. no point in being a smartass, coz in the end, no one will give you any help.

i wasnt having a go at you, just trying to help.

just thought it was wierd that u couldnt fit an airbox over the piping

wow man cry me a river....damnnn....chill out man......dont have to get all serious lol, listen mate all u have been doing is giving me answers to questions i havnt asked, i asked for a air box maker, not about wether its legal or not.....im sorry if ive offended you in any way JVP lol.....

you obviously cant read as well.

before cheez posted up his "modified" airbox, i asked you that question.

i can read mate, but i can also ignore :D

I'm getting the feeling some people might have a hostility against anDru just because he is young and has a R34?

thats kinda true but i also have made some funny threads and ppl cant seem to let go so they use me as a joke lol. i dont mind really as long as i get my questions answered, although sometimes i wonder why...... :P

well, he asked for help, and we gave him some answers.

then he becomes a smartass because i dont own an r34 gtt, therefore i know nothing about his car.

if he doesnt want help, he should post.

i could have ignored the topic, but i didnt, i chose to give him some help.

ill admit, i dont own an r34, and yes, i dont know much about them, but i do know, that the airbox can be modified in some sort of way.

and i know its illegal to have a pod and a FMIC

/end rant

fair comment there my friend, but seriously mate, u really didnt know what u were tlakin about, that dosnt mean ur a master at ur car and i would never tell u wat fits in ur car cuz i wouldnt know.

cheers newai :domokun:

No Jannisary/or whatever ur username is.

People are helping, and they are just getting it thrown back in thier faces.

Why would you get one defecting item, to "attempt" to clear another when infact its still illegal.

seems that nismoid u have a problem understanding, so ill give u an example. if i went into the supermarket and asked how much your coconuts were, would u tell me how to cook them? or maybe would u tell me that your peaches are much sweeter? or would u answer my question and tell me they are $1.95?

come on guys seriouslY? wats goin on here?

You're missing the point, people are trying to educate him that covering a pod does not make it legal.

LOL mate, i dont think your getting the point, the question is WHERE I CAN FIND A AIR BOX MAKER, not about how covering a pod is not legal

Rekin - refer to the many past threads of his, you'll see what i mean

anDru, is there any further point to this thread. You know its illegal, you know freddy is back in town... and all you can do is have cracks at people like all other threads you create and people tell you you might be incorrect/

I think anDru has the all time record for threads that have been locked.

LOL mate, i dont think your getting the point, the question is WHERE I CAN FIND A AIR BOX MAKER, not about how covering a pod is not legal

Actually no, you said you wanted one to clear a defect. You cant actually clear a defect with one... which is what people are trying to inform you.

But as usual, your more interested in spamming posts and not reading

well im still trying to call freddy and still no peep, and i would like to compare prices or even see some other types of work.

I think anDru has the all time record for threads that have been locked.

to bad we dont have a catagoery for the awards thingo at SAU huh? :domokun:

im telling u nismoid if i box this pod up im gonna clear it, if it didnt why the hell am i so determined?

okai i tell u what nismoid....if i clear this defect with a boxed up air box....u give me ur admin rights, but if im wrong ill never use this forum ever again. deal?

Edited by anDru
lol, can we ever have a conversation or a debate that wont end in an arguement or dezz, arguing until he is right :domokun:

lol at Dezz comment :P

haha yeah i know, AnDru is just being a noob but he is still being paid out for his mistakes in the past. (whether he has learnt from his mistakes is another question all together)

He still being a noob and should just drop this discussion before it gets worse. You've got your answers now, let us post whores do our work now :rofl:

Havent had an interesting discussion with Dezz for a while :D

Edit:

okai i tell u what nismoid....if i clear this defect with a boxed up air box....u give me ur admin rights, but if im wrong ill never use this forum ever again. deal?

You just ruined it all with that comment. GL HF. Might want a bigger shovel for that hole u digging :rofl:

okai i tell u what nismoid....if i clear this defect with a boxed up air box....u give me ur admin rights, but if im wrong ill never use this forum ever again. deal?

Okay. how about i do you a deal then.

I'll just ban you. Then we never have to see another muppet thread of yours again?

Okay. how about i do you a deal then.

I'll just ban you. Then we never have to see another muppet thread of yours again?

yeh see no shiet....here comes the....shutup or ill ban u....far out nismoid no offence u throw your power around like ur god. you know im right.....wat ever man......im gonna boot cuz ill be honest i dont wanna get banned but nismoid u need to chill...and shrink that big head of yours

Actually no, you said you wanted one to clear a defect. You cant actually clear a defect with one... which is what people are trying to inform you.

Bingo.

lol at Dezz comment :domokun:

haha yeah i know, AnDru is just being a noob but he is still being paid out for his mistakes in the past. (whether he has learnt from his mistakes is another question all together)

lol at your useless 2c post.

He wasn't being paid out for anything, some people read the first post and realised what he was attempting to do (clear a defect with a defectable mod) and tried to let him know that it wasn't the best option. He didn't want to listen, so some people flamed him.

anyone else also think this is better than tv?

andru has organised a roadworthy, a legit one, we've (me and andrew) have asked the guy if a custom airbox will be legit and he told us it would be, as long as its boxed up.

and whats with all the hostility? he can get it cleared with the custom air box, he doesnt want to modify the stock one, so let it go, it aint happening. the thread was about getting a custom one made up .

JVP, you told him to use a custom one, he said it wasnt happening, you told him again to sue the stock one, with a smart arse attidutde ("custom omg carbon fibre" were your exact words i believe), then you have a tantrum when he retaliates in kind.

R31 nismoid... off topic but didnt you get like 50% of the votes in that thread about who you hate most on SAU? not having a go at you, just couldnt find that thread and wanted an update

andru has organised a roadworthy, a legit one, we've (me and andrew) have asked the guy if a custom airbox will be legit and he told us it would be, as long as its boxed up.

So he can get a roadworthy with his custom box, but please don't call it a legit one, as it's clearly not. :domokun:

    • I did end up getting it sorted, as GTSBoy said, there was a corroded connection and wire that needed to be replaced. I ended up taking out the light assembly, giving everything a good clean and re-soldered the old joints, and it came out good.
    • Wow, thanks for your help guys 🙏. I really appreciate it. Thanks @Rezz, if i fail finding any new or used, full or partial set of original Stage carpets i will come back to you for sure 😉 Explenation is right there, i just missed it 🤦‍♂️. Thanks for pointing out. @soviet_merlin in the meantime, I received a reply from nengun, and i quote: "Thanks for your message and interest in Nengun. KG4900 is for the full set of floor mats, while KG4911 is only the Driver's Floor Mat. FR, RH means Front Right Hand Side. All the Full Set options are now discontinued. However, the Driver's Floor Mat options are still available according to the latest information available to us. We do not know what the differences would be, but if you only want the one mat, we can certainly see what we can find out for you". Interesting. It seems they still have some "new old stock" that Duncan mentioned 🤔. I wonder if they can provide any photos......And i also just realized that amayama have G4900 sets. I'm tempted too. 
    • Any update on this one? did you manage to get it fixed?    i'm having the same issue with my r34 and i believe its to do with the smart entry (keyless) control module but cant be sure without forking out to get a replacement  
    • So this being my first contribution to the SAU forums, I'd like to present and show how I had to solve probably one of the most annoying fixes on any car I've owned: replacing a speedometer (or "speedo") sensor on my newly acquired Series 1 Stagea 260RS Autech Version. I'm simply documenting how I went about to fix this issue, and as I understand it is relatively rare to happen to this generation of cars, it is a gigantic PITA so I hope this helps serve as reference to anyone else who may encounter this issue. NOTE: Although I say this is meant for the 260RS, because the gearbox/drivetrain is shared with the R33 GTR with the 5-speed manual, the application should be exactly the same. Background So after driving my new-to-me Stagea for about 1500km, one night while driving home the speedometer and odometer suddenly stopped working. No clunking noise, no indication something was broken, the speedometer would just stop reading anything and the odometer stopped going up. This is a huge worry for me, because my car is relatively low mileage (only 45k km when purchased) so although I plan to own the car for a long time, a mismatched odometer reading would be hugely detrimental to resale should the day come to sell the car. Thankfully this only occurred a mile or two from home so it wasn't extremely significant. Also, the OCD part of me would be extremely irked if the numbers that showed on my dash doesn't match the actual ageing of the car. Diagnosing I had been in communication with the well renown GTR shop in the USA, U.P.garage up near University Point in Washington state. After some back and forth they said it could be one of two things: 1) The speedometer sensor that goes into the transfer case is broken 2) The actual cluster has a component that went kaput. They said this is common in older Nissan gauge clusters and that would indicate a rebuild is necessary. As I tried to figure out if it was problem #1, I resolved problem #2 by sending my cluster over to Relentless Motorsports in Dallas, TX, whom is local to me and does cluster and ECU rebuilds. He is a one man operation who meticulously replaces every chip, resistor, capacitor, and electronic component on the PCB's on a wide variety of classic and modern cars. His specialty is Lexus and Toyota, but he came highly recommended by Erik of U.P.garage since he does the rebuilds for them on GTR clusters.  For those that don't know, on R32 and R33 GTR gearboxes, the speedometer sensor is mounted in the transfer case and is purely an analog mini "generator" (opposite of an alternator essentially). Based on the speed the sensor spins it generates an AC sine wave voltage up to 5V, and sends that via two wires up to the cluster which then interprets it via the speedometer dial. The signal does NOT go to the ECU first, the wiring goes to the cluster first then the ECU after (or so I'm told).  Problems/Roadblocks I first removed the part from the car on the underside of the transfer case (drain your transfer case fluid/ATF first, guess who found out that the hard way?), and noted the transfer case fluid was EXTREMELY black, most likely never changed on my car. When attempting to turn the gears it felt extremely gritty, as if something was binding the shaft from rotating properly. I got absolutely no voltage reading out of the sensor no matter how fast I turned the shaft. After having to reflow the solder on my AFM sensors based on another SAU guide here, I attempted to disassemble the silicone seal on the back of the sensor to see what happened inside the sensor; turns out, it basically disintegrated itself. Wonderful. Not only had the electrical components destroyed themselves, the magnetic portion on what I thought was on the shaft also chipped and was broken. Solution So solution: find a spare part right? Wrong. Nissan has long discontinued the proper sensor part number 32702-21U19, and it is no longer obtainable either through Nissan NSA or Nissan Japan. I was SOL without proper speed or mileage readings unless I figured out a way to replace this sensor. After tons of Googling and searching on SAU, I found that there IS however a sensor that looks almost exactly like the R33/260RS one: a sensor meant for the R33/R34 GTT and GTS-T with the 5 speed manual. The part number was 25010-21U00, and the body, plug, and shaft all looked exactly the same. The gear was different at the end, but knowing the sensor's gear is held on with a circlip, I figured I could just order the part and swap the gears. Cue me ordering a new part from JustJap down in Kirrawee, NSW, then waiting almost 3 weeks for shipping and customs clearing. The part finally arrives and what did I find? The freaking shaft lengths don't match. $&%* I discussed with Erik how to proceed, and figuring that I basically destroyed the sensor trying to get the shaft out of the damaged sensor from my car. we deemed it too dangerous to try and attempt to swap shafts to the correct length. I had to find a local CNC machinist to help me cut and notch down the shaft. After tons of frantic calling on a Friday afternoon, I managed to get hold of someone and he said he'd be able to do it over half a week. I sent him photos and had him take measurements to match not only the correct length and notch fitment, but also a groove to machine out to hold the retentive circlip. And the end result? *chef's kiss* Perfect. Since I didn't have pliers with me when I picked up the items, I tested the old gear and circlip on. Perfect fit. After that it was simply swapping out the plug bracket to the new sensor, mount it on the transfer case, refill with ATF/Nissan Matic Fluid D, then test out function. Thankfully with the rebuilt cluster and the new sensor, both the speedometer and odometer and now working properly!   And there you have it. About 5-6 weeks of headaches wrapped up in a 15 minute photo essay. As I was told it is rare for sensors of this generation to die so dramatically, but you never know what could go wrong with a 25+ year old car. I HOPE that no one else has to go through this problem like I did, so with my take on a solution I hope it helps others who may encounter this issue in the future. For the TL;DR: 1) Sensor breaks. 2) Find a replacement GTT/GTS-T sensor. 3) Find a CNC machinist to have you cut it down to proper specs. 4) Reinstall then pray to the JDM gods.   Hope this guide/story helps anyone else encountering this problem!
