guys, FYI, this is an extract from the "For Sale" GUIDELINES posted by BLITZ

In particular, read #1 & 2 cause you're all at risk of a warning or ban at the moment.

Buyers

Recently, moderaters have been deleting too many stupid posts in the for sale section and as such, the following now apply:

1. Absolutely no "Free Bumps" or "Nice car wish I could afford it" comments - If you like what you see and you wish to compliment the seller, send them a pm smile.gif

Only post on the thread if you have a genuine question or are genuinely interested in the items being offered for sale

2. No price debates - put simply if you do not agree with the price being asked, do not comment on the thread. If you believe the seller is asking too much then either pm the thread starter or dont buy the items advertised - simple.

There is to be no "My cousin can get it for much less" or "Your asking too much" comments

Again comments such as the above will be deleted and if users persist in posting such comments, a warning will be issued

3. Lastly, in light of recent dodgy traders that have popped up, if you see a user or thread that you think is suspicious, pm a moderator or report the post immediately!! - Dont start throwing accusations around. Anyone that bad mouths any trader without proof will also be issued with a warning

Thanks for sticking up for me Andrew, this is why I just want to get this thread closed.. people just flame and flame.. never do it themselves and give me crap for what I do and try to share with others...

and satanic.... the prices were also high because each part was going to be measured and fit to suit the car.. ie.. what we did with mine, cardboard cutout for measurement for each part so that it would fit togther and be as strong as mine.

crap like your saying get some piece of sh*ty aluminium to hold the pod in place or not have it at all... these are skylines, not bloody excels... this is the reason why cops like my setup... it is sturdy... non of this tinsnip crap and aluminum sheet...

Im really sick of the smart asses on here who think they are know it alls, therefore I request that:

ADMINS PLEASE REMOVE/CLOSE THIS THREAD, I HAVE HAD ENOUGH.

I have had enough stupid comments come into my inbox about this thread and people replying in it.. I only put this up to help others, charged a slightly higher price then what was expected because each part would be customised for each car.

Obveously most people on here prefer tin snip jobs and defects for crappy parts or to just make nasty comments towards me.

ONCE AGAIN, PLEASE REMOVE THIS ENTIRE THREAD

Any chance you can make up the Cold Air Box without the rest for a 32 gtr for the 200ish? I can make the air intakes up easy enough and have pod mounting brackets, it´s 2 hks pods standed afm´s etc, i had a go at making one up once out of metal but gave up because i suck at measuring and cutting

The brackets overpriced and the air intake is a bit too much but the box seems good value for money

Also wtf is with tossers and posting up stuff dissing peoples works, he´s not saying it´s awesome value for money he´s just covering costs making a bit of profit and using some time and effort, geez

Hey mate,

Im sorry. unfortunetly I am not going down this avenue any more, to many headaches.

I am still wondering why this hasent been locked yet to be honest. :cool:

Hey Adam,

I like your setup, better than most of those tin boxes lol! I might try it myself sometime. Keep up the good DIY's!

Can't believe the flaming on here, its disgraceful!

Cheers! :(

Yeah nice work dude, i appricaite your creativity, unlike some other peoples cristism,, its ridiculous, every1 was saying to same shit, 1 person said and you responded to it, why cant people just read instead of having to put negative feedback on a fellow sau member.,

  • 1 year later...

its a good idea man, im keen to try it this weekend actually :)

i dont know why people are being spastics about the price, its not like his saying"please dont DIY and give me $500 ill do it for you"

if you dont like the idea or price fair enough but no need to be an ass about it...

WYTSKY i think its just jealousy mate

anyway on a different note if i have a stock smic is this still practical?

cheers

+1 for a top effort and a good looking end result. altho never try sell anything for any amount of money on forums cos people will always say it costs too much.

-1 for all you givin him stick about it. he stated from the first post you could DIY. All negative comments should have ended there.

Thats my 2c

Haha $500 bucks is nothing with some of the intake setups you want on say....an r34 gtr. There's always petty criticism on here because knob jockeys think they feel better about themselves. He purely mentioned about a DIY so you can do it f**king yourself. Adam, awesome effort and ignore the haters on this forum.

Just my 2c......

Leave the stock air box nothing wrong with it. I made my own pod a intake box and received a canary so basically you paying $1 or $1000 on a product that's going to give you problems from the cops.

Btw no offense but I don't think it worth it, save your Money for something thats worth it like power gain turbo injectors ecu upgrade ect

    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
    • OK, now we are ready to get started. You need to remove the air boxes on each side for clearance. The cover is straightforward, undo the clips on the top and lift the front cover out of the rest of the housing. If it is tight you can remove the air filters first. The rear section of the airbox is trickier. On each side you need to remove the Air flow meter wiring which is held to the airbox with a clip; you need to get behind the clip on 2 sides if you want to remove it without breaking it - unclip the harder side and pull on the clip with medium force, then unclip the easier side and it should pop out The airbox is held onto the intake hose with a spring clamp; you need to get a flat bladed screwdriver behind the spring on both sides and pop them outwards. When you have got them in the right unclipped place they will stay there and the airbox slips out pretty freely. Put a rag in the intake to prevent anything getting dropped in there, and also to prevent you seeing that the turbo seal is leaking oil (as they do). Then. The top of the radiator is held by a steel plate, it is secured by 2x10mm and 2x12mm headed bolts . Remove them and remove the plate Also grab the bushings that hold the radiator to the plate on each side so they are not lost!
    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
