Thought i should show what im upto and perhaps give some more ideas on how to go about this.

Here's my attempt after being defected for pod without enclosure. :/ Still abit left to do.

Here's some progress pics.

Pics of part of the lid, which will have perspex in the spaces left.

hmmm... well... interesting... :P

it considerably more complex then gts432's or my own, yet doing the same job... which begs the question.. why ? :P

would the end result be capable of taking a cai aswell? because I found the best thing for the heatsheild setup is to be combined with a CAI to actually notice a difference

and as long as its strong, looks good to the owner and performs correctly.. no harm done!

Yes this box im making will have cai from the front bar to the box. Box is completely sealed. Lid has holes left for perspex to be fitted.

Here's the pipe going into the box

Some updates

Lid painted in Bayside Blue, well base coat of the colour anyway. Not going to put any pearls or anything,

just will put few coats of clear.

Ive went thru all this trouble using fibreglass because ive already had all the material needed as im making a subbox currently as well.

Heres the subbox. I hit it with some paint as well, but had a few mistakes, so have sanded a few places as u can see

Its not a heatsheild, its a sealed enclosure. :) Its also made out of fibreglass and mdf, so it will not be easy for the heat to get thru, whereas in an aluminium heatshield which will heat up because its metal. Hopefully mine works well.

so i added the perspex and put the lid on. I was hoping for more induction noise than what i have now with the sealed pod. You can barely hear the spooling. I guess it means i have successfully sealed the box. O well, i can always remove the lid when i feel like risking it :blink:

funny how diffrent states have different rules . when my son got defected for pod filter and fmic we rang up regancy park and they told us neither was a defectable item . we had to take it to the local police station they rang regancy and they took the defect off . all they was worried about was as long as the pod was secured it was fine they was not worried at all about it been enclosed .

btw nice job on your box and ya sub looks like it will turn out good as well

ye rules are different in each state.

Box has been done already, im moving on to the centre dash surround, which will fit 3 gauges, alpine h/u and safc2. When im finished with the surround, it will be unrecognizable.

Will also start with the amp mounting on the sides to finish off the boot

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
