Hey guys, need some help.

Got defected by the cops for my Pod Filter.

Need to cover it with the Just Jap box, but in order to do that i need to extend the Pod to the bottom right corner of my engine bay, towards the Water Bottle. 

I need some opinions on how to do so, and have attatched some pics of the engine bay and the actual box i want to get.

Thanks in advanced guys!

Just Jap box is a good option,

however you can build a box with about 40 bucks and 3-4 hours.

Search in the DIY forum. I think someone in the central coast did it...Jim, if i remember correctly, i forget his forum nickname.

Anyway, with summer just arriving, put back the stock airbox with a high flow panel filter. Pods = unresponsiveness in warmer conditions.

UAS sells a fibreglass airbox for pod filters, specifcally for 34s for $190ish.

I so wouldve, but i dont have the stock air box man. It sucks big time seriously.

But yeah, i need to get this up and running asap.

I would make it myself, ive seen the DIY but i just dont have the time at the moment to make it myself. And the Just Jap one looks heaps neat :P

Maybe use a metal elbow pipe.

That seems to be fairly close to where you need it to be, if you can get an elbow the right length then it should be sweet.

Something like this (provided it's the same diameter) might help you extend, and it still retains flexibility to get it exactly where you need. Might need a bit of modding to get it right.

If you used a black elbow like that, combined with a black pod enclosure, it should look fairly standard and won't stand out too much next time a cop takes a look.

Cheers for that but i cant see any of those pics, and the second link doesnt work for me.

Walked into Autobarn last night, they had these plastic and metal pipes and elbow's aswell.

But the thing is, i just need to know what do i do with the additional pipes that come off the stock intake pipe? because if i extend it, when will i do it from?

Just remove that square box that connects to the intake, and replace that with the elbow. Keep the piping with the AFM and all.

The first image is in the interesting pod filter setup thread.

Metal screams out modified intake. black piping going into a box looks more standard.

If you're getting pulled up a lot by cops I'd go the latter. It sucks having to do things like this to prevent unwanted attention but sometimes it's better than the inconvenience of defects etc... :P

Hey Howie, yeah man. I copped 2 defects in the past 2 weeks for the poddy, so i need to tend to it ASAP!

dori32, ive been lookin' for ages, but i might aswell get the full CAI going with the poddy and all.

Oh well.

Heading over to Autobarn and bunnings this arvo after work, see how it goes ;)

    • Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

    • I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha. 
    • Can a moderator please move this into the right category.. I've accidently put this into racing build thread 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Being a manual, we very quickly ordered new R34 gearbox (From Nissan) and remaining parts from Kudos motorsports. Would highly recommend the team there. Ultra helpful and quick to share advice and upgrades. We are in the middle of taking the Auto out (Genuine 94,000/kms) and putting the Manual in this weekend. Part 2 of the build will include likely a Plazaman Intercooler and Plenium, Hks Exhaust with Tomei Dump (ordered).
