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!

      Returning after a long time!

      I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
