i found the proto type i made, it gives you a good idea what im talkin about but looks rough and dosnt have the airflow sensor hole this is the bottom half the top looks the same as the pics above or for a little extra can be clear like mine.

also the bottom can be conected to a duct runnin to the front bar.

i have moulds for two differant boxs one with standard piping and intercooler and one to suit front mount

i would expect about $150 for one to suit standard & 200 to suit front mount as its bigger that would include postage within oz

i can sell these boxs but so far ive only had fuct coments not one person said "id be interested" or i would be making more right now give me ten min to pull mine out and i will have the pics up

i am interested mate. thats why im reading this thread. like munkyboy said, all we are looking for is pics of how well it fits, and a price. no offense meant

none taken !

the air box pictured above is to suit front mount it uses a 3" cold air feed from the bottom but as this was the proto type

the holes arnt cut out.

im not sellin these to make money selling them to help yous out as i searched for ages and couldn't find one so thought id make it .

sorry the one in the pics looks scaby but im not pulling my car apart just to sell more i couldnt care less if i sell more or not.

if i do sell i promise the finished item is much better looking fitts straight in wth no mods or if your not happy money back im not some rippoff out to make a buck

yeh jokes funny haha

"i got jokes".

well i guess no one is realy interested in these airboxs. i mean a plastic partition is just as good right?

"yeh right"

i also love how the plastic partitions start vibrating at about 140ks makes a mad sound and leaves awsome rub marks yeh mad might go back onto ebay and waste $90 on one now

hahah calm down man

fark

we asked you to show us the box, so we could see the quality and look etc.

because ive seen ppl try and sell crap on here for large amounts of money before.

and my airbox is very nice thanks. its a single piece of perspex, cut and shaped to snuggly fit the space around the pod.

its not sealed at the bottom, but then why would it be? thats another avenue for cold air to get in.

and it gets its air from a 3 inch tube running from the front bar into the box, from underneath. non of this snorkel bullshit.

btw, the snorkel does not see direct airflow coz its blocked by the bonnet, therefore the air needs to be sucked in to get into the box. so you need a 100% sealed box to use this method, like the standard filter box.

and after all that trouble, you still dont have as much cool air coming in, compared to an open 3 inch tube, not to mention that the snorkel may interfere with your aftermarket intercooler piping.

these air boxs are fully sealed and can run the 3" pipe at the bottom or the original snorkle or both depending on the intercooler piping.

oh and they are about twice the volume of a standard box

HI ALL RECENTLY I FITTED A K&N FILTER TO MY R33 AS I LIVE IN THE BLUE MONTAINS (NICE COLD AIR)

IT MADE A SLIGHT DIFERANCE UNTIL THE CAR WARMED UP THEN IT WAS BOUT THE SAME AS THE STOCK FILTER THEN I TOOK IT TO THE CITY AND I COULDNT BELIVE THE AMONT OF POWER IT LOST I FITTED THE FACTORY AIR BOX BACK IN AND BACK TO NORMAL THE PROBLEM WAS THE 100 DEGREE TURBO PLUMBING BEING RIGHT UNDER THE AIR FILTER I BOUGHT A CLEAR PLASTIC AIR BOX OFF EBAY BUT HAVING NO BOTTOM IT ONLY MADE THINGS WORSE SO IN THE END I MADE MY OWN AIR BOX WITCH FITS THE K&N POD INSIDE AND HAS A BOTTOM TO SEPERATE THE INTERCOOLER PIPING FROM THE AIR FILTER ITS MADE SO MUCH DIFFERANCE JUST WONDERING IF EVERY ONE ELSE FOUND THIS TO BE A PROBLEM AND IS THERE ANY COLD AIR OR AIR BOX KITS FOR THE R33 IVE ONLY SEEN THE TVR ONES WITCH ARE ALSO SUCKING STRAIGHT UNDER BONETT AIR ....

REASON I ASK IS I STILL HAVE MOULDS SO IF ANYONE WANTS ONE I CAN MAKE MORE

I want one! lol, got a fmic and a pod too, but dnt really wanna get rid of the pod, how much wud u sell me a mould for?

i probly wouldnt sell the moulds but a finished box with the cleartop like the one pictured would be $200 posted to your door i think thats pretty fair it takes about half a day and $60 in products to make one.

it would be finished though not like the one above.

including bracket to mount to original air box location.

  • 3 weeks later...

man im dead set interested in one of these, ive got a r34 gtt with rb25det

would this mould fit into one?

if so consider one sold.

ive got front mount so only need a hole for afm and the induction pipe opening for turbo.

pm me.

cheers, Bass

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
