Hi guys, not sure where to put this as I'm not selling anything personally but just seeing who might be interested in an aftermarket airbox/heatshield.

I'm getting one made up for myself locally out of stainless steel but thought some of you might be interested in this too so ill give you a run down of what I'm getting and if anyone is interested I can pass the details on to you...

Basically its laser cut and made to sit in the passenger side corner behind the headlight, its got an opening through the side for the afm to attach to and have a pod on the inside as well as a cut out to clear the hot pipe for the inter cooler.

I haven't got pics of it installed but I do have some 3d renderings which ill photoshop inside the engine bay later to give you a better idea.

Price is around $130 for basic stainless steel airbox in either polished finish or powdercoated in a basic colour (black,white,red,blue etc)

However, for a bit extra you can have custom metal finish (zinc, blue gold, chrome etc) or custom powdercoated colour as well as custom engraving or cut outs on the lid. pretty much anything can be done such as a forum user name, number plate, jap brand name etc... (all laser cut)

I havent got exact pricing for all the extras but I can inquire about it if anyone wants it.

If enough people are interested ill set up a group buy.

Thanks :D

f**k man, thats damn cheap. if its available for the s14 id be keen.

I'll ask, they will need a base car to take measurements etc for tho but if there's enough interest i don't see why not.

Another thing I forgot to mention is that the airbox is all press bent so its basically a perfect finish and should bolt up to stock mounting points around that area.

hell, they can use my car as the test run...

... if i can lowball myself a discount. :D

(actually, with the s14 one, could probably start marketing it on ns, s14 and s15 = same)

I'm making some out of Carbon fiber for RB25DET R34 . If you make them out SS will absorb heat too much !!! actually bet the temps will be higher then the lack of airbox ? unless its aluminum ???

My designs have a top that can be removed for the defect police and the second generation will be two carbon fiber snorkles into a KN style filter a hi volume factory box completely sealed off from below as well and include heat shield option on the back side.

should have mine done for the car show in loxton, dual snorkles

This carbon one sounds even more advertising... How muchies approx?

Im not selling them yet..lol but If I did around 300 for option 1, option 2 400ish

can make some for other models with a donor car for exact molds to AFM, connection points

will be using aircraft type fasteners , half turn to remove , quick release similar to below

Im sure that the Clark rubber heat resistant adhesive foam would counteract the head absorption by not letting the heat affect the air going into the pod. I dont think it is that expensive either, need to get some for my airbox.

Definantely like the look of this set up, but I agree the material is probably wrong.

They look like a pretty smart setup, would like to use them on a whole heap of spots that the crappy plastic ones are. Do they make a version of these for thin panels? It looks like those need something fairly thick to lock into.

I got mine from just jap, had to make a few mods for my pod setup but it does the job.

The also make them in carbon.

these are made for aircraft aluminum skins , so they come in all sorts of sizes, I just grabbed the first example for photo purposes

they only take a half turn to remove them, also come in straight slot screws for use with 5 cent coins , roadside removal ??

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
