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 ??

    • @Supernanoyour car has ended up in my hands and I was wondering if there has been any work done to the motor?  
    • Sigh... yeah OEM mount rear battery, very R33, very demure, very mindful.
    • Would need a substantial current draw in the car to make a bunch of sparks. Obvs to now test resistance to ground of the car's B+ lead. If there's a short there, you'll see it. Only likely place for that, as you suspect is alternator. But there is also the possibility that rats have had a chew on some insulation. Shitbox has the battery in the boot, yeah? Plenty of cable to attack.
    • Oh, I thought of that too... I disconnected the battery and hooked up the leads direct to the car without the battery in place. Sparks... I suspect the following: Alternator has decided to kill itself Starter has decided to kill itself I'll recharge the battery, then unplug both, and go from there. The above might take 6 months - however I did buy a Victron 15 AMP trickle charger, apparently it's better than CTEK? Amazon, delivery by tonight. https://www.amazon.com.au/Victron-Battery-Charger-15-Amp-waterproof/dp/B07P4LMMMD?ref_=ast_sto_dp
