Nah dude.

Hmm, I gave you a chance now youve failed me again.

Please just use your bucket for bucket purposes.

whats with ppl from wa?

i'm just having a laugh while messing around with a cheap bucket, i've seen good airbox setups and i make one when i get paid and my mate gets back from holidays (we'll make one for my stag and his 33)

i also got distracted while taking the coil cover (to lower coil temps) off this arvo and decided to do this to entertain a mate who joked about taking my bov of (same result, no air leaks)

lighten up

Umm, we use our buckets for mopping and various other leisurely activities.

Coolism. Seen this on youtube, let me know wen you get a plumback bov. :D

My advice is stick with the factory one. No harm intended. Interesting topic though regarding CAI.

What you could do is remove the headlight and install a bucket in its spot like a giant air scoop to guide it to the filters bucket.

Maybe you could cut another bucket up to use as a coilpack cover. :( red will make it faster. black will hide it from the cops better :D

I might be wrong here but I would be a bit nervous using bucket plastic as a blocking plate for a bov. What if some of the plastic breaks off from the pressure and ended up in the pipework. Would hate to see a laugh turn ugly.

seeing as there =plastic blanking plate can only deflect a max of a few mm i dont think its gonna break

and normality will be restored once my mate gets back from holidays and we'll make some proper air boxes

tom, redo it all in metal

I made up a metal blanking bov plate yrs ago:

I found it best to have a small drill hole in the middle to help air escape on low rpm situations (saves car from stalling)

anyways, Im going to try this with a thick metal bucket, some heat-resistant foam, wouldnt mind adding a bucket lid too, to enclose the pod entirely

I'll cut the bucket in the middle all round, slide it into itself so its half size but double thickness, and go from there. that way a lid could fit onto the lipped end still

:D

i used to make aluminium air boxs on my cnc router that made it legal for 32 and 33 gtst it made 12rwkw difference on the dyno at unigroup its surprising how much power you can make with it. if i end up getting my stagea ill make one up and sell them for around 80 bucks they looked pretty trick i can also engrave stuff on there like nismo n shit ill post something up when i do this guys

that would be sick, i'd love to do a metal one but my metal skills aren't that good

only think i've noticed thats different to a skyline is that the rad overflow is on that side and the filler hole is quite low = easy to be covered and then hard to be refilled

    • Trail braking done right, should have the rear unsettled, such that you're actually turning the car by a noticeable amount WITH the brakes, and hence noticeably less steering input.
    • No you don't. Just no more driving in the wet, and clean your window manually before you drive
    • I'm not sure if they tick your boxes, but Haltech would be my pick. I'm an Adaptronic guy from way back, and Haltech acquired Adaptronic to basically get Andy, AND his IP on how he does things like fuel modelling etc.
    • Just on this, as there's a huge issue in your assumption Dose.   The logic you've given, is the same logic old school NA guys give for "needing back pressure" in an exhaust. If you free up an exhaust system, and keep injecting the same fuel in etc, at the same timing, you'll typically drop power. Freeing the exhaust will often make an engine want a little bit more timing, and even sometimes a little more fuel, but then it'll make even more power.   There's many mods people do and "get no extra power" when running a comparison on the same tune. Imagine a car tuned for 91, but now we say put 98 in it, see no difference. But as we now have 98 fuel, you can run more timing, and make more power, as the 91 was knock limited.   So just be very wary in your claim of "don't retune it and do a back to back and you'll see". The correct approach would be tune the car with stock manifold, swap the manifold to aftermarket, and retune it again. But no one wants to do that, and all the results we get are "this was stock, and this is manifold changed and tuned" and people put it all down as just the tune doing it.
    • Unplug ECU. Unplug TPS. Unplug boost pressure sensor. Now, all the wires, placing your ground (black) multimeter lead at the ECU end, measure resistance of the 5V line at the boost sensor plug. Then do the same to the TPS plug. Then do the same for all the other wires that relate to the TPS, or boost sensor.   All of your measurements should be very very low. You're looking to see if wiring is out of wack here.   Secondly, from memory on the R33 (not a neo motor, so I'm assuming an r34) the ground wire for the TPS and boost sensor are NOT equal to ground of the car/battery. IE, DO NOT connect ground of the sensor to the engine/body of car. You'll get a ground loop, and/or potentially screw shit up. In electronics, ground for a circuit, is not necessarily equal to ground of another circuit.   So this leads me to ask, when measuring your 5V, how are you getting 1.5V? Where are your multimeter leads touching for both the red and black lead on the multimeter?   If you're measuring power on the sensor wire, and putting ground on the car chassis or negative battery terminal, that could be all of your issues in "getting 1.5v". Electronics engineers can do some funky stuff with circuits, and when both sensors are on, it's enough laid to alter how the ECU is functioning.
