B-Man I have an unused Fiberglass UAS airbox if you want it ? The only thing wrong with it is im missing 1 of the screws for the side and it has a very light scratch across the top part of it.

Make me an offer if you like...

Ben - thanks dude - I have one already - I want an aluminum one - plus my pipework is not std any more so might have to be custom jobbie.

Jimbo - I won't be using them again. Thanks anyhows.

B-man, go to a place like Smart Aluminium - Wetherill Park, (or check yellow pages for other suppliers that are close to you)... and buy up some scrap to the value of their minimum purchase order.

Smart Aluminium's is $15, and for that i got enough alum sheet to do plenty of odd jobs, (just havent been bothered to do them), like ducts for oil cooler, panel for bottom of cooler to ensure air passes thru not underneath, and cold air intake.

Aluminium is easy to work with using basid tools like files/drill/hacksaw. So once you have it all cut and filed up, rock up to a place like Performance MetalCraft, Micks MetalCraft, Hills Motorsport, anyone you trust with aluminium welding (UAS???)

if they wont weld it up for an hours labour, cash or invoiced, hell even the old case of Crownies, then try elsewhere. They are looking at about 500mm max of fillet weld, which wont take any time at all.

So with a bit if DIY, you get exactly what YOU want for $80-150 depending if you want to polish out the weld or just polish the sheet.

You da man Roy !

I don't know why I keep thinking that I have to get other people to do stuff on my car - I am quite capable (lack of time is the only reason I guess)

I think I will give this a go.

I know a place with a new TIG so maybe we can work something out !

Cheers !

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
