Hey guys.

I am after some sort of enclosure for a pos setup or standard box.

Car is losing boost when the engine gets up to operating temp, and thinking that this will solve the problem, and make it leagal :P

I have checked around, and looking at eBay finding the right box for $400, but it seems abit much for some plastic.

If anyone can help point me in the right direction will be much appreciated.

Suggest split in one of the hoses that opens up in the warmth.

Wont be the heat of the engine warming the air going into your Pod - not from the symptoms you mention.

You can get a sheild which is cheaper rather than a CAB .

Ill have a look at the hoses when i have some light and report back.

Its an odd problem, the boost restrictor has been taken out and it boosts to just below 1bar then the the engine warms up and ill get half as much boost. I cant think of what it is doing it, and its the only thing i can think of.

Im open to any suggestions on how to fix it lol.

The other reason i would like an air box is that im going to get it roadworthied, and regoed in Vic when i go home for the holidays. But a shield does sound good, and will be open to any more info on that.

Your not using a T-piece to adjust boost are you ?

If your doing your RWC and Rego in Vic then your right persue the Stock box.

Mexicans are different to the ACT where it just needs to be securely braced.

Personally if your chasing down a boost leak I'd go new tubing, and check your intercooler piping is tight around the hose clamps.

It doesnt have a manual boost controller, the only thing that is changed is the lines, which were upgraded by the previous owner.

Im seriously considering getting it done here, but being in defence, its a pain in the ass when your constanly moving around. Im back in Vic next April then moving again next December. I can prove my address because i live on base, i had to get a statdeck when i bought my run around. If that will hold up i will do it here. Because of the easier rwc rules here.

The GTR is very clean and the boost problem is the only issue ive had. And am very fond of the social side of it too with this site.

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
