C34 Stagea D.i.y Airbox

[picklesRs4]

Hi all, just letting you all know im in the process of making an airbox for my c34 as genuine nissan airbox is basically a mortgage and custom fabrication is harf to find. So far I just have a template made out of cardboard and will make it properly out of some plain black heat reaistant plastic.

When I go out and buy things I will put them up in here and let you know how I went about making the final product.

These photos are what im planning on making the final product look like so any thing you see wrong or needs improvement please let me know. All critisism welcome haha.

Cheers

A few threads in DIY section covers this.

FWIW you can move the carbon canister over the power steering reservoir if it is getting in the way.

OEM airboxes are cheap as over here - surely you can pick one up from someone wrecking one for about $30?

[picklesRs4]

Yea I've seen a few already but just figured I'll put another out there.

If you can get them for $30 sell them to aus haha. Brand bew from nissan (trade price) $500 the rest I've found were around $300

Im very new to this engine as well. Which parts the carbon cannister?

[picklesRs4]

Alright so the airbox is done. Only took a couple of hours as you'd expect. And as usual the only things I used were

-heat gun

-$50 of plastic or acrylic from bunnings

-side cutters (clean cuts on warm plastic)

-right angle brackets from bunnings

-some nuts and bolts I already had in the garage.

Hooe you like my version of the d.i.y airbox

That looks great.

Are you going to put the snorkel/cold air intake back on????

[picklesRs4]

Thanks. And no im not because I didn't have an airbox to begin with which I ls why I made this. Will buy a snorkel soon tho and try fit it in

You'd have to cut a fair bit out. The standard air box finishes on the inside of the charcoal canister.

Looks good though! Almost factory looking

[picklesRs4]

Yea would be a fair bit of cutting. But I'll probably buy a snorkel and give it a shot soon. Kinda stock but really shiny

[Scriblez]

Looks really good man, nice work!

Personally, I would have used clear perspex for the top cover, just for looks sake. But fits nice, looks like a great fitment!

[picklesRs4]

Yea I would've liked to have it clear but being a p-plater even just having it glossy the way it is will be enough for me to get in a little trouble so trying to keep it relatively low key, it also hides the intercooler pipes so it looks like it goes from the filter straight to the t/b. It's a very tight fit as well haha. Thanks
