I have just installed an Apexi Super Suction with super intake air filer to my stagea. To fit I had to take the radiator overflow catch tank out, and have a temperary one for now. Have other people had the same problem? Does anyone know what I could replace it with. I measured 3/4L that it needs so I need to find a small one that can fit somewhere .

What have other people done/used?

I will have to enclose the POD at some stage for more cooler air.

You shoulda just bought the rampod by itself. It just bolts omto your airflow meter. I have one. I'm gonna buy a carbonfibre box for it to sit in.

You can easily make one yourself. Use cardboard to stencil it first, then get hold of some 3-5mm alluminum and cut and bent to shape. To join the lid to the sides (and sides to body) you can use L-brackets with a bolt and threaded hole.

PS: You only need to make 2 sides and this could be done out of one alluminum piece. The other 2 side are formed by the car body.

Note: A pre-fabricated air box my not be suitable, as they are designed for one type of air pod, thus you may have to modifiy it to fit. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MODIFY CARBIN FIBRE.

(Unable to take better pictures as my car is currently at the paint shop)

I think will look at buying a smaller plastic overflow tank from nissan first, if not then i'll do what Al said and make a custom one.

Also I am going to swap my air intake snorkel and replace it with a GTR one as it is wider and closer to the front and edge of engine bay so it will be right near my air filter. Ill have pics in a few weeks.

I love that duct. I'm trying to do a section in the standard duct at the monent.....

Are you using your standard duct anymore?? Can I borrow/buy it from you?

I need a prototype to play with.

      Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )

      But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
