hey guys,

first box is made....in my car....needs some further touching up, but overall, im happy with it. looks good... will make up the radiator panel tonight and chuck it on so you guys can see it.

after looking at the engine bay, a similar box around the washer bottle and fuse box would look good. might look into this if anyones interested.

will be down in newy tomorrow. anyone wanna meet up at bar beach...bit after lunch. someone else post up a time...

prices are confirmed

$50 for radiator panel

$100 for airbox.

will take orders tomorrow or email me at [email protected] with your address and whether you have standard i/c piping or a pipe going over the radiator.

cheers guys

Linton

let me know if you guys are gunna be down at the foreshore this weekend. I might come down for a bit.

You should see my car now Linton, with my newly aquired drift damage the front bar is starting to look as ratty as yours :headbang:

And with the airboxes, there's no real rush.

My mate with the 180 says he still might want one, and I discovered he has a piece of thin checker plate bent around where his box would go, would be perfect for getting the size when you get time.

:P

hahaha, GO DRIFT DAMAGE!!!!!!!!! :P what do you mean as ratty as mine?? hahaha....go rattiness!!! i love it!!!

i got pissed off with the wing late one night/early one morning and ended up cracking it and denting the bootlid... its cemented on there, not coming off. gonna have to be good damage to beat that.

ill let you know if im gonna be there.

also, any questions...im on msn.. [email protected]

cheers

HOLY SHITBALLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahaha, damn ian, thats rough. panel damage is one thing...but once you hit a suspension component....it goes to the next level...

id get my car towed before i ever put the space saver on too. haha, i love it, thats awesome.

Haha....

I drove around for two days like that too!

Luckily its only 5 mins to work though.

Got the rim fixed, and it looks ****ing sweet! I love not having chromies!

Fixed the control arm today too, now I just gotta get a re-alignment, and get out the fiberglass repair kit and she'll be sweet :headspin:

ok guys....ive had a breakthrough....i got the airbox out of my car...things are all go. getting aluminium on thursday...gonna drill into em and get heaps done. got some guys that have defects to clear so they will be first in line...jeez im a nice guy.

looking at around $100 for the boxes.... will also be further modifying these down the line...which will equal a price rise, but more on that later.

not sure if a 33 box will fit in a 32...but we'll have a look.

cheers

any chance of pics?

i was going to make one for my pod when it arrives from japan, but if i become very lazy i might just buy one off you :D

does it provide a good seal? how are the bends in the aluminum and how are pieces joined together?

pics would probably explain all these questions anyway.

the aluminium is bent in a metal bender... it provides a near complete seal... box and lid are joined by allen head bolts... im currently setting up a website, so no pics yet.

give me your email and ill send you some pics.

cheers

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
