Newy guys...update on airboxes

[NZM.031]

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

[NZM.031]

yeh i was down there....was gonna pull up, but there were no parks...i was already tired so i left for home. next time though...ill probs be down this weekend...will let you's know.

doodz...i (Garage Debris) am making up some aluminium airboxes and radiator panels. same as UAS items although will be alot cheaper and better.... i have a UAS one in my 33 and not happy with it....it does nothing except put a box around the filter.

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.

Hey Linton

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.

[rukus]

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

Linton

how'd u manage to fit the space saver on over your front brakes, when i burst my front tyre in a dirfitng accident i couldn't fit the space saver on, no matter which way i put it it wouldn't clear the calipers.......

[boj01]

You obviously had the wrong space saver for your car. The standard R33 space saver fits over the 4 pot calipers.

see first post.

[siksII]

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

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.

[NZM.031]

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
