Hey guys and gals,

just wondering what materials ppl used for making the outer case of their CAI partition for their pod filters, and also what material was used for insulation?

I was thinking of aluminium sheets for the box, and those silver sun shades for the insulation (the type that have air pockets to insulate).

If people have better suggestions (especially for the insulation) , and places I can get these things (Bunnings is absolutely crap, as I can never find anything I want there), I would appreciate that.

Thanks

Zahos

Steve has hit the nail on the head.

Get your self some of that foam from Clarke Rubber.

For the metal stuff I used AluBond. Two 1mm sheets of aluminium seperated by 2-3mm of plastic/rubber. It has very good heat insulation properties.

But a single 3mm sheet of aluminium will work good too.

I found that mine did reduce the noise of the pod by about 30%. Your like me, I don't like it mega loud :D

Hey ppl,

I'm still trying to find some aluminium sheeting, or alubond to make the partition with.......

I got the foil backed foam as meggala suggested, but I cant seem to find any1 that can help me with a rigid aluminium sheet....

I've been to several hardware stores, called several aluminuim places listed in the white pages, and no one can help me....

Is it just pure coincidence that I happened to ring all the knobs that cant help me, and completely missed all the ones that can????

Anyway, if someone could tell me where they got some from, it would be most appreciated.

I actually scabbed a bit from a mate.

They used the stuff to do office re-fits. The alubond stuff is used as the partitions between workstations !!!!

Tell you the truth, I have no idea where you can buy the stuff from :D

Yeah, I'll get it cheaper anyhow....

A mate of mine is a cabinet maker, and buys aluminium from them for kickboards. He will get them through his company for me....

Thanks

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?

      What Duncan said sounds right. Also, it looks like they only have the driver's mat. Not the rest. Because looking at the diagram: KG4911 is just the mat for the driver. KG4900 is the full set if I'm not mistaken and discontinued.   But, it looks like they may still have the full set for the manual S2. Might be worth checking for the other models as well as they seem slightly different. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/misc/G49 Man, I'm tempted.

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
