im no longer doing the original style lid... as its too time consuming and tricky to fold. can be done, but the time it takes is way too long compared to the new design...

for that reason ive increased the price, i have to buy more bits and pieces to put them together, otherwise i wouldve increased the price to compensate for the labour required. it was also way easier to completly stuff the lid the old way.

im going to do other cars aswell.... but im flat out working and making boxes for gtst's after work,only so many hours in a day.

ill post up some pics of the new box shortly, it looks nothing like the photoshop job.

cheers

These look fantastic. Just a warning though - if a cop wants to defect you, he CAN and WILL. I have a UAS carbon box around my pod (not nearly as classy looking as this one!), and the cop that defected me a couple of weeks ago physically pryed the top up so he could see the pod underneath. I don't konw about other states, but especially in Sydney's South (where I got defected) there's a huge blitz on performance cars.

I spoke to the RTA, and the bloke on the end of the phone said "As long as it's in a box, it's fine!" - As people have said in the past (I hate bringing this up again), the law is open to interpretation.

Anyway - just be careful, and always, ALWAYS argue until you win :D

Back ON topic - if you have a pod, or are thinking of putting one on, buy one of THESE - they look very trick! Well done

Tragic, the new price is $130 or $140 delivered.

Akeevil... quite true in what you are saying... good thing about 2mm aluminium is its not easy to bend by hand, even to pry up. :)

i have been asked by a few people if i could put perspex in the lid, this will not be done as its easier to be defected, the point of the box is to conceal the pod to make it harder to be defected... even though the pod is boxed and "legal", if the cop can still see that you have a pod, he'll get you for a noise test or some other bullshit.

Hi Mate,

Looks real neat and very professional, nice stuff.

Ive got a Series 1 1997 Stagea wagon (RB25det) with aftermarket K&N pod airfilter. Will soon be adding a Hybrid front mount intercooler.

How much for one of these enclosed pod airboxes, with postage to adelaide, and do you know if it'll fit a Stagea?

Regards, Brendan

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
