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

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
