Hey all,

Just wondering if anyone or company sell's CAI box's for the twin pod setup on a gtr?

Im looking to buy one but i can only find ones to suit gtst's.

Any info is appreciated.

Cheers

Brendan

i would be very interested in this as well, because i can't be bothered to make one myself and won't get pods till i get a CAI box

Unique autosports make them. speak to John and tell him ze baron sent you!

if you don't like his try Advan. they don't have them on the shelf but will custom make to suit each application.

other than that the only viable option is to either make one yourself or go for an ARC airbox.

Or use the OEM airbox!!

yeah for sure. i just haven't seen too many 32 GTRs that still have them ;)

since I've had my car it's had:

old hks pods

new hks pods

new apexi power intake pods

arc airbox

back to apexi pods

i would like to try a stock box if someone is going to pods. i reckon it would be ok with a decent filter in it and maybe open up the intake a bit.

advan have cai boxes in their showroom, not sure if they have them ready to go for sale though. can't imagine it would be a problem for them to make the thing up if you told them what filters you have.

where can i see these advan ones?

do they have a website or something?

I'm designing a box right now!

I've got an R32 GTR with HKS pods on it now, but I also have an ARC airbox, and I am in the process of making a custom box. I'm not totally happy with the ARC box, so I'm making something better!

I have an excellent welder (aircraft engineer) who is happy to make one for me, and I may be able to get him to make a few more if interest is high enough. Also, my cousin owns a metal fabrication business so....

It will be made from aluminium sheet/plate, maybe each side welded together, or maybe some bends(professional/industrial press) and some welds; I'm thinking all welds though, as al doesnt bend too well. I may also look at getting it powdercoated/anodised? black for stealth look, or color maybe.

I'm doing it for R32 GTR at the moment, but I would also look at doing them for other models if interest is good..

If anyone is interested, give me a PM, and I'll keep you posted on whats happening.

i currently making one for my 32 gtr for apexi filters if anyone is intrested in one i might make up a couple. im also going to try and make one for a 32 gtst, if anyone has a gtst and they want one made i need a test/trial car. im making the gtr one out of stainless steel but i have made one for a xr8 out of stainless angle and perspex with a neon in it and the tickford logo engraved on the perspex so i might be able to do something like that for the skylines.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
