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.

    • And these modern "environmentally friendly" EV vehicles also run on the same smoke! When the engine, wiring, or batteries let it escape it also stops running!
    • Yeah - I found the same information too.. 30% open is like 85% of flow etc. So it's probably going to be minor if not completely imperceptible. I also have a larger pod filter here, will swap that on and see if there's any difference. The hardest part is finding a place to uh, test this. It's quite noticable just how much having ducting to the otherwise completely open pod cools the intake temps down. It's better boxed, or shielded but driving for 30 seconds really makes it plummet to near ambient temperatures. I recall in the past when I was a RB land and had a nice flowing airbox -  - Then I took the lid off and put a pod there, and gained 9 psi of boost and about 60kw from the restriction I didn't know I had - with the controller at same duty cycle. However finding people using over the radiator intakes having similar KPA drops at WOT on built setups makes me think there restriction could be the exhaust or potentially the headers. Either way though, there's no real estate to play with and nothing that can realistically be done about it. The original dyno plot without the airbox, and the larger pod had a better curve. It was later I added the ducting and airbox, and a smaller pod to make it fit in there...
    • That's not completely truthful now is it? Any flex fuelled factory cars also had the option to run on steam.
    • Yeah so I guess your mechanic would know turnaround better than me....but I would have thought you had access to same day or overnight rack rebuilds there....any big city here in Australia has that service.   There are a couple of o-rings and seals involved, I guess the risk is the part is specific not general. Other option is if you can have it on stands in your garage for a while, steering rack removal is pretty simple (2 mounting brackets, 2 ball joints (separate by undoing the nut to the top of the threads, put a pry bar between the steering arm and control arm to put pressure on it then medium force on the side of the ball joint or top of the nut with a hammer to break it free) and then the trickiest bit is the splines to the steering rack (not too bad to undo, one nut then it slides out, but mark it first so you can reassemble it straight)
    • Looks like whiteline don't do springs any more, part# used to be 70191 from a search. Any spring for a 32/33 GTR should fit, just look for something factory not lowered/firmer unless that is your goal
