Slouch ??? SLOUCH !!

Gees , first ya call it a jaffey jalopy and now you say it's a slouch.:)

This is obviously a relative term cos it will still hose a 33gtst fat spec.

hehehe.

Told ya , put the std box in with K+N , no blowoff booooshhhh but no hot air either.

Cheers

( KISS )

Ken

PS Thats not actually a kiss mike , it's stands for keep it simple stupid.

PPS I didn't mean to say your stupid it's just a figure....... ohhh never mind:lol:

Fair call Ken - should've just asked you in the first place:uh-huh:

Can't live without the sound of the pods though - so I'm gonna have to do something about it:p

Thanks,

Mike.

BTW - I didn't literally mean slouch - still goes very well methinks:D

Just another satisfied customer at the end of the day;)

Hi guys, this what I did to make a master for my first CAI. I bought one from www.uniqueautosports.com.au. cost $95. I used it to make a carboard master and then sold it (looking brand new) for $80. Best $15 I ever spent.

OK this is not a GTR but the principle is the same, built it from aluminium, powder coated it and also use a bit of 90mm PVC pipe to feed some cold air in from the lower bumper.

Nice job!

I was thinking of taking the air in near the bonnet like the factory airbox though - that way I don't need to poke any extra holes.

i used to have one but i got a pair of Z32's and different sized pods so the one i have now is good for paperweight. when i finally get my piping sorted, i'll try again. meggala sez you can get some stuff from clarke rubber. i had a look at that stuff and its quite ok... so durable flexible stuff with an aluminium side... other than that, i may just use some left over aluminium i got and make another from that... other stuff i was considering is maybe modify the std airbox so it looks stock.... etc..

damn its hard! at the end of it all, it just got too messy... sure it was partitioned off but it looked unfinished... it looks like you sandwiched the partition with the adapter and the afm? what size is it turbomad? looks nice and neat!

Yes the AFM is held to the partition by the adapter, the length is basically the entire distance from the strut tower to the front of the car and the width was determined by where the AFM ended off the intake pipe/rubber hose thing.

hey mike,

I got a meter of that heat sheild foam from clark rubber, it would be easy to cut to fit the area and you could then use it as a template for a metal one after. In the mean time it would do the job very well indeed. about $23 a meter.

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
