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

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.

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.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.

      Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
