Ledge Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 I got this from Motorsport Auto. Was pricey but looks good and we done back to back dyno runs to check its restriction and it didn't change a thing. Stacks fit on underneath. Quote
mossy Posted June 27, 2015 Author Posted June 27, 2015 I got this from Motorsport Auto. Was pricey but looks good and we done back to back dyno runs to check its restriction and it didn't change a thing. Stacks fit on underneath. Can't they still catch fire though Ledge? There is a couple of other options I'm looking at, the MJP cold air box http://www.mjpshop.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&path=155_78_113&product_id=437 Gavin strongman airbox which I think alfa motorsports make http://www.viczcar.com/gallery/albums/cc04/IMG_1121.jpg also Mike NZeder was making a prince GTB airbox, although just wondering how well this one would work as it was designed for a 2lt motor.

Ledge Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 Well i guess they can. The foam is a lot finer on these than the typical sock so you dont need to spray the sticky oil shit on them. So i would say that would help minimize the chance of flames. Quote
Brabham Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 There are also fine mesh filters that clip on the intake stacks, that could be a good option too. Quote

So i would say that would help minimize the chance of flames. Looked into them and it seems they have a inner layer of self extinguishing filter foam, cost with the backplate will probably be about $400 so I'll weigh this up against the cost of a airbox. There are also fine mesh filters that clip on the intake stacks, that could be a good option too. I've seen those too Brabham but I think they can still let dust into the engine. Quote
mossy Posted September 1, 2015 Author Posted September 1, 2015 (edited) Just finished installing a cold air box, induction is way quieter, not sure I like that but hopefully I will get used to it. Edited September 2, 2015 by mossy gav240z 1 Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted September 1, 2015 Administrators Posted September 1, 2015 Look great to me, although I'd powder coat it 'orange' to be more inline with the original engine bay look myself . By the way that looks like the airbox that Gavin Strongman ran on his 260z. http://www.viczcar.com/forum/gallery/image/3605-no-caption/ Where did you get it? Quote
mossy Posted September 1, 2015 Author Posted September 1, 2015 (edited) I did consider orange but I have ran out of paint so decided to leave it black for now. It has z racing embossed on the side so I will probably paint that white. It is a Gavin strongman airbox, i had it made by alfa fibreglass. It isn't a tapered airbox so I've been told you can you run a small filter on the back of the box the back carb doesnt get too much air, not sure if anyone has done this before?

NEW240 Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 The original Gavin Strongman air box does have a small filter at the back close to the firewall. It is a small mesh filter that is used between the cold water tap and hose fitting on the back of your washing machine, just need to drill hole to match the mesh size and araldite it in place. Quote
mother240 Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 Hi Mossy Found a few more old pics of your car. Enjoy. I must say it looks a thousand times better nowadays. Nice job. Mark gav240z 1 Quote
mossy Posted May 19, 2016 Author Posted May 19, 2016 The closest the zeds got to the road in the last few months is my driveway, won't change anytime soon with the gearbox about to come out. Sirpent, George_Zed and gav240z 3 Quote
Sirpent Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 Not every color works on the S30's, but this has to be one of the best ! mossy 1 Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted May 19, 2016 Administrators Posted May 19, 2016 What's going on with your gear box? Or what work are you getting done? mossy 1 Quote
mossy Posted May 19, 2016 Author Posted May 19, 2016 Not every color works on the S30's, but this has to be one of the best ! Thanks John What's going on with your gear box? Or what work are you getting done? When I originally had the SR conversion box put together I used new bearings but didn't put in new syncros which was a mistake as it now crunches when driving. Now going to send the box down warragul way for a full rebuild with LCR billet short shifter, at this stage probably going to stick with the stock ratios as I cant afford the extra 2k for the kameari close ratio gearset.

mossy Posted July 2, 2016 Author Posted July 2, 2016 Back on the road again thanks to a fully rebuilt SR20 gearbox with LCR short shifter from Les Collins Racing. Thanks Les and Locky Sirpent, Zedhead and gav240z 3 Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted July 2, 2016 Administrators Posted July 2, 2016 Nice what are the ratio's like in that thing? Quote
mossy Posted July 2, 2016 Author Posted July 2, 2016 I'm not sure exactly what the stock ratios are Gav but for sunday driving they feel fine to me. Once funds allow I'll probably get a kameari close ratio gearset but for now I'm happy, all new Nissan syncros make the shifting miles better, along with the LCR short shifter Quote
C.A.R. Posted July 3, 2016 Posted July 3, 2016 (edited) Ratios are: 3.3, 1.9, 1.3, 1:1 & 0.76 Whereas the Kameari ones are: 2.4, 1.6, 1.2, 1:1 & 0.76 Edited July 3, 2016 by Lurch ™ mossy 1 Quote
dat2kman Posted July 3, 2016 Posted July 3, 2016 I'm seeing plenty f SR20DET boxes, from S13,S14 that have 0.832 fifth gear sets. The RB20DET, and RB30DE's all have 0.75 fifth gear. They do swap over easily. FJ20ET also had 0.832Ffth gear, and in same width as the SR/RB boxes, at 18m( older 71B box, fifth s 16mm wide) Quote
