Hey peoples. I need a ZD30 air box lid. I want to modify one but at the same time I need my car so it would be much easier if I had a spare to do then I can swap them over when its done.
If you have one. Lemmeknow!


Cheers.

Hey Mudski,

Not sure what you are up to, but....
Here is a remote possibility for you - as this one is already designed for big horsepower - no need to muck around

@ Mudski wont cost anything IMO.
Is the high flow billet air housing what you have.

Don't get me wrong but now your 1/4 miles times will be 22seconds instead of 22.5.
Cant justify spending up on a piddly 3ltr turbo, might be wrong, rather put the money towards "portals"

At $395 they can lick my left one. I saw that and was tempted but not at that price. It would be better just to buy the PatrolDocta Hi flow complete airbox for $450 or what ever it is. I like to do things myself if I can. I have a better feeling of satisfaction that I did it and it cost me a lot less.

Yeah mate...I can bolt it straight up to the lid now but where the four threaded square washers are in the plastic housing are spinning when I try to unbolt it from the maf housing. So I thought no better time than now to do it properly.

Yeah .... I thought you would love the price.

Just because it is car related, they think it is a good place to make some fast cash ..... then again if I went to make this myself, it would probably cost me that much in time ( if I decided to charge myself that is )

I can see why they charge that as I don't think it would be cheap to get one made up, plus they have to make money too. After all it is a business they are running. But it is a lot of money...
