im trying to do sky box in my engine, is there a way, that we can disable the camera frustrum, so that when i tell it to render the sky, it will always be rendered no matter if its out of the cameras frustrum (far clipping plane)?

I think what you want is a skybox unaffected by the far clipping plane, yet not overlapping the rest of the level. To do this, you could draw the skybox with the depth buffer turned off. Then you re-enable the depth buffer and draw everything else. No matter what the depth of everything else, it will draw over the skybox becuase it''s depth is zero.
