big job
for that, also finding custom lights to fit the holes, the finding something you can mold off to make the circular sections
plus you need to get some parkers in there somewhere
doesnt look hard to do, but doesnt look cheap either
can you save the pic and upload it, where its hosted is blocked by my work
but if its the one im thinking of, it has 3 lights and would need to be built from scratch also.
they arent at .. i got that from bkc's link website
simply showing it to you, you would probably need to start again from scratch to make something similar for the 33

"What surface finish is required to us an MLS head gasket?
A surface finish of 50 RA (roughness average) or finer, is recommended for a proper gasket seal. Anything rougher may conflict with the gasket design. "
Also
"Why does Cometic recommend MLS gaskets to be installed dry?
Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gaskets go on dry because they are coated with a sealant. Each MLS head gasket is coated with a .001" thick viton rubber that is bonded to the outer stainless steel layers. Adding an additional sealer can hinder the performance of an MLS head gasket. "
even with this second quote, i used a gasket sealant _ hylomar i think. spray on light coat only
Alloy can be mig'd - needs a new liner in the MIG (teflon), and Argon gas - mainly TIG'd though
Welding is Melting the metal .. so of course alloy melts
Mild steel needs to be coated/painted or it rusts - other 2 wont.
temps down is a tough one ... stainless retains heat more than alloy , but once hot alloy will cool down quicker .. best to keep it here as the fabrication section is for how to do something yourself, not generic questions like this.
stick with alloy or stainless.. make your choice according to the look your after (rest seems a bit of over thinking )
unarmed_skyline was talking about whats needed to make one from scratch
he is basically saying that the std airbox is in the same place for N/A and Turbo .. same goes for the TB
Alloy is lighter - harder to maintain the same surface finish without working on it
stainless is heavier - but once you install it it will look the same after time
sweet, been trying to guage the response from my HKS version 3040 with the 0.86 rear once the motor is built (prob another year at this rate) same cams etc
im willing to give this ago but need to find some shocks to use.
if your looking at $100 just in new struts, then the work involved in making them seems like the $200 from tein isnt really that bad.
i'll pop into a local wreckers and have a look around .. then i'll have a play
yes, as i said in the first post, member on GTR.co.uk has done it
he removed the clear outer lens , then painted the inner splitter piece car body colour.. bit of kitty hair to mold the plastic inner to the headlight body, sand back and paint.
1 and 2 -- most fuel cells have thier outputs on top of them, which means they will require a lift pump also, check will fuel cell makers on price and whats included - you may be able to get one with it istalled - also look into running a fuel level guage off this so you dont run out.
3) see pic attached - it matches your description .. as for can it be done ... well you will need to work out a vavling system that will allow this as i havent really seen one that will.
have a chat to places like motorsport connections in seven hills to see if they have something from speedflow etc that will do this for you.
undo the stopper arm by pulling the pin
open door
unbolt the door plug with 10mm
undo four bolts holding door while someone else holds door up so it doesn hit the deck
haha whoops - yeah the twin lines should have come from the cell not the stock tank
you would need a valve on both sides of the Y (before the twin pumps) to stop any vacuum effect from the dual pumps. this effectively removes the surge tank from the equation when running from the cell.
