justinfox Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 After the last Eastern Creek track day I realised that my Nismo floor matt melted onto the carpet which melted into the tar underneath! Since then I've stripped the interior of my R32 GT-R. All the tar is coming right out. I drove it to the paintshop to get the whole interior (cage included) resprayed and on the way there (only a 30 minute drive) my foot started burning!!! NUTS! That layer of wooly heat/sound deadening material under there sure does block off a whole lot of heat!!! Any suggestions on what to do after the interior respray? I'm thinking of buying some heat proof blanket with adhesive backing and laying that out on the chassis and centre tunnel. Any other ideas out there?

Beer Baron Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 lol. I could have warned you about this. if you think it's bad on your side, try the passenger side!!! much worse. I had my shoe melt to the floor in gtrjason's race GTR. was very painfull in the passenger seat after about 2 laps. yes, you need the stick on, heat reflective silver stuff (like they use on space ships etc) and basically like the underside of the tranny tunnel with it, and a bit of the surrounding area. some kind of wrap, or coating on the front pipes wouldn't go astray either.

dontfeelcold Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Im glad I read this. Maybe thats why in the Gibson GTR there is an alloy plate on the drivers side floor, maybe with insulation under it?

raz0r$harP.UK Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 How about a Dynamat product? http://www.dynamat.com/products_intro.html Mainly used around here for sound deadening but their other products (Extremeliner, Dynaliner) do heat insulation. Justin if you're interested ring Marty Price (FHRX) - I'm sure he can tell you all about it, and is a Dynamat retailer...

baboo Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Is this the type of reflective film that works? http://www.mmsport.com.au/productview.php?...d=Heat_Products Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/156255-stripped-interior/#findComment-2915640 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Just a thought,,,but why not try aluminum checkerplate raised like 1 cm above the floor using spacers. Lots of race cars use this system.

justinfox Posted February 20, 2007 Author Share Posted February 20, 2007 Cheers Neil. I was thinking to put that heat shield blanket/sheet under the checkerplate kickplate which I'll get the boys at Westside to make me. Should be good!
