Hi all,

Over the last year and a half I have been engaged in the rebuild of my R34. During this time we have spent a lot of time and effort adding small touches here and there to make things a bit more unique. Some are specific, and others are more generic (i.e. for everyone)

One such part that we came up with was a cover plate for the R34GTT Power Steering Cap. Even though the standard one was in OK shape, I found that it was a "dull" point when compared to the rest of my engine bay which is mostly filled with shiny bits n pieces. So as per usual, the spanners were dropped and the drawing board was manned. The design brief was "simple, easy to fit, and attractive". Once the design was finalized, Ann Harris @ K-Bar was contacted to do the hard work - as always she delivered with fabulous results.

Business Details:

Ann Harris

K-Bar Laser Etching

http://k-bar.com.au/

All our initial designs involving this technology were sent to numerous suppliers around Australia. Ann came back with the lowest quote from everyone, and was happy to assist with material choice, artwork and other recommendations. In total, around 20 suppliers were contacted and these guys were by far the best deal for our purposes (i.e. once off designs and productions)

What's on Offer

For those who took part in the R34 Fuse Box Plate Group Buy, the quality of the item is already known... the photos below show MY OWN version of the Power Steering Cap Plate - the final picture is the artwork that Ann has done for me, so I can offer it to you guys. Please note, even though I am 99% sure that this is good for ALL Skylines (dimension wise), please check by taking a ruler to your engine bay!

The third picture is the artwork sent to me this morning by Ann - there are a couple of designs there to choose from. I am under the impression that the numbers required for this GB are TOTAL UNITS, not UNITS PER DESIGN. So mixing n matching the order is fine.

Pricing

Ann is still finalizing the quote based on 0-10, 10-20, and 20+ units.

Just like the last group buy, pricing will include 1x Plate, Postage, and maybe a little surprise (not guaranteed)

GROUP BUY END DATE AT THIS STAGE IS: 15/11/2008 (or earlier pending public interest)

Specifics

Material: 3mm Metalgraph Plus (brushed stainless look)

Etching: All etching will be in BLACK (no exceptions)

Holes: No mounting holes will be needed; two small dabs of adhesive are all that is required for mounting

Care: Minimal care is required, this material is scratch proof - an odd wipe wouldn't hurt though

Interested pending price. Won't want to pay much for such a little thing :dry:

Is one of the bottom 'GT-4's supposed to read 'GT-T'? I would prefer that.

      If you have a Nissan from Japan and model year is from 2016 to 2024, just say you have an Infiniti Q50 4 doors... Why are telling you have an import?

      Rb25det s1 igniter pin out

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      It's definitely not firing order. But I think it should also be made clear that the output that gets fired is the one that corresponds to the input that was switched at the ECU. So you could scramble them up totally so that the numbers meant nothing, and so long as you had the inputs and outputs matched up, you'd be fine. The reason I make that point is that blanket statements about what it is supposed to be don't always hold out in a world where there's been 30 years for the wiring to have been stuffed with.

      Hello, im asking about this guy - coil igniter on rb25det series 1 r33 s1 engine. I need to know if pins on coil side indicate coils itself from 1-6 or it’s firing order so pin nr1 goes to 1st fired spark plug:(1pin-1firing spark, 2pin-5order firing spark, 3-3, 4-6, 5-2, 6-4…)   photo: https://files.fm/f/k9pdug38uq

      Powder coat on mating surface

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Remove it. Certainly from the hub face. I'm not in love with leaving it on the wheel assembly surface either - but if it is common to do so, then....maybe fair enough. It's not difficult. Just time consuming. For the hub face you just need a large enough block and suitable grades of abrasive paper to get it off flat. The same would be true of the assembly face. Just more time consuming, probably needing a lot more care. It's defo going to be easier just to assemble the wheels as is, seal them up, and check them periodically to see if there's any movement or loosening of the fasteners, than it will be to remove it though.

      Powder coat on mating surface

      By dyl33 · Posted

      Hello, I got my wheels powder coated and they've powder coated bloody everything the mating surface and hub (even told them not to lol) anyway should I leave it or remove it. (Would be very hard) I've searched a lot and lots of powder coaters don't mask the mating surface but do mask the hub surface. How bad it powder coat on the mating surface or hub? My question is what should I do?
