Ash, do you know off the top of your head what the results of that test was. I was half thinking about pulling mine off my Nismo's. Are they just there to cause turbulance for the sensor? It wouldnt hurt to get rid of the metal in the AFM's i would think?
Whether it is related or not I do not know, but in a wind tunnel they use mesh to "condition" the airflow. They also use honeycomb to a similar effect.

I know Paul (DirtGarage) pulled out his mesh long ago when he still had the stock turbos

Be there was a quantifiable gain or not though im not sure.

And ye, you'd think the mesh was there for just dust/bits of poop... but if there is a purpose in a wind tunnel maybe there is more too it?

if you read this article, you'll be down in the garage with a screwdriver to remove the mesh within hours..

I asked in another topic but no replies so I'll ask you instead it must be fresh in your mind..

do you feel any real boost in 2nd or 3rd gear? or does it really need 4500 in 4th or higher, to hit 1 bar?

Yeah, you definitely do feel boost in the lower gears post 4k. If you're taking off you have already broken the 60kmh speed limit by the time you shift to 2nd anyway. I have never gone 4.5k+ in 4th gear, as I don't want my car to be impounded :domokun:

    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together 
    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
    • No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️
