A set of MR30 panels and lights will cost you $200 and get it on the road, and will only take you an hour to swap over when you get the Tekamon stuff

Hows about no?? It left the road as a tekaman and its coming back as one as well!! Besides, im to lazy to swap panels around again, i just want to do it once and thats it!!

Besides that, the longer its off the road for, the more stuff that is getting bought for it!! My cooler is getting modified in the next week or 2 and hopefully i'll have that wastegate and manifold in the next few weeks as well!! Should be some fun soon :)

All thats different is the bonnet, lights, grille and filler panel, and the bonnet catch support

I'll continue to enjoy driving mine :rofl:

I do have a Tekamon bonnet, lights, filler panel spare atm, plus a set of guards

Hey, if you have the takemon bits spare, would you be interested in selling them?

I have an MR30, and want a takemon front end. are the gaurds any diferent to MR30?

Wouldn't wanna lend me some stuff till i get mine would ya :) carn i know ya do :P

TEKAMON Vs STANDARD Fronts

For those that are wanting a performance vehicle?

The DRAG co efficients of both fronts are Tekamon/Iron Mask 0.37 yet the standard front with large head lights etc has 0.46.

Some perspective is the Z32 300ZX has a drag co efficient of 0.32.

The lower the number the less air drag.

Interesting,but also for consideration for those wanting a performance vehicle would be air flow to intercooler,radiator,oil cooler,etc....Surley the early style front would be better in that regard?

BTW,the mighty HR31 would have to have a pretty good drag c/e ,having flush fitting side glass,etc? Wouldn't have any figures on them would you?

I could... just dont put em through a shop :D

One guard is white and one guard is sorta gold though

Guards im not interested, neither a bumper, just headlights, filler panel and type c spoiler..im meant to have some coming last i heard they were being sent last week but i haven't heard anything since then*shrugs* who knows..If your willing to lend them rad, speed the process up, if not sall cool cool

There is an excellent article in Autospeed this issue about airflow through the coolers and believe it or not, it has nearly SFA to do with the size of the front opening (grille area) that determins the amount of airflow.

It has everything to do with the amount of pressure in the engine bay and how successfully you disperse it.

Lift the back of the bonnet about a cm and you will be surprised how much difference is in the airflow.

I am getting a couple of the gauges that measure the pressures and do the tests myself and then I will let everyone know the outcome.

DRAG, has an effect at 1 kph, but a much greater effect at over 100.

Take these "shopping trolley handles" that are on Hyundai Excel's for instance, a mate took the one off his misses's car and got an improvemrnt in fuel economy of over 5% and it has never been over 80 kph in it's life.

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
