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

[davehoos]

its a heater coil or a matrix[sp]

us locals are thrifty and only want to replace the core.

plan ahead and replace foam seals and perisables.

How much oil do I need to get to do my box and diff on Saturday?

4L will get you by.

Box = 2L & R180 holds 1L, so 2 should do the R200.

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

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

[boj01]

can anyone enlighten me as to where the idle adjustment is on an fj20??

[Adam_RSX]

Its an allen key just in front on the lower bit of the throttle body (without going outside and checking... its fairly easy to work out which one it is)

[Adam_RSX]

No, I'm keeping the silly looking things

One guard is white and one guard is sorta gold though

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?

Makes SFA difference until you're well into illegal speeds

[Adam_RSX]

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.
