Hi all,

I just bought an APEXi strut brace off a guy in Qld.

On arrival here I noticed two small scratches where something has been rubbing against it, which werent evident in the photo - but bottom line is I dont wont to put it on my car anymore.

The guy in Qld has agreed to take it back, as he has others who were interested in buying it, BUT it will cost me once more in postage, which was $15.

It is annodised red, with carbon inlay and a silver APEXi sticker in the middle.

If anybody here would like to buy it, I will sell it for $155 (originally cost me $170 plus post), as I will get $170 back for it, just it will cost me another $15.

Pictures are on this thread: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=29412

Cheers

Steve

Steve,

I might be interestd in the brace,price is ok,my only problem is that it will fit over the top of my new (un-fitted) motor.I've built up (Mick at Tilbrooks) a good healthy 3ltr but it fits in at approx 30.0 to 40.0 mm higher(dont yet know if i will even get my 'glass bonnet closed)Is the carbon just rapped around the anodised alloy tubing or is it inserted into carbon tubing like we do on the carbon olympic bikes?By the way will back you in any way possible with your regency(project)- i havent been done yet(only a matter of time once back on the road!!) but if i can help in any other way please feel free to ask...

Regards,

SKYLINE....

skyline, thanks for the support on the regency thing.

The brace sits with a fair bit of clearance, it sits just under the bonnet (only just). The carbon is inlaid, its flush with the alloy. I think the 3L is 30mm higher than the 2.5 from memory. Hard to say I suppose until the engine is in. I had heaps of clearance, but I am running a trust plenum.

legend, no probs I will pm you my phone number, monday or tuesday is good, whatever is good for you.

Steve

    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
    • I just quote the Rolling Stones. Paint it black.
