Attention Fabricators

Just wondering if anyone among us is handy with the old sheet metal (fabricator).

We're trying to get my mates bike on the road legally which would mean an extension to the rear guard.

Dotars require the rear guard to extend over the tyre to at least 45 degrees.

The present guard is integral to the frame and therefore cannot be detached so the extension piece would have to be welded whilst attached to the frame (obviously we would have to remove the rear wheel first).

Oh, and obviously the rear guard would have to be painted again by his painter.

HELP! :)

Thanks Luke & Andy.

If you can appreciate, we need not only a qualified fabricator to do this but he needs to be very good as this thing is worth as much as a 35 GTR and the job has to be done right the 1st time.

That's why I didn't put my hand up, I'm only a year out and the owner is most probably bigger and scarier then me(that's not hard lol). The guy I have in mind is likely to say no depending what he's got in his shed/ if he's confident enough so don't hold your breath..

You could always call up am performance, his tig skills look really good, just a matter of whether he can form it.

I'm sorry to hi-jack the thread but I also need a bit of help with a pod filter enclosure. We've got it cut out of sheet metal, but it needs to be bent into shape and we don't have bending equipment so we're not sure the best way to do it. I'm guessing we'd use a work bench and try to bend it over the edge? It doesn't need to be air tight but I don't want wonky sides or it won't fit properly.

If anyone has some suggestions I'm all ears :)

Yeah I appreciate that Andy...show him the pic if you like.

I actually thought of AM Performance as well to be honest.

      R32gtr sputtering and stalling

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Silly question, as I bet you've checked already, but the motor turns over by hand yes? I suspect Neil has a spare starter, though if not, I believe I have a spare R33 (or two) starter.

      NPboosted manifold fitting purpose

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah just run one of those posts to the Link like GTSBoy said. From google it looks like a "mishimoto boost controller" is a manual boost controller. Since you already have the link just buy any MAC valve and plumb it in where the mishimoto is now. Wires to the solenoid should come from the Link's / standard loom boost control wiring (I guess you have an r32, not sure if it is gtst or gtr, if it is GTR where is a 2 pin connector near the engine bay fuse box/injector resistor for that purpose, assuming the standard boost controller is gone)

      No. The ECU's hose is for a connetcion between the plenum (assuming single throttle body, not ITBs) and the ECU's internal MAP sensor. This is the primary load measurement of the ECU - so you need to get this one right. This has NOTHING to do with the boost contol. The wastegate also needs to see a boost signal - but it is actually far better for it NOT TO COME FROM THE PLENUM (again, assuming single TB, and not ITBs). This should come from the turbo's compressor housing (assuming there is a nipple on there, which there might well not be), or on the boost pipe somewhere between the turbo and the TB. On the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler is usually most convenient. The boost controller is then located between that boost source and the wastegate, ACCORDING TO THE CORRECT PLUMBING DRAWING FOR THAT BOOST CONTROLLER. There is no general diagram or instruction that will be correct for every case. Then the other ports on the plenum are for purposes such as Duncan described. If the boost controller has an internal MAP sensor, for a boost display, etc, then it will want to be hooked up there, alongside the ECU and the FPR.

      Ok gotcha, so one post to fpr  another to bov  and I have the mishimoto boost controller and a link g4+ so I’d just have the tuner set it up properly. For the last two from plenum post throttle to  ecu/ boost controller, I know that I have a hose coming from the ecu that I was confused about so I assume that’s what connect to the boost controller from the ecu? And then the last is just from plenum to boost controller then to wastegate?
