car bra any good for temp use on the car when driving on the freeway.....thinking of getting one made up (going to b for dirt cheap thnx to mates contacts)...just want to avoid shit hitting the intercooler and bending the vents...getting a mesh on the intercooler was an option but not much room between the front bar and the intercooler...:(

any advice for me? :D

What material would the car bra be made of? Is it breathable? If not, how the hell are you meant to get air flow to your intercooler if you're blocking it? :blink:

I used to drive my car to work through the industrial estates, trucks everywhere, shit on the roads and never ending roadworks....Cooler was fine, copped a few bugs which wash off easily enough.

It was powdercoated, never had stone chips or anything

mine isnt...got too many of my vents bent from just one drive up and down from shepperton for deca...got heaps bent...so only coz i am getting one cheap and meant to be a good quality one i am thinking of getting it...but have no idea about them so was asking what material is the best and is it really a good option to prevent any furthur damage on the intercooler?

have too many stone chips on the car...the lip looks disgusting.. :(

lol I don't think car bra will cover cooler, that's just silly

you wrecken? i am not sure how the guy is going to make it...but ill only get one if it is made to protect my cooler from bugs and shit from bending the vents and let the cooler breath as close to it s max as possible....

They're fins not vents..

Never really seen any XR6 turbo's with car bras, but I'm sure they make em...it's probably a flexible mesh over the cooler intake...Wouldn't really leave the bra on when thrashing it though, would more than likely reduce the air flow through the cooler

    • Updated with the latest <68mm Xona Rotor turbos.  The two XRA options are on paper some of the compressor performance I've seen 
    • You see R34 GTRs listed for 200-300k are they really selling for these prices? Kinda seems like the same ones listed all the time. Even with R33 GTSTs looking at gumtree. You have an auto with a bitsa interior for 35k. Another one needs an engine rebuild and asking 24k. And then you have a stock in better than average condition for 45k. Nobody is ever going to pay these prices.
    • Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆
    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
