R30 Extractors And Hotplate Q


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I own a mr30 sedan and have my eye on some patrol 2.8 petrol extractors from a local wrecker and was just wondering if some1 could please tell me the amount I need to bring the flange back to make them fit.

I also scored a pair of s1 red on red hotplates for it for free from a friend who wrote his off they have a chunk missing right at the top of the left one and i wouldnt worry as its hardly noticable when on the car but they get water behind, I was just wondering if anyone knows what i could repair this with doesnt have to look that great as i want them in more to make sure i like that style before tracking a good cond set down.

Thanks in advance,

Paul.

flange wont need modification. the last bend before the pipes go rear-ward will maybe need bending. (just depends, not every set out there is the same. there are a few manufacturers)

clear lexan/perspex or whetever the lights are made of is very hard to repair properly. most adhesives and epoxy will make the inside go all foggy and shit. your best bet is to just use the Aus lights, hotplates arent that special (car wont go any faster)

thanks for the replay mag86 are thats even easier to just get it bent to fit looked at mine properly i dont have the flange their anymore anyway my engine pipe has just been expanded at the end and welded straight to my 2.5' exhaust, I might just have a play with the lights, i have some plastics that might work.

If your trying to repair the lights, like just cracks, get some MEK and that will fuse the plastic together. If you cant get that, superglue is your only option and as Mags said, anything you use is going to create a frosting effect anywhere you put it and the end result will be VERY ordinary, but there is light at the end of the tunnel.

As you have S1 lights, that's all red, maybe you could consider colour coding the outer red zone and then nobody would be any the wiser and the light area would only be the visible red.

Just a thought that might get your problem solved.

Cheers, D

Paul,

You might be interested in these?

The left appears ok with a chip out of the right so you could end up with a good set for a little money.

I've seen those lights in person, i've been to that guys place to get some R31 Ti rims.

They looked fine to me, Chip is quite small 2cmish.

2cm sounds like a fair-sized chip. That's big enough to be called a chunk. Right-hand tail light looks a bit odd in the eBay pic, centre line doesn't seem straight.

Hotplate auction ended with no bids.

I sent the seller two questions (1. asking for better pics via email and 2. asking if the wiring looms were included) and got no replies.

    • Should be fine, if you have it sitting too far in, you end up just spraying the walls and have shit idle. You "can" run them like that, however I don't think it's a great idea (also depends on your plenum, might be good to just get the injector bosses first, mock it up and see if you need to get the bottom extension) Ideally your injectors, with the extension should look like this  (Not my photos, just Google)
    • Thanks for the replies guys, it's really appreciated.  It seems the kit was supposed to come with those injector bosses but hasn't. Unsure if they'll help as even with the adaptors to make them a 3/4 height injector they still sit too far out so mount the fuel rail?
    • Hello, I am looking to replace my two rear drive shafts in my R34 N/A Skyline but I'm finding conflicting information. Do S13/S14/S15 or R32 NA/ R33 NA fit? https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-rear-drive-shaft-l-h-nissan-silvia-s13-s14-s15-3x2-type?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOoqY7EwDaYCUoUU3mxxZ_qrUXkVVHiV4MIN7ozoar6scjnEiekv- would this fit?
    • Hoping they release an R34 getrag pull type.  
    • You need the bottom spacers, to make it a 3/4 height injector. https://www.efihardware.com/products/3040/injector-adapter-lower-for-extended-nose-injectors   And you'll need to buy the right injector bosses, these "might" fit. You'll need to measure it up. https://www.nzefi.com/product/raceworks-lower-injector-mounting-boss-kit-for-r33-rb25det-s14-s15-sr20det/
