Hi guys,

I was wondering if there existed a stencil for the ARC symbol for intercoolers.

I have a twin entry M079 ARC intercooler for a BNR34 but as you can see from the image below, the symbol has faded quite a bit. Although, it did start off as white colour.

I know I can print one out, but to get the exact height, width etc would almost be almost impossible.

Wouldn't be too hard David.

Gave you got a sticker guy down there? They could measure it up and do their thing.

Measure the entire grill area and locate where the ARC stands. Then they print out a vinyl stencil cut out, spray away.

I wouldn't mind getting hold of the template if you can get one done aswell. You can't even make out the ARC letters on my cooler.

Also, just out of interest - have you got your bov's plumed back with this set-up and what intake set-up are you running? (stock box/pods/arc box etc)

Someone do the stencil thing as Owgasm recommended please and I'll buy it haha.

I've emailed ARC brazing to see if they can provide a stencil, but I highly doubt the chances of that happening.

if you can still make out the writing (you can on yours, but this comment is also for others wanting the stencil as well), simply mask up along the edges of the writing (and then tape up some newspaper obviously) and then you can spray it. just do a few light coats to minimalise the spray getting in under the tape between the fins.

you could also make a stencil for future use if you wanted. simply mask it up, get a sheet of clear contact or sticker vinyl, stick it over the tape, get a craft knife and run it around the inside edge of the tape (making sure to leave little tabs to the inside of the A and the R so they always go back in the same spot every time). then pull it of and stick it back onto the backing, or some thin plastic. then simply cut out the stencil. or simply trace around on some tracing paper after masking up, and then you can trace it onto some contact to stick on next time you want to paint it.

Also need some hard pipes on that twin entry ;)

yeah, it's just not in the photo. The cooler and hard pipes are both on the car atm :)

I'll guess I'll try to do this first! Use masking tape, as making a stencil seems pretty hard. Although I guess the issue would be getting the curved edges to be exact. I guess I'll do a DIY if I try it and turns out something like this!

making a stencil is pretty easy, get someone to load the vector up and print it to the correct size, , mark it up on some manila folder material etc, cut it out with a sharp blade, stick it over and spray it.

Okay guys! This method about making a stencil would be great!

If someone would like to make one, I will happily chip in with them and help get it made up. I just dont have any hook ups to a sticker/stencil maker or anything.

Would be great if someone could organise! I'm very keen on getting this ARC symbol looking new again and will do whatever is reasonable! :)

if you use a thin tape to tape it up you should be able to get the curve right, as well as cutting it with a craft knife

      Anyone have this problem with their temperature gauge?

      I'm with GTS, that's not an actual overheat issue. That's an electrical issue.

      So, it's clearly an electrical problem. Either with the gauge itself, or the sender. It appears to be voltage sensitive (ie, alternator output affects the reading.

      Yes, at this stage of SAU threads, I  automatically assume that anyone here knows that everything depends on each and every setup and its choice of parts and what an individual wants from the setup. I think your misunderstanding what I've said, I'm not saying your curve will move to the right.. I'm stating the opposite; that my setup has a much larger turbo than my last one, my current exhaust manifold runners are 2-3x longer than the last one, the intercooler is longer and thicker (hks 103mm thick), the itbs are now oversized from 45mm up to 49mm, and the plenum is now a larger Nismo plenum that's been port matched. As a result, I'm making more power, torque and boost 1000rpm earlier than my last setup. My curve moved left, in a big way. You guys with 800-1000+hp turbos should be considering hks v-cam or the other Japanese company Sakura who makes RB25 Neo vct adaptor kits for RB26's. they all make more power / boost / torque far earlier and higher peak numbers. Dahtone Racing modifies the Hks v-cam systems to his own specs and he also developed the worlds first and best dbw individual throttle body kits, to complement his V-cam. Every single car is 800-1200+hp and they all produce huge gains in response and peak power.

      I have a 2008 Skyline 370gt with about 160,000 km on the clock currently. A while ago, I noticed the temp gauge would start climbing but it comes down when I give it some throttle. I took it into the shops. The technicians comments are transcripted below. Reported they couldn't find anything wrong with the vehicle mechanically and they pressure tested the cooling system. Funnily enough, the technician commented that the temperature dropped back down when the car is stationary but this is when I'd notice the temp gauge to be climbing. Just wondering if anyone else experienced anything similar to enlighten me? Cos at the onset, the temps were going up one tick and then comes back down when I step on it. Now, the temps are climbing all the way to the top of the gauge, and it's making me very nervous lol. It also doesn't come down to the neutral position anymore. PS I do have a small exhaust leak near the drivers side caused by when I got f**ked by a really steep driveway at a mall I never visited before. Not sure if this would affect the sensor. Technician comments: Check and verify Fan/Cooling system - ALL OK max 106*C and fans operating at 100% Cools down right away. Checked Fan Operation - 55%@101*C, 85% @ 104*C and 100% @ 105*C Vehicle did not exceed these temperatures with max load. Temperature recovered back to 99*C after fan operation while vehicle Stationary.

      It really depends on your setup. Mine is 'accidently' more suited to revving higher. bigger cams, turbo etc. Plus my super long first takes donkey years to come onto boost, so if it will move my power band to the right, maybe i'll pass on this. i have a G45-1500 going on there soon which I suspect might make it more of a fat pig.
