OKAY.

Anybody in Melbourne who really really needs their guides today, please call me.

I have pulled a favour at the subbies and he's cutting the panels for me right now.

Daz and Matt are coming to pick them up this arvo and if anybody needs one, for circuit racing or Auto Salon, please let me know ASAP so I can bend them up this arvo.

Call me if you need to.

I can wait til next week - no need to bust chops, I am sure my car will survive.

But if its not a hassle I can also pick up this weekend - but its not urgent for me mate :D

Its up to you Pete!

Ok after breaking two ring spanners I managed to get my guide on. Fits very nicely and looks great. Sidchrome tools definitely worth the price as a side note.

Will see what sort of temp improvements I see over the weekend.

Thanks.

I'm glad you like it. I think they all came up quite well.

Especially since I trial fitted every single guide to my car.

Anyway, take a photo for the guys and post it up.

Also, could you please give me a trader rating. Thanks.

And for those with Standard Bars and AFtermarket bars, here's the story.

The subbie who are cutting the bars were going to do them Friday afternoon, but as Friday's go, they didn't end up doing them.

They will be cut early Monday, and I expect to be able to ship them by Tuesday afternoon.

Sorry to Matt who drove all the way out to collect them.

Let you know Monday when they are going to be ready.

NISMO BAR PEOPLE

P.S. I will also be playing around with my nismo guide.

You can see on the guides you have that there is a section which ic cut out but unbent.

This is for later modification to force more air into the intake.

I didn't want to mees around with yours as I have a lot of playing to do with mine before I can finish it. Also, there's a good chanch that when I try to bend mine it will kink somewhere and I didn't want to damage yours.

When I do complete the mods, I will take heaps of photos for you all.

:D

Didn't fit. Well after buggerising around for a bit chopping off two little bits that were stopping the thing fitting on, then accidently cross threading one of the bolts (which stuffed the bracket not the bolt) I went to shut the bonnet and it wouldn't shut. I even tried sitting on it but no go.

It seems my bonnet has some bits on it that yours doesn't Bass. Not sure that I want to pull them off.

Serious?

Can you take some photos of the bit that your bonnet has please?

What little bits were stopping it going on?

I took some photos but haven't had a chance to up load them yet. Will do that tonight when I get home.

It's probably easier if I circle the bits on the photo before I post it tonight.

SHIT. I did't realise that his was a four dorr, but I'm not sure there would be any difference.

Having said that, I do remember a thread about ylwgtr's car and that he had a four door radiator support or something.....

Maybe there is a little difference.

Bugger.

4 door shouldn't be any different from the firewall forward.

see where you have put the foam stuff... I have these rubber flaps that hang down a little bit.

Ah, right.

Maybe they are factory attempts at the same idea??

If there are flaps there, it forces air to be pushed down underneath the radiator support.....

I guess.

does the nissan FAST software show car components... if it does,, it might show all the rubber under the bonnet,,

i don't have any rubber flaps!! and mine is a series II ,, talk about cost cutting bye nissan.. can someone post pics of their bonnet,, i might go to nissan and get some rubber flaps for the bonnet,, just need to know how many there are meant to be, and location,,

atleast i have the bonnet lining,, sheesh!!

Ok here is two pictures. The red circles are where I had to modify. The middle one is because once the guide was on I couldn't get a finger under the latch to open it. The one on the right is not the same as the bit on the far left as it should have been but that's no big deal, I just cut it off with a hacksaw.

The pic of the bonnet is self explanatory really. The rubber flaps are held on with a bit of metal and so when you add the bit of rubber attached to the bonnet to the metal holding it on to the rubber that normally hangs down but can't because of the air guide it's all about 2cm thick.

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
