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.

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.

    • The max they would go for me is 50.
    • That cannot have been a fun set of drilling. The stock "baffle" looks identical to rb26, I just cut fuel cell foam to fit the full length under the baffle.
    • I understand your sarcastic exasperation. But to be fair - the baffles do indeed fit OEM cam covers. They did omit to say that you need to do a bunch of stuff. But they do fit them.
    • Got started on the modification to make these splash plates fit over the long weekend. First the surprisingly time consuming task of swapping all the cam cap bolts to Tomei cam cap studs. I did the method of removing one bolt at a time, applying loctite to the stud, double nutting to torque as the manual described. Then carefully unlocking the nuts without disrupting the torque of the stud (and going back to re-torque a few times when it slipped). Finally applying the nut and torquing to spec. Repeat x28 Next up I went about removing the stock cam cover baffle so I could ensure it was fully clean after drilling for stud clearance.  As the blind rivets holding the baffle on were domed I used a punch to mark the center then used 4mm drill bit to carefully drill out the rivet without going too far part the baffle. As seen in other thread here is what is inside the stock baffles I decided on M4x6mm bolts to bolt the baffle plate back on with. I used a 3.3mm drill bit with some tape to mark the depth at ~8mm. Next was to tap the threads using a cheap bunnings kit M4x0.7. With the baffle removed I also drilled out the spot welds holding in the baffle plate oil returns. Unsure whether this was the best option or if I should have cut holes in the Hypertune splash plates to allow the oil drains to still function... time will tell. I then removed the the Hypertune splash plates so I could rest the cam cover on top and use a dab of grease to mark where the studs impacted the oem cam cover baffle. The most obvious spot was on the hump from the stock mesh is held. Using this hole as an anchor I bolted the oem baffle plate back into the cam cover and lined up the Hypertune splash plate. Marked the rest of the holes for the studs and drill those out too. Total 32 holes drilled and 12 threads tapped on the passenger side cam cover alone for this bolt on part that totally clears all OEM cam covers.. Drivers side next as well as some E85 safe fuel foam to fill the space behind the behind cam cover baffle plates. oh and some lock nuts for the splash plates of course.
