fire extinguisher

Hi guys

Where is a good place to put a fire extinguisher in a r32

i was thinking in the boot or near the passenger side console. Any advice???

You want it in reach of the driver. What good is it in the boot?

I put mine to the right of the passengers right leg, on the wall leading up to the stereo console area.

If it's a track requirement it has to be in reach of the driver when strapped in as far as I can guess.

I'm mounting mine to the raised floor part behind the glovebox (the tunnel that the driveshaft goes under).

I know of people who have mounted it in the passenger area (although I kept away from that to stop them from getting a fire extinguisher in their knee incase of an accident).

Also seen people use a plate to mount them to the seat rails and have it just behind them.

Don't get the crappy noname/cheapy ones from autobarn/repco/wherever. Mine leaked all over the place (both of them) and when I had a fire they were both useless. Garage-13 sell chubb ones pretty cheap.

I mounted mine on the wall of the rear passengers side footwell. Just beside the fastener that hold the rear seat down.

I will get photos of mine and my mates (180sx) to show where we mounted them. I would have liked to mount mine where his is, but couldnt due to the r32 floor shape.

I made a bracket up & bolted the extinguisher to the front of the drivers seat rail. Means you can't move the seat forward, but as I don't share the car with anyone - who cares. When you buy your extinguisher get one with a metal bracket (Mine is a Quell) & also have a look at the date stamped on the handle - go through the boxes & find the most recent.

Mines bolted on near the passengers left leg. The seat can still be adjusted all the way and it doesnt get in the way of the passenger getting in and out. And easy to fit there, no making or adjusting the brakcet that came with the extinguisher.
