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 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.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My Neo turbo only went last year. Not 35 years old, to be sure - closer to 25. But still.

      There's no way they left the factory like that. In R chassis there is nothing stopping the steering wheel being put on one spline out from straight, and then adjusting the steering arms to "correct" it (sort of). As well as the indicator cancelling there would also be an issue with how tight you can turn in one direction to the other. The other (less likely) possibility is that the "clock spring" (the circular electronic part that allows the wheel to turn while still having an electrical connection for horn and any other buttons like cruise) might not be in place correctly. I don't have any pics of the R33 (or Stagea) setup but there would be a circular locating tab which sits in the steering column to have it straight...if that is not seated properly then the indicators may not cancel at the right point (and, you might also get a HICAS error since it would think you are driving in circles)

      It will mostly be bad scoring on the bores, which you can almost certainly fix by machining for oversize pistons. I have to say, I am super surprised that any standard turbos made it 35 years down the track before exploding!

      What's the difference? I would have said that between the front and rear axle lines, there's no noticeable diff between a GTR and an NA 2-door.
