A few R32 owners cut out the number plate bit to allow more flow to the FMIC. i want to cut it our as big as the FMIC. i know it has been done before but i cant find any pics of it. if anyone has any it would be much appretiated.

(dont know if bars are spec related but mines a TYPE-M, goes straight down instead of back behind)

cheers

Daniel

The guy spraying my car may be able to do a kit for doing this to your std bar, using an insert. Just paint it and cut the bar and it shoild look ok. I should be able to put up pics of my car in the next 2-3 weeks when its sprayed...if i pull my finger out and get the parts to finish the car

You don't necessarily need to block the holes, why not box off the intercooler to the radaitor?

If you have basic fiberglass skills this is too easy i have done it twice. If not you could either learn as i did or take it to a smash repair place or body kit specialist.

Since i love whoring pics of my car more than roy check my front bar out.

I recently bought my self a little fibreglass kit. :D

Time to learn.

Hehe good work, its quite easy to work with once u have a little practice. It really helps if you have a book to go by or someone to show you though.

Just watch when ur sanding it, getting that stuff in the pores on ur skin aint fun, well as far as i can remember :(

Yeh, im using an insert that goes over the bar.It looks great, and the the guys that did it for me did a good job as i was haveing hissy fits as i was too impatient to get a good finish. When the car is sprayed the extra something in store for the bar is going to look great :P

Dont the holes to the side look gay? Air is lazy and will go the path of least resistance..so the open sides will allow air to pass around the intercooler, not through.

I had seen plenty of cut bars but they where all nasty! So when I decided to do mine, i wanted it formed to feed/trap the air to go through the intercooler and when searching for anyone else that had done it I came accross GTS26's photos which is exactly how mine now looks but with an almost factory looking plastic meshing of all holes (M-spec bar) and a Genuine GTR intercooler for the stealth application. A design which has proven its worth when pulled over I've been waved through and even exclaimed once that I had a "nice, tidy ride" much to my amazement!

I also took the design a little further and made the hole in the front bar smaller than the intercooler core and getting the form work angled back out to the size of the core and beyond the core which is a proven method of getting air trapped to flow through the core for maximum cooling efficiency and by having a smaller mouth create a ventury(spelling?) effect speeding up he air to pass through as well.

I only paid $250 painted. How can you go wrong?

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.

      spot the stagea

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
