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

Hahah you know that pic of my car has a copyright on it :D ,lol just kiding, i was actually going to do the same thing as your thinking about, get the bumper cut the whole size of the cooler, i think it looks good (but only if its done right) i have some pics on my other computer i will try and post them up tomorow

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

yeh didnt think that it might need to be reinforced. front bar seems to be fair sturdy but will hafta look into it.

And cheers for lettin me use your pic. very nice car youve got there.

This one looks like its been done a bit ruggered

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?

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
