Urethane Injection

Heres a link to one of the companys that do urethane injection. you basically drill some holes in your side sills and b pillars and pour in the mixture that hardens inside and stiffens up the chassis.

these guys sell it for 19000yen and another 50000 to 60000yen for putting it in your car, or you can DIY but if you make a mistake while putting it in the sills it is impossible to remove.

All the positive reviews ive read are from people who've used it and had success. All the negative reviews are from people that havent tried but point out all the things that could potentially go wrong with it

lol, well I've done it but got no feedback yet, the car is awhile away from the track...we just used boring old heatproof expanding foam. Sills, A and B pillar and chassis rail (still to go)

did it on the ae86 without any other forms of bracing (only because it was gonna be acid dipped) as a test.

Flex was about 10mm along the B pillar with a jack on full height under the engine crossmember without any form of bracing.

with the urathane expanding foam in the door rails flex was 6mm.

with the roll cage mounted, the flex was 1mm.

I didn't find it doing wonders for the car, a good solid rollcage is much better IMHO. If you are gonna use it, make sure its not a polymer (urathane has many different variants) that absolbs moisture... although the whole idea of expanding foam is the air bubbles in it, which could be home to condensation.

obviously welding it would provide more strength and a permenant fixture...however if it needs to come out at somestage then its gonna be a bitch. Bolting might be the case then. Personally i would weld it in, but im a fabricator so im completely biased haha.

Sorry Duncan, never answered. I've never done it and find the concept difficult to explain in the lack of structural improvement it will offer other than crush resistance. A cage and seam welding/added stiffening is the only solution.

The only ways to measure a real difference are to use a calibrated floor and point measure device or a chassis dyno. In a sloppy car it may help, but there are other more realistic ways of dealing with sloppiness.

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
