Hey,

Im looking for a place which can refill C02 bottles, i will be using the smallest standard Co2 extinguisher bottle size (if that matters).

I am aware i can get it refill at BOC gas but i belived the price is alittle high.

If i remember correctly paul was talking about where to get it done cheaply At dragwars?

Thanks Michael

Is it just straight co2? any idea what the fill point looks like? doubtful, but depending on the type of fill nipple might be able to get it done at the paintball field.. like I said though, doubtful. I imagine the fill point to be similar to that on my HPA tank which is a different fill point to my co2 tank.

its N2O mitchy :woot:

We have big CO2 bottles for kegs at work and they only cost like $30 to fill. There about half the size of a scuba tank. I'm not sure where they get filled but BOC would be the best best, it'd cost like $20 tops. Welding stores might also be another one, I think they use co2 sometimes aswell.

Is this for a homemade inter cooler sprayer? I was thinking about doing it with water but this looks like way more fun :O

I'd just do it for the CO2 purges >_<

Generally any pressure vessel has to be hydrostatically tested every 1-3 years depending on the type of vessel and it's contents. Off the top of my head the HPA cylinders I use for paintball have to be tested every 3 years. If they are not in date you will be refused filling.

I asked at work about the keg CO2 bottles. Bottles are 2.6kg and $260 to buy, they fill them in an exchange program. Its $20 to get it filled at beer tech (sp?) in Balcatta.

I wouldn't mind trying this if you ever find someone that will refill retrofitted fire extinguishers. Ebay has a few nitrous solenoids that would work (and can be used for nitrous ;))

If you could successfully get the retrofitted fire extinguisher hydrostatically tested, there should be no problem getting people to fill them.

If you want I can find the details of the guys we use to get our tanks tested.

      You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before

      OK, so a bunch of trim needs to come off to get to the rear shock top mounts. Once the seat is out of the way, the plastic trim needs to come off. Remove 2 clips at the top then slide the trim towards the centre of the car to clear the lower clip Next you need to be able to lift the parcel shelf, which means you need to remove the mid dark trim around the door, and then the upper light trim above the parcel shelf. The mid trim has a clip in the middle to remove first, then lift the lowest trim off the top of the mid trim (unclips). At the top there is a hidden clip on the inner side to release first by pulling inwards, then the main clip releases by pulling the top towards the front of the car. The door seal comes off with the trim, just put them aside. The the lighter upper trim, this is easy to break to top clips so take it carefully. There is a hidden clip towards the bottom and another in the middle to release first by pulling inwards. Once they are out, there are 3 clips along the rear windscreen side of the panel that are hard to get under. This is what the rear of the panel looks like to assist:

      R34 manual conversion speed signal wire finding, need help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. Autos typically work from the speed sensor on the pinion shaft of the diff. I also think that even if you have a proper speed sensor for the bog manual in the manual box, that the signal it outputs is not compatible with the auto dash anyway. You should consult that manual (the book, not the gearbox).

      And I just realised that that advice is slightly nonsensical for a GTR, because you need 2 of them. But it is otherwise true.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Having had a reasonable look at the car, I'll be able to remove the (one time) rams and retract the hinge (they are held in the down location by a tiny (m3?) sacrificial screw) which will get it physically back in shape. From there if you remove the rams you need a resistor to turn off the airbag light (as Mark said, there are plug in kits and I might go that way because its reversible). And...per all the threads on here, even if you have the resistors to turn off the airbag light, the bonnet light will stay on as it writes to the airbag computer history - that is either replace the airbag controller, reprogam the EPROM (if I can work out how), or remove the globe from the dash. Having seen how sensitive this system is, if I had my time over I'd pre-emptively remove the rams, even on a road car, because this is all a very unnecessary pain in the arse. Reminds me, time to go and have a look at the Fuga too....
