After the last Eastern Creek track day I realised that my Nismo floor matt melted onto the carpet which melted into the tar underneath!

Since then I've stripped the interior of my R32 GT-R. All the tar is coming right out. I drove it to the paintshop to get the whole interior (cage included) resprayed and on the way there (only a 30 minute drive) my foot started burning!!!

NUTS! That layer of wooly heat/sound deadening material under there sure does block off a whole lot of heat!!! Any suggestions on what to do after the interior respray? I'm thinking of buying some heat proof blanket with adhesive backing and laying that out on the chassis and centre tunnel. Any other ideas out there?

lol. I could have warned you about this. if you think it's bad on your side, try the passenger side!!! much worse. I had my shoe melt to the floor in gtrjason's race GTR. was very painfull in the passenger seat after about 2 laps.

yes, you need the stick on, heat reflective silver stuff (like they use on space ships etc) and basically like the underside of the tranny tunnel with it, and a bit of the surrounding area. some kind of wrap, or coating on the front pipes wouldn't go astray either.

How about a Dynamat product?

Mainly used around here for sound deadening but their other products (Extremeliner, Dynaliner) do heat insulation.

Justin if you're interested ring Marty Price (FHRX) - I'm sure he can tell you all about it, and is a Dynamat retailer...

do it right the first time

Get some gold foil

Line the tranny tunnel and floorpan with it

that will solve almost all your problems

i would put some thermo blanket on teh floorboard also for secondary measure

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
