Thought I'd undertake a little project to mount the SAFC above my headunit.

The aim is to make it look as standard as possible.

I'll update the first post as I go along, this is my progress so far.

1. Take measurements and mock up using cardboard

2. Ensure clearance with interior trim

3. Make sure SAFC actually fits

4. Transfer measurements onto plastic

5. Cut the plastic & trial fit using blu tac

6. Super glue the plastic bits together and again, trial fit.

7. Make a little stand for the SAFC using plastic - determine your angles and driver position. Make sure that there's enough space behind the stand to tuck the cable away.

8. Trial fit again - make sure the climate control doesnt hinder view.

9. Make a backing plate for the whole thing (kinda optional, but prevents stuff from falling back in). Ensure the hole is large enough for the harness plug to go in and out.

10.

*I have yet to decide on how to do the finish. Maybe a black plastic face plate? Spray paint it black?

*Pictures are out of order, I'll fix them up when I finish

*Keep mocking it up in the car - do it the first time and do it right

    • Yeah i get what you mean. Mine thought i wouldnt mind being a bit quieter overall as well as have the drone taken out is more what i was trying to say. Im going to start with a mid muffler, and go from there 
    • I'm struggling with a similar issue on an RB26. Make sure you know whether it's volume or resonance. Mine seemed louder when cruising compared to at idle. I downloaded a decibel meter for my phone. Take my less than scientific results with a couple grains of salt, but the decibels were the same at idle and at cruise. Mine seems to be a resonance problem. At 2500-3500 rpm, the sound is different and "louder" to my ear. I think it's vibration from the pipe, the car body, the floor or something creating tone. Anyway, consider that it may not be strictly a volume problem.
    • Does this count as a time trial as well? I got all gold in the master super licence (1 lap time trial) and received a McLaren MP4/4 for my trouble.  If anyone else has done this, did you ride the wall right around the first long right hander at Lake Louise snow track to get gold? I couldn't do it any other way... best I could do without riding the was was within 2 tenths of the gold time.
    • I definitely get the low power, sporty car to drive to smash gears but not be doing eleventy million miles an hour! It makes all the normal drives fun!   Rev match tune sounds like the funs! I didn't know the NC had a DBW throttle!   As for me, still have the Skyline, it still has the Barra in it. It's been pushed to the side of the workshop at the moment. Pretty much waiting on me finishing the wiring, and dropping new fuel lines in. Got myself an ACDC Tig end of last year so been teaching myself TIG welding to build a few things for the Skyline. The missus wrote off her GTB liberty at the end of last year, and got it back on salvage rights stupid cheap. It's also still registered, so will mean easier for me to take to the track already done most of the panel damage, just playing "clear the workshop" to make space to pull the motor and box out, fix some oil leaks, replace the clutch, and replace a few minor broken things.  Also got a Lathe at the start of the year, which is adding to the annoyance of no space, which is another reason I'm trying to build things to get more space, to get the Lathe back in a final home for it. It's a BIG lathe, can turn a 355mm diameter, and 1metre between centres... Got it at a steal! So between it and the TIG and old MIG welder, I'll be fabbing some fun little shit up But we've had a lot of shit stuff happening at home, so it's slow going getting things done. But one step at a time!
    • I love Catalunya.  Got a 1:54.632. The AMG is a hoot.
