'sports Racks' Have To Go

Hi guys - just a quick one - what's the easiest way to ditch the sports racks - you know, the soccer-mum roof rail things. I want a smooth, colour coded roof on my car - was there a stagea variant that came out without them that I could pilfer from, or is there any aftermarket trim pieces available locally?? I don't really want to have to have new metal welded in if I can help it - too expensive for an aesthetic modification....

opinions?

Muchos Gracias!

Yeah, there are trim pieces available, but I dunno where you would get them. I am pretty sure Andy (EGA4IT) had them on his beast so maybe he could help? I seem to remember that they are the same colour as the rails though, so if you want them colour coded you may have to get them painted.

Thanks mate, will see what I can find - easy enough to get a couple of pieces of plastic sprayed....

dude, embrace the racks

i have a basket and another set of crossrails on my stag lol

Ah yes: It's a Zen thing.... The racks DO keep the Fuzz from hassling me, but they clash with the huge brakes/lumpy idle motif I've gone for with the rest of the car - they just look so sleek when lowered without the racks - They've gotta go...

my rail covers were carbon fibre

east bear in japan made carbon fibre and fibreglass covers to cover the holes left by the racks dont know if they are still produced. I think powerplay imports is an east bear distributor maybe give them a call

east bear don't make them any more. the only item they list in their current catalogue for stageas is a S2 carbon bonnet.

and don't bother with powerplay unless you have the patience of a saint. a saint who makes rollies with $50 bills.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
