nah, it's just more convenient. no passengers allowed on track anyway, plus with passenger seat out my race box fits neatly in the space. i just put it in after track use. takes about 3 mins tops.

ahh cool nice...

Thanks Richard!

I'll return the supercheap one on the weekend or thursday!

Guys: Postage on that firstaids side is "'$16.50" for 1 and when I put in quantity as 2 it's the same :(

Maybe I could email them and ask for a group buy?

any 1kg extinguisher is not up to the task if ur car is on fire its only design to reduce the initial fire before assistance arrives. if ur driving till the point of overheating/fire (this is why u look at your gauges) or havent done the checks before a tack day is more important than anything else. as far as i know many guys dont even have heatshield's on their manifold/turbo/dump etc etc when those are the biggest fire hazard.

its the same chemical compressed to the required pressure and 1 valve. all the same shit if u ask me.

yes spend the extra $20 for peace of mind i can understand, but when it comes from supercheap, they wouldnt be allowed to sell it if IT didnt met standards.

dont be too quick to based price on quality.

where are the bfi ones made anyways?

there are big differences between so called 1kg extinguishers. some contain only around 500gm of chemical, some contain over double that. they are all rated though.

what's the rating on the supercheap one?

is that one of the foam bomb type extinguishers used in open wheelers? and looks externally activated (or atleast one trigger near the dash)

Yer craved thats correct is a 4kg unit with 6 spray nossles and 2 pull cables one for me in the driverseat and one on the right hand side front wing

they are an awesome setup, havent seen them used much in sedans though. worth it for sure

We have to run to FIA requirements and this is the requirement :-) 3 sprays inside and 3 under the hood. was only about 330$ so not to bad

Richard do you trust those those two small bolts in the bracket to hold the extinguisher back from flying off and getting you in the legs when you have a high speed off/stop?

Not sure what force is generated by a lkg+ mass when you do a Radisich Bathurst 06 into the wall but it's a lot.

They may be more than enough but just thought I'd put the question.

Cheers

yeah they should be fine. it's not on the drivers side of the car and i have been backwards into the wall before and it didn't budge. for sure they are not massive, but the extinguisher is very light, 2kg total weight. granted I wouldn't want it flying at my head though. not much option to fit any bigger ones sadly. :D

    • ..and forum.r31skylineclub has been down all week....anyone know why?
    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?
