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?

Edited by philta

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

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • 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.
    • 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)?
