www.mcmaster.com -> type 'perforated' in find products search bar to the left -> Select Perforated Aluminium Sheets -> Select your hole diameter and decide what size you want, site provides a scale next to a guys thumb. you'll want something reasonable size if its for the 'mouth' of the front bar, especially if you have a FMIC

I got mine from a glass & aluminium business, they make windows and security screen doors. I got some nice dense black mesh off-cuts for free and it looks pretty sweet. I don't have any photos, but it's like that stuff you have on screen doors (not flywire) but nice thick powder-coat stuff.

Yep the screendoor and fly screen places have the best selelctrion, and its really solid... really hard to bend the stainless steel stuff but great finish... I found the normal auto acces. places had only the tacky lookin large holed stuff bugs and stones could go straight thru it...

it depends on what you want it for. if it is for a CAI duct or to cover the intercooler to hide it then you want one with larger holes to allow maximum airflow. if it is too tightly meshed it will restrict a lot of air.

killer thread, just what i was looking for. I was looking in like bunnings and shit, but screen door place def sounds the trick.

All the "auto" stuff is cheap, and the black fades and looks like crap.

so most people have got free cut-offs from the screen places?

anyone got pics?

      We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.

      Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
