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?

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
