Fitment was easy. Didn't even need to remove the front bar. Took all the measurements I needed, removed old fmic and piping, make up some sturdy brackets for mounting the new fmic, slide it into place, bolt up. Check position/center ... tighten mounting bolts. Then fabricate up the pipework ... that took a while :P Still using the old silicone hoses and clamps, looking for new ones this week.

Good to know I can still weld :D No leaks, and neat welds. I pull the piping all off later this week/weekend to tidy up some of the splatter and paint it satin black. Fmic will stay polished this time :P

Because I have the type M bar now, the old fmic looked 'sad' in that gapping mouth :P The delta fin fmic suits the bar well and I was able to mount it lower than the previous fmic, allowing more flow to the cooler. :D

I'm interested in getting a dump/front pipe combo... can u PM me details of how much it cost?

cheers

-D

Pm not working for me at the moment!

$360 for the split dump and $250 for 200 cell hi flow cat. Not sure about dumps and front pipes for RB26 though.

    • 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?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
    • But if you had to go bury a body in the forest, would you not put that in the boot? Most of them are >=90kg these days.
