omg that looks way so much better than mine :banana:! dammmm! umm but yeh just for now would it be ok till i save up and buy the front bar and trim it properly. I mean i trimed it a lil bit but yeh, just wanting to know...

Thanks, Geraus

shit man... why did you mutilate the bottom lip section?

Its a bolt-in kit... well... near enough to it anyhow.

As long as you dont chop the reo, your ok... but thats just gonna attract attention regardless

For the time being, get some garden lining and nail it along the bottom of the bar for a makeshift lip lol. My mate did it when he cut open his bar, looks alright, if you're not looking up close.

lol....sorry bud, i think you got a little to eager with things. good idea to get a kit that uses the factory pipes but having all your bits hangin out kinda defeats the purpose.

dont want to rub salt into the wound but it looks a little crooked too.

sometimes its best to take a step back, take a deep breath, and ask the good guys on the forum for some help and advice especially when it comes to hackin into the car.

    • Long time no random post about shit. So I went down this deep deep rabbit hole of battery storage for the home, ended up locking in a 41.9kWh Fox ESS EQ4800 with 9 units stacked. Battery uses Lithium Iron Phosphate, similar to what you find in those deep cycle boat/caravan batteries. And yes, why did I go with a cheapie brand and not like Synergy? simply because I don't plan to stay at this house for more than another 3~5 years.  The entire install, DC coupling (removal of existing invertor, connecting the current 6.6kW array direct to the battery invertor), new 8kW invertor is $6K all up (after all the rebates etc.). Going with this lot: https://www.aussiesolarbatteries.com.au/ It did seem a bit too good to be true, however seems like the Whirlpool community has vetted it and when it comes to this kind of stuff, they seem to be all over it: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/9pxj8482?p=38   I've requested for the battery to be installed outside, next to my meter board and not inside - rather have it combust and ignite outside lol.    
    • In Vic it would be a defect regardless of whether or not you cut a hole in the sheetmetal for the return pipe. The rules in Vic are shitful, and are generally interpreted as you can "make 2 mods to the intake system". Putting an FFP and an FMI onto it will almost certainly be seen as some huge number of intake mods. You really need to speak to an engineer before doing this stuff in VIC.
    • planning a r34 rb25 de+t with some other work, rather just have it done in a shop due to space limitations any recommendations? I have most the parts already I seen online Moore Performance and DR Drift any advice appreciated thanks 
    • I’ve read the previous posts so just looking for latest information on how people have dealt with front facing plenum is it a defect etc or didn’t pass roadworthy or was it not noticed? Have a r34 and deciding if I should make a hole on the driver side or not.  I know some people have said blitz return flow but I might get rid of the stock intake down the line for a plenum so I rather set up for that now plus I already have a standard Intercooler. Car is mainly stock  Thanks. 
    • Actually, if having and keeping the stock ECU is the plan, the correct answer is to put Nistune into the ECU and improve the situation, not just look at it.
