Hi guys,

Since I have a series 1 front bar, there is alot of the front bar blocking the cold air hitting the intercooler.

I did a quick photo shop of what I want to do.

I will make it all neat ofcourse with fibreglass etc etc, but I was just wondering what you guys think, will it help in terms of performance? I don't really give two sh!ts about the looks, I'd prefer to keep it looking standard providing that it doesn't hinder my performance?

As you can see it covers about 50% of my intercooler, which I think is alot.

So, will I get better performance by doing what I have detailed in the pics attached?

Cheers

did the same thing to my car on the weekend.

took the front bar off, jigsawed out the number plate cross bar. used a saw blade and dremel to neaten the edging. i will be fibreglassing the cut bits to make it even and painting the lip and cooler black most likely to try and hide it a little while still having decent airflow.

i also used a dremel to mount my number plate off to the side using the standard clips and bolts.

i'll try and get a pic up if you are interested. but its not finished off yet.

Make sure you use epoxy resin to glass it, not the cheap polyester stuff.

Better still trim bits of the plastic offcuts to fit the gaps and get them plastic welded into place

cool thanks for the tips

didnt even think about using the plastic off cuts. they are in the bin now haha

is that a standard S1 front bar, mine is the same and from other pics i have seen i was under the impression that it was an m-spec, if it is standard them im happier because i have lost one of my grilles and it will be easier to find if its standard.

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
