Hi all,

Over the last year and a half I have been engaged in the rebuild of my R34. During this time we have spent a lot of time and effort adding small touches here and there to make things a bit more unique. Some are specific, and others are more generic (i.e. for everyone)

One such part that we came up with was a cover plate for the R34GTT Power Steering Cap. Even though the standard one was in OK shape, I found that it was a "dull" point when compared to the rest of my engine bay which is mostly filled with shiny bits n pieces. So as per usual, the spanners were dropped and the drawing board was manned. The design brief was "simple, easy to fit, and attractive". Once the design was finalized, Ann Harris @ K-Bar was contacted to do the hard work - as always she delivered with fabulous results.

Business Details:

Ann Harris

K-Bar Laser Etching

http://k-bar.com.au/

All our initial designs involving this technology were sent to numerous suppliers around Australia. Ann came back with the lowest quote from everyone, and was happy to assist with material choice, artwork and other recommendations. In total, around 20 suppliers were contacted and these guys were by far the best deal for our purposes (i.e. once off designs and productions)

What's on Offer

For those who took part in the R34 Fuse Box Plate Group Buy, the quality of the item is already known... the photos below show MY OWN version of the Power Steering Cap Plate - the final picture is the artwork that Ann has done for me, so I can offer it to you guys. Please note, even though I am 99% sure that this is good for ALL Skylines (dimension wise), please check by taking a ruler to your engine bay!

The third picture is the artwork sent to me this morning by Ann - there are a couple of designs there to choose from. I am under the impression that the numbers required for this GB are TOTAL UNITS, not UNITS PER DESIGN. So mixing n matching the order is fine.

Pricing

Ann is still finalizing the quote based on 0-10, 10-20, and 20+ units.

Just like the last group buy, pricing will include 1x Plate, Postage, and maybe a little surprise (not guaranteed)

GROUP BUY END DATE AT THIS STAGE IS: 15/11/2008 (or earlier pending public interest)

Specifics

Material: 3mm Metalgraph Plus (brushed stainless look)

Etching: All etching will be in BLACK (no exceptions)

Holes: No mounting holes will be needed; two small dabs of adhesive are all that is required for mounting

Care: Minimal care is required, this material is scratch proof - an odd wipe wouldn't hurt though

Interested pending price. Won't want to pay much for such a little thing :dry:

Is one of the bottom 'GT-4's supposed to read 'GT-T'? I would prefer that.

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
