Yeah it's for your own good. Don't show up without one.

So can I use cable ties to fix the bracket of the extinguisher to the seat rail adjustment bracket thingy or does it need to be fixed to the car in a special way?

I was gonna just leave the thing in the glovebox hehe but cable ties are sufficient yeah?

Cams handbook says it must be bolted (not even tech screwed) to the body. Probably just a good idea to do it properly once? Do a search, I'm sure people have published their simple solutions.

Dave I understand you don't want to drill holes in your new car, and we don't expect you to, but your going to need to come up with something slightly more creative than cable ties. Sorry.

It needs to be securly fastened to the car somewhere.....

Can I suggest that you look around inside your car for somewhere there is an existing bolt. Such as seat rail, seat belt anchor point, centre console mount mounts, just something that you can remove and existing bolt, then replace the bolt back in it's spot with the extinguisher bracket in between. You may need some oversized washers to get this done, or you may need to drill a slightly bigger hole in the fire extinguisher bracket.

The way a lot of us do it in the GTR's is to remove the bolt where the rear lower seat mounts to the body of the car, and put the bracket between this bolt and the body. If you imagine you were a rear passenger this bolt would be touching your calf muscle. (back of your lower leg) See if the taxi has something like that.

Good luck.

edit.

yep. thats right. gtr's eat grass and you dont make friends with flannel.

I beg to differ, Leigh and I made mates with the course car guys at Sandown cause they thought our matching flannies were funny. You never know frysy, I might just have a little present for you this weekend, just for being a nice guy.

Surely that would put it out of reach for the driver, defeating the purpose? Its a big taxi remember?

In the fraud the front seats fwd/back adjustment is a thick metal bar that goes from one rail to the other, I was gonna use some big fark off cable ties to fix the bracket there. I'll try a D-Shackle or similar type bolt around the same bar. Either way, I'll ensure there is a metal fastener being used somehow.

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
