im thinking of putting black steel mesh on the bottom of my standard bumper to cover the intercooler pipes showing

i want to stick them not on the inside of the bar but put them on the outside of the plastic frame

was just wondering whats a strong glue that will definatley hold them into place?

does anyone have any final pics of when they put the steel mesh on them selfs

ive also added a picture and dotted around the outside were i would like to place the black steel mesh

Did you want to cover the cooler pipe so you can't see it?

Because I don't think black mesh will cover it much, have you thought about spraying the pipe matte black?

That's what I did to mine and it looks pretty steathy now :blink:

i just want it there to cover it a tiny bit but i also think it will look good.

You can measure up the hole then buy some mesh and cut it up to size and either use some siler flex (Spelling) or a weather proof silicon to hold it down.

I am not sure how easy it is to cut mesh, but you might need to get it cut professionaly...

Unless you use very sharp wire cutters...

Aluminium mesh is a piece of cake to cut with some tinsnips.

I think the product you're referring to is SikaFlex - http://www.sika.com.au/cmi/auto_products_adh.htm which can be bought at most good auto/hardware stores.

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
