Hi all,

I just bought an APEXi strut brace off a guy in Qld.

On arrival here I noticed two small scratches where something has been rubbing against it, which werent evident in the photo - but bottom line is I dont wont to put it on my car anymore.

The guy in Qld has agreed to take it back, as he has others who were interested in buying it, BUT it will cost me once more in postage, which was $15.

It is annodised red, with carbon inlay and a silver APEXi sticker in the middle.

If anybody here would like to buy it, I will sell it for $155 (originally cost me $170 plus post), as I will get $170 back for it, just it will cost me another $15.

Pictures are on this thread: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=29412

Cheers

Steve

Steve,

I might be interestd in the brace,price is ok,my only problem is that it will fit over the top of my new (un-fitted) motor.I've built up (Mick at Tilbrooks) a good healthy 3ltr but it fits in at approx 30.0 to 40.0 mm higher(dont yet know if i will even get my 'glass bonnet closed)Is the carbon just rapped around the anodised alloy tubing or is it inserted into carbon tubing like we do on the carbon olympic bikes?By the way will back you in any way possible with your regency(project)- i havent been done yet(only a matter of time once back on the road!!) but if i can help in any other way please feel free to ask...

Regards,

SKYLINE....

skyline, thanks for the support on the regency thing.

The brace sits with a fair bit of clearance, it sits just under the bonnet (only just). The carbon is inlaid, its flush with the alloy. I think the 3L is 30mm higher than the 2.5 from memory. Hard to say I suppose until the engine is in. I had heaps of clearance, but I am running a trust plenum.

legend, no probs I will pm you my phone number, monday or tuesday is good, whatever is good for you.

Steve

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
