Hi everyone, first off i apologise if i have made a new topic when this question has already been asked, but i have used to search function and could not find anything.

well pretty much my questions are:

what are the pros and cons of the turbo beanie?

do i need to wrap the manifolds if i have a turbo beanie?

where can i get ceramic coating done in melbourne northern suburbs?

i have just heard some ppl sayin that a turbo beanie is good but its also bad since the heat gets built up or something? any help would be muchly appreciated. i dont thrash my car and rarely go past 4000 rpm but i can feel the heat on my legs and it seems my water temp is a bit higher than normal.

thanks for your help everyone

are you sure that you havent got the heater on.. on your feet? cause your turbo wouldnt be doing any serious work and i never feel the heat at my legs.. considering your turbo is on the passenger side too!

lol, yeah the heater isnt on, its closed off and it has more heat on the passanger side, its not hot as in unbearable, more like "hmmm should i be feeling warm since i didnt piss myself?"

thanks mate

If you don't thrash your car then there is no reason for the turbo to ridiculously hot to the point you can feel the heat burning your legs.

IMO you stock heat shield will do you fine.

I don't like the idea of wrapping the manifolds as it does not allow the heat to escape, but then some ppl will say, it is fine cuz the manifold is suppose to get hot and wrapping will not effect it.

you stock heat shield will be fine.

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
