M35 Brake Fluid Panel Cover

I am getting a bit sick of having a nice battery cover one one side of the engine bay while there is a gaping hole on the other side which has nothing but uglies on display (plus I'd like to hide the catch can ;))

I have ordered a G35 battery cover "kit" from the US which, I am told, will require cutting and at least 1 bracket to fit properly.

Will post pics etc when I fit it.

Now, I figure I can't be the only one that thinks this way (although it is a common occurrence :down:) so depending on how many people (if any) would be interested and how much needs to be done to fit it, I will look into a group buy in the not-too-distant future.

Cost will be a maximum of $160 delivered to your door with clips and whatever bracket(s) are necessary and will obviously be cheaper the more people want to go ahead with it, but for now, if you are interested feel free to say so :blink:

Very bloody interested!

By the way Cam, I modified the catch can by cutting a hole in the top, threading it and fitting a knurled cap with o ring. Now I can run the stainless scourers inside it. I am making a bracket to hold it in too if you want one.(instead of the cable ties)

LOL... yeah wouldn't mind. Will save me a bit of time this weekend making one up (cable ties were temporary :D )

Scourer? again?? Why not take the top off (unscrews I am told) and add a divider down the middle to force the air down and around? Maybe better, yes?

They are definitely threaded but I couldnt budge it. Now I have a fancy knurled cap. :D

I was going to make an alloy sheet brake unit cover and paint it black but this idea sounds much better, just hope it fits ok.

For those interested, here are a couple of pics with the cover fitted (no brackets as yet).

Price will be $145 which includes cutting to the cover and shipping to your door.

If interested you should not that there is some cutting of the existing bodywork that is necessary to fit it.

Need a minimum of 5 orders and will require payment up front :)

It would appear I need slightly more than the Break Fluid panel cover.. I thought there was meant to be something covering that corner :(

Spose getting a battery cover would now just look a bit silly too! Ah well.

Has anyone managed to persue this? what's the part no? I would be interested on 1.

I found one supplier on eBay US for around aud$80 delivered so a group buy should lesson the postage making them slightly cheaper again.

How many people would be interested on this group buy? 1 will have to be send to chc nz.

I can get 10 sets sent to me, but I can't ship them to people for that. Feel free to post the link.

IF you guys are interested in a GB, I would need a minimum order of 10 and the cost of each will be $92 shipped to your door.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By feartherb26 · Posted

      If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.

      This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).

      I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
