1. Look at the your fire extinguisher, it will have a maximum temperature written on it somewhere (well, it should).. if it's less than 50degC, I wouldn't leave it in the car on a hot day. At the very least don't have it mounted in direct sunlight.

2. Not that I know of.

3. Yes, the stock dump pipe AND front pipe, are rather restrictive.

4. Don't do it. If you really have to, be smart about reinforcing the areas that have been removed.

1) what bubba said - that said... i would say most AUST approved fire extinguishers would have to be designed to withstand our oven-like temperatures so you should be in the clear there...

2) give these blokes a call http://www.cplastix.iinet.net.au/

3) with skylines... any custom built and properly fabricated exhaust component will give better performance than stock "economy" considerate / cost cutting material... so yeah i'd say so..

4) i dunno man... wadda YOU reckon? do you reckon it'd be a good idea to hack up a structural crash absorbing thick piece of steel on your car for the sake of a bit more airflow?

...i didn't think so either :P

all the best!!

4) depends on ur front bar, i had to make some alterations due to the design of my greddy front bumper (n1 air ducts).

if you take out the reinforcement bumper there will be nothing but ur radiator support bar in the way if you get into a front end collision.

if u do get in a front end collision without it, the front of your car will be f*kd

    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.  
    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
