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

    • Well, in the same way that you can't tell any SUV from any manufacturer in any size category from any other one, "sports" coupes now all look identical. Stand back and squint your eyes and the Supra and the 400Z and the GR/BRZ things all look the same. I was just thinking last night, when sitting behind a Subaru CrossTrek, that I have no idea what it is, how it differs from an XV, or a Forester, or an Outback, or anything else Subaru offer, and I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be small, medium or large. I contrasted that to the good old days, where a HQ Kingswood had familial similarities to an LJ Torana, but there is no way that you could confuse them, and how a bit later, the HX Kinger and the concurrent Torana and the Gemini all had familial similarities, but you still could not confuse them. Ditto the ugly Fords and Chryslers of the era. But now, a RAV4 looks like a Kluger, looks like a Yaris/Cross/whatever they're calling those stupid f**king things, looks like every other Toyota that's not a Camry/Corolla sedan.
    • The Prelude doesn't look that bad without all that lens distortion in those pics. Makes it look disproportionate when it isn't. Actually I kind of liked it at the Osaka Auto Messe earlier this year. 
    • Pour in the highest octane, non-ethanol fuel you can get and see if the readout changes. If it's dead bang on 11% then I would question the sensor. Another quick test, just take it out and run normal (in an american accent) gas-o-line through it and see if the sampled ethanol or lack of changes.   United E85 here in the land of drop bears does vary a bit, I've had as high as E87 (could be water in their tanks too, who knows)
    • Yep. And if you ever do, you'll just have to deal with it then.
    • E10 is pretty tightly regulated in percentage. Too much and engines can't adapt. Every incentive is against them to have too little ethanol though. The more ethanol the higher the octane.
