here are 2 options......... my drawing skill are rather ordinary but u get the idea, preportions will depend on the reo behind the bar etc

either its a GTR style grill or a Stagea style grill........ for the top section, the lower will be GTR spec and the sides will be RS6 spec

Wagzilla!

Icwatyoudidthere. Drawing skills much better than mine. I think the lower one is better, but I'm far from a style expert! I think it would look less gape-y. Maybe some little vents in the bottom sides to vent things like tranny coolers?

Haha, I think I like the top one.

The angle of those lines in the lower one make me think HSV (VY specifically) plus the gently lines work with the rounded disposition of headlights and might flow a little better with the rest of the car.

Nice drawings though :)

I think the drawing is the least of your worries. Nice job on those btw.

Actually blending it together in the flesh (plastic?) is going to be the real challenge. I'd like to see that! Should be an original though, if it gets done.

yeah the side vents will definately be utilised for coolers,

the finished product will definately look nothing like a HSV!!!

as far as trying to get the plastic to blend in isnt a problem as it will all be fibreglass and just painted black.

but yes i like a good challenge i have big idea's but achieving them is the hard parts LOL, still havent completed my guage cluster HAHA

Looks good but I can't help but think of the mitsubishi 380 when I look at it. Obviously it should look much better actually done

your dreaming Aaron............ how does it :P

i dont know lol even after i compare the two they look nothing alike.. as i said though it would look awesome!

Don't worry about him Theo.

Like we take notice of someone driving a bright orange turd!

seeing as the car's off the road for about 2 weeks i got drunk and this happened........

FYP Mate.

Blue... suppose it matches the calipers now :P

Oh, didn't see that you pulled all the shiny stuff out too. Going to put Leb mesh in?

installed my Mishimoto radiator today and i gotta say for the price $560 delivered i gotta say im not all that happy with it as far as mounting and clearance (the a/c condencer mounts to it also) even though i understand its for a G35 not a M35, also the trans section cannot be used because of the f**ked up size and thread thats on there, so i might have to look at the american market for fittings to suit.

as far as build quality and cooling capacity it is great.

so unfortunately im a bit dissiapointed but it should do a good job, and now i have to custom mount 2x 14" thermo fans to it. (you can keep the stock clutch fan though)

Did you try Pirtek for those barbs I told you about for the trans?

They seem to be working OK on Craigs car. Might be worth a shot- only $6 or something each, before you go to the states.

Na Alex i didnt try Pirtek cos Craig said they were sh*t fittings anyway.

oks cheers Scotty.

was running without the shroud around the clutch fan for a day and now i know that the thermo fan on the front works LOL cos everytime i stopped it would kick in so now i've put the shroud back on and it should run properly again but atleast i know that fan works.......... also thinking of putting a fan on the transcooler just in case, i've got it sitting infront of the passengers side wheel now...... not to sure how good the ventilation off the back of it is.

Yeah, they weren't crash hot, but was the first thing I could put my hand on that would work.

When you find something that works let me know, cause I need some too!

If your worried about the cooler flow, you could always cut a hole in the back of that plastic wheel arch and mesh it. That would flow ok I guess but not pretty. Otherwise maybe move it up above the intercooler where the other guys run it. Do you have something there already?

I'm sort of luck with my poor mans 1/2 size intercooler. There was plenty of space.

    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
