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.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
