Hey ppls.

I've been browsing the Nengun pages and I see these "Cooling Panels" (the one shown was for an S15) which look like they sit above the radiator to replace the standard plastic one...

Is there any advantage to these or are they pure rice?

Does anyone here have one for a skyline?

www.nismo.com.au sells them. They are supposed to help direct airflow that comes in through the grill. I'm sure they had some sort of benefit, how much are they worth on Nengun? I personally wouldn't pay more than about $30 for one.

As far as I can see they cut off airflow through the grill to the radiator. $150 ??? it is so easy to make yourself if you want one. cut a template from cardboard and transfer it to a piece of alum sheet from your local hardware about 0.8mm about $12. You can cut the stuff with heavy duty scissors. For Brissy people i've got template for R33 GTS25T

even easier would be to take the alum to a place with a guilitione press, for $5 they will cut u the alum. Then u get that perfect cut surface

Jay - I'd be pretty keen on getting a template if your willing to post to Canberra :(

Or even better, if you could post it up on SAU somewhere :rofl:

I've got a nice peice of alloy that I've been eyeing off for this project for a while now...

Cheers

They guy's

I have made one this weekfor a 33GTST and will be doing a group buy next week

They are made from brushed stainless steel so they look very similar to the genuine ARC ones. No need to polish and keep polished like aluminium.

They are computer drawn, then computer plasma cut and professional folded

At he moment I will have 33GTST and soon have 33 GTR, s15.

If I can get hold of a r34 and r32 so I can copy them I will be making them aswell.

Price will be $70 plus post.

      Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
