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?

BASS OUT

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.

    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.      
    • roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.
