Does anyone need a CAMS approved fire extinguisher bracket for Philip Island?

CAMS scrutineers are currently cracking down on poorly mounted extinguishers. This bracket has recently passed CAMS scrutineering at Sandown and the comment made was “that’s what I like to see, nuts and bolts”

Because i couldnt find any for sale i developed my own and have had a few extras made. these are for sale $90 ea to cover some of my costs and time.

Suits R33 & R34 GTR and should also fit non GTR?

I have M6 high tensile bolts and nuts so will included these.

you can get cams approved extinguishers from bunnings with the bracket included for like $30.

i think the cams rule update was that they needed to be bolted and not screwed in.

im sure someone will correct me if im wrong.

You will need to use this bracket to mount the one included with the extinguisher that you buy. Not sure about the Bunnings extinguishers. CAMS required at least one metal clip to hold it in place.

a picture etc....

Thanks for that, I see you have the M35 Stagea, nice car!

Even if your not tracking your car you dont want it come loose in an accident! CAMS schedule H says the bracket must withstand a deceleration of 25G so if the extinguisher weighs 5 kg? then thats 125kgs of force. I havent tested this (and hope i never do) but am very confident it would be fine because it is solid as a rock. anyway the bracket that comes with the extiguisher will give before my seat bracket does.

hey you made me think, it may fit older Stageas. arent they based on the R33 Platform? does anyone know if you can bolt R33/34 seats stright into a stagea?

thanks man!

yeh i havnt checked either lol i think theres a screw in each hole which is like 8 screws all up, so its no moving!

yeh the c34 stageas im pretty sure are interchangeable with the R33. maybe post in the stagea forsale thread.. a few of em track so it may be worthy!

i need a new spot so if you make em for the v35's, ide be interested!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.

      I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
