As a suggestion to everyone who carries an extinguisher, it doesn't hurt to practise using it. I would recommend getting belted up and then doing a practise run to see how quickly you can rip the extinguisher out of its bracket, pull the pin and pretent to pull the trigger. Even unbelt, grab it, and get out of the car with it in-hand.

I highly doubt it'll ever get used in a Texi day unless you have failing fuel hose or something odd like that... but personally I like knowing that if something did happen to my pride-and-joy, that I can reduce the amount of fire damage by being "on the ball". Honestly, it took a few minutes for me to work out how to pull the pin from my current extinguisher... it's a weird red "U" pin with clips and took a bit of force to pull the first time. Now I know!

Hey guys just an update for myself. Ah volunteering for time keeping, marshal and course set up if required. Have a helment to bring if anyone needs a spare. The blue beastie is sitting out this one. Also if anyone is kind enough to give me a ride in a R33 GTR or R34 GTR i wont complain ;)

damn this fire extuingisher issue has me stumped

bolted one in at the SAU nats that an exec had spare, does anyone know how to get the cool bolty in bit that goes under the front passenger seat rails?

I fab'd one up out of stainless.

Took about an hour.

Looks ok, does the job, and no extra holes in the car.

I just bit the bullet last time and brought a new extinguisher. Not to expensive and just bolted into the passenger side floor. I know you can get a seat bracket for the extinguisher that bolts where your seat bolts in, maybe try ebay.

no mods or fabrication or buying required (except an extinguisher with a metal strap)

undo the bolt that holds the bottom of the rear seat down and bolt the bracket in there. secure, no holes, easy to reach

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
