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

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
