want to make up a heatsheild, just wondering what the best material is?

Has anyone used the heat sheild that supershit autos sells? It looks good, but would it just be the same as using some alloy plating?

Just going to copy the design of the stock sheild unless there are better ideas out there.

Mate best way to make a heat shield I've found . and looks absoloutely mint

Although ur missus might not thinks so

Roughly measure your turbine housing

Take a walk into your kitchen grab out ur stainless Steel saucepans

Find the one closest to the size u need try and not let the Misso see u hahahahah

Take it to ur shed an and cut it in half

( obviously using the side that doesn't have the handle on it ;-) )

Mark ur bolt holes drill to suit

And ur away :-)

hahaha that is f**king awesome, how well does the kitchen pot work?

Does it have to be stainless steel or do the "non-stick" teflon ones work too?

Might try find a clothes dryer too then.

Ideas like those two are great

acl heat sheild is what you want, your local repco can order it in

that's the stuff i saw at supercheap, so it actually works and isn't just a cheap supershit item? Well at $50 a sheet i wouldn't call it cheap.

It looks pretty pro anyway, have you used it and is it effective?

The wonky shape was intentional, the far left was taken out further to block any heat excaping out the gap and to give protection to the ABS wiring.

And its better than the beanie which cost $250 and didnt last.

middle pic is what is left of the beanie..

I have also used the ACL heatshield which took me about an hour to do.. I found an old pic of when i first finished it, has since been refined and dodgey piping removed :P

      Well - they have arrived.  And they are easy on the eye to put it mildly... These only have three bolts - but for a start there is a key that fits with vacuum like precision..  And as you can see by my ruler, the interface is large..   I listened to a podcast on HP Academy about Dan (KiwiCNC) and I'm more than comfortable he knows what he is doing. R35 Bearing assembly should arrive later today so can mock that up for a look. Can't wait to get these on and get some brake pressure logging too. IMG_3860.MP4

      I would be very confident that they are the same parts (the 2 different SKUs). It seems very clear that you can drop the cam in the 2-way opening, or in the other opening. If you arrange it in the other opening in the same way that you see any other 1-way diff, ie, with the flat of the cam up against the 1° side of the opening, then it would work as a 1-way. It can only spread the ramps when driving forwards - cannot spread the ramps on overrun. It would then appear obvious that if you put the cam into the opening "backwards", that you would get the angled flats of the cam working onto the "points" of the 1° side of the opening, which would give you ramp spread in both loading directions. I do wonder if the forward direction of the 1.5-way config is equivalent to the forward direction of the 2-way, seeing as the cams are flipped and the angled surfaces on those would need to be the same on each side - AND - clearly when installed in either the 2-way or 1-1ay configuration they are not intended to work exactly the same (the ramp angles on the 2-way are 10° different between forward and backward, and the ramp doesn't exist in the 1-way config). 'twere me, I think I would rather actually have a set of rings that offered the 2-way with two different sets of ramp angles, say the 55/45 of the existing design and maybe a 45/37.5 combo for a less aggressive effect), AND another set of rings with a dedicated 1.5-way opening and a dedicated 1-way opening. The 1.5-way opening would actually have the steeper angle on the overdrive side that causes it to be less pushy than the forward drive angle, like you see in many other diffs. But really - if this Nismo thing is thought out properly and all those surfaces work on each other the way that they need to, who am I to argue?
