Any auto store such as Superheap, Autobarn etc will have mesh. You'll have to cut it to fit but that's you're best bet. Just don't get some ugly colour like anodized blue or something like a Holden:p

^This!!!

And yeah Supercheap etc have it.... I will probably do mine at some stage so if you do have a go make sure you take pics and post them up for us ;)

My cooler is all black but after getting a large rock breaking my windscreen i would be worried about the same size thing hitting my Plazmaman cooler, so mine will be more for protection :)

Yeah not a bad idea! We were going to do a mates Silvia first so i would have had practice but it was in a pile up and is now in getting repaired........ I wanna see someone have a go before trying lol

i did mine just bought the mesh from auto barn cut it with side cutters about 30mm bigger all the way round the bent it over and cut out sections to make tags and sikaflexed it on.works great.i got black and painted my cooler black and u cant really notice its there.

dont buy the shit at repco its rubbish its thin and bends easy,unless they have changed there suppplier recently.

I got it because it was thin, it has better flow than the thicker stuff, and I found how it bends easy was a good thing as you can easily form it and shape it around corners.

Me too, so easy and cheap!

I was wanting to do the same...but the pattern, thickness and quality of the stock intercooler mesh cannot be matched. Everything bought at Bunnings, Supercheap Auto or Autobarn sucks. I decided to leave my GTR naked.

You can get some cool waterjet cut stainless or alloy and powerdercoated mesh from usa , two custom sheets i just priced shipped is around 150 and its not the thin crap or cut up its full size sent priority mail

two places in the states have at least 20 patterns and ? About how many colours , some is ghetto SUV , 300c stuff but the stuff I found is like nothing else around

Stainless steel security mesh, comes in different size weaves and is strong enough to stop a thief... And is already black, costs about $30 for an offcut, mine has been on for three years and looks just as new...

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
